Drop Induced Shock Mitigation Using Adaptive Magnetorheological Energy Absorbers Incorporating a Time Lag
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study addresses the nondimensional analysis of dropinduced shock mitigated using magnetorheological energy absorbers (MREAs) incorporating a time lag. This time lag arises from two sources: (1) the time required to ...
Contractile Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Configured to Generate Extension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are comprised of an elastomeric bladder surrounded by a braided mesh sleeve. When the bladder is inflated, the actuator may either contract or extend axially, with the direction of motion ...
