Pneumatically Actuated Soft Gripper with Bistable Structures

Zheng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study presents the design and testing of a novel self-adaptive soft gripper that integrates pneumatic actuators and bistable carbon-fiber reinforced polymer laminates. The gripper shows good compliance and adaptability for gripping deformable objects of various sizes, shapes, and weights. The results demonstrate the superior performance of the gripper in terms of shape retention, object grasping, and response times.

Space deployable bistable composite structures with C-cross section based on machine learning and multi-objective optimization

Zheng Zhang et al.

Summary: This study presents a data-driven computational framework that combines machine learning and multi-objective optimization for the design of space deployable bistable composite structures with C-cross section. The combination of finite element method, multi-objective optimization technique, and experiment method is proposed to obtain the optimal geometric parameters. The accuracy and effectiveness of the optimization result are verified through experimental results. Additionally, a parametric study is conducted to determine the influence of geometric parameters on mechanical behavior and coiling-up stability.

Optimization design and 3D printing of curvilinear fiber reinforced variable stiffness composites

Zhanghao Hou et al.

Summary: The paper proposed an optimized design method based on stress gradient distribution for CFRCSs to improve strength efficiency of continuous fiber reinforced composites. By studying the mechanism of fiber content regulation and proposing an adaptive feed calculation method, 3D printing of CFRCSs was achieved, leading to a reduction in stress concentration factor and an increase in ultimate tensile strength. The optimized design approach aligns fiber distribution with stress distribution, while redistributing stress to reduce concentration, ultimately enhancing ultimate strength.

Experimental study of orthogonal bistable laminated composite shell driven by magnetorheological elastomer

Zheng Zhang et al.

Summary: A novel orthogonal bistable laminated composite shell driven by magnetorheological elastomer was developed, which enables rapid, reversible, non-contact, and continuously controllable stable transition between two stable states. Experimental results demonstrated the potential for flexibly driving orthogonal bistable laminated composite shells with the proposed magnetorheological elastomer actuation.

Impact of hygrothermal environment on the bistability of variable stiffness laminates with curvilinear fibre paths

P. M. Anilkumar et al.

Summary: Moisture absorption in composite materials plays a significant role in the analysis and design of structural components, depending on the surrounding environment. The stress field generated by moisture absorption can cause a reduction in curvature and relaxation of actuation energy required for changing shapes. This study examines the impact of hygrothermal environment on the bistability of variable stiffness composite shells with curvilinear fiber paths, using semi-analytical formulation and numerical modeling.
