Torsional actuation

We have fabricated the torsional actuator by depositing PPy on a tube substrate with helically wound platinum fibers. While the fabrication process follows closely the work of Ding et al. [Ding et al. (2003)], they adopted the approach for a different purpose and did not examine torsional actuation of such devices. We have conducted experiments on actuators with different dimensions and fiber winding angles, which have not only confirmed torsion and other deformation modes of these actuators but also validated the nonlinear mechanical model. [Pg.145]

Secondly, conjugated polymers were studied as biomimetic artificial muscles. A scalable physics based electro-chemo-mechanical model was developed to connect an input voltage to bending of the material. The reduced version of the model was used to design a robust adaptive controller. Also, a nonlinear mechanical model was investigated. Furthermore, a torsional actuator was developed by depositing PPy on a tube substrate with helically wound platinum fibers. A set of experiments were conducted to confirm the torsional and other actuation modes as well as the model. [Pg.268]

The tensile actuation in polymer coil muscles is directly linked to torsional actuation derived from the twisted polymer fibre. To illustrate the link between fibre torsional actuation and coil tensile actuation, coils were fabricated as either homochiral or heterochiral , depending on whether the... [Pg.456]

The twisting nanotube yam actuators based on first principle mentioned above enable fully dry torsional actuation as the main driving mechanisms are based on electrothermal and/or photothermal effects. These actuators do not require electrolyte, counter electrode, or extra package as it is needed for electrochemically driven actuators (Chun et al. 2014). Indeed, the electroactivity of nanotube yams were firstly described in setup where bundled fibers were immersed in electrolyte the overall capability of twisting of actuators was demonstrated later without ion... [Pg.441]

The development of novel electromechanically active materials also demands suitable methods for characterization of their actuation performance. Actuators can be constructed in a variety of configurations - bending, linear length change (Torop et al. 2009 Ghaffari et al. 2013), and torsional actuation (Foroughi et al. 2011) being... [Pg.480]
