On the dynamics of curved magnetoactive soft beams

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: Recently, a new type of magnetoactive soft materials, called hard-magnetic soft (HMS) materials, was manufactured by embedding hard-magnetic microparticles into a soft matrix. The mechanical responses of HMS structures, especially the static deformations of initially straight HMS beams, have received significant attention due to their potential applications in soft robotics, flexible electronics, and biomedicine. However, it is also important to investigate the dynamical behaviors of HMS beams to fulfill their potential applications. In this study, a large-deformation dynamical model of curved HMS beams actuated by a harmonically rotational magnetic field was developed and solved analytically and numerically. It was found that the curved HMS beam tends to align with the applied constant magnetic field and exhibits periodic vibrations when subjected to a periodically rotational magnetic field. Moreover, when the rotational frequency of the magnetic field is close to the natural frequency of the beam, the system resonates and the vibration amplitude of the curved beam becomes extremely large.

Modeling, Characterization, and Application of Soft Bellows-Type Pneumatic Actuators for Bionic Locomotion

Huichen Ma et al.

Summary: This article presents the structure design, fabrication method, and material property test of soft bellows-type pneumatic actuators (SBPAs). An analytical model and design approach for SBPAs are established based on plate bending theory, considering geometric complexity and material nonlinearity. The verification results show good agreement between predicted analytical results, physical experimental measurement, and simulation results. The impacts of geometric dimensions and material characteristics on the bending deformation of SBPAs are explored. This work provides a detailed investigation of SBPA's performance, which can be a basic module for various types of soft robots in the future.

Hard-magnetic phenomena enable autonomous self-healing elastomers

Daniel Garcia-Gonzalez et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new concept of self-healing soft material that can heal after rupture without external actuation. By filling a sticky and soft elastomeric matrix with hard-magnetic particles, the material can close cracks when the ruptured parts are approached to each other. Experimental results show that the proposed soft materials can sustain mechanical loading beyond 20% strains after several fracture cycles without compromising the structural integrity.

Geometrically Exact Finite Element Formulation for Tendon-Driven Continuum Robots

Xin Li et al.

Summary: Tendon-driven continuum robots achieve continuous deformations through tendon contractions. The constant curvature assumption is accurate for some cases but inaccurate for soft robots or robot-environment interactions. To model the complex deformations of continuum robots, we developed a finite element model based on the geometrically exact beam theory and demonstrated its accuracy, efficiency, and applicability through numerical examples.

A unified dual modeling framework for soft and hard magnetorheological elastomers

Dipayan Mukherjee et al.

Summary: This work presents a unified modeling framework for both hard and soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs), including the response of soft MREs as a limiting case. The proposed framework provides efficient numerical solutions for boundary value problems involving both hard and soft MREs. The calculations for the deflection of a pre-magnetized cantilever show excellent agreement with experimental data. The analysis also demonstrates the effects of pre-magnetization profiling and particle concentration on the actuation performance and residual magnetic field of the MRE structures.

A minimally designed soft crawling robot for robust locomotion in unstructured pipes

Wenkai Yu et al.

Summary: The minimally designed soft crawling robot (SCR) presented in this article is capable of robust locomotion in unstructured pipes with various geometric/material properties and surface topology. The robot can squeeze through narrow pipes smaller than its cross section and is able to propel robustly in spiked pipes. The locomotion mechanism of the robot is experimentally investigated and analyzed, revealing that the resultant forward frictional force is generated due to the asymmetric mechanical properties along the length direction of the robot.
