Experimentally characterized embedded Mckibben muscle as a nastic material for biomedical applications

This study presents the experimental results that characterize a nastic sheet material’s performance. We defined nastic sheet as a McKibben muscle designed from a foundation that would be embedded as an array in an elastomer matrix. The goal is to be able to utilize the embedded McKibben sheets in t...
