Hyperbolic traveling waves driven by growth
We perform the analysis of a hyperbolic model which is the analog of the Fisher-KPP equation. This model accounts for particles that move at maximal speed ε (ε > 0), and proliferate according to a reaction term of monostable type. We study the existence and stability of traveling fronts. We exhibit a transition depending on the parameter ε: for small ε the behaviour is essentially the same as f...
متن کاملChemically driven traveling waves in DNA.
The nonlinear mechanical model constructed in a previous paper [Nuovo Cimento D 20, 833 (1998)] is developed in order to study the dynamics of the DNA double helix. It is assumed that the hydrophobic interaction between subsequent base pairs may be influenced by a RNA polymerase. The Lagrangian, constructed on the basis of "geometrical" properties of the DNA molecule, depends on time and contai...
متن کاملNew Compliant Mc-Kibben Actuator Driven by Pneumatic Actuators as a Hexapod Platform in Robotic Applications
This paper presents the design and implementation of a parallel-kinematic hexapod tool driven by pneumatic actuators. It consists of six discrete linear actuators, each of which is assembled as an antagonistic setup of McKibben pneumatic muscles with pressure and position sensors. Thanks to the antagonistic principle of the units together with the inherently nonlinear behaviour of Mc-Kibben act...
متن کاملSoft, Rotating Pneumatic Actuator.
This article describes a soft pneumatic actuator that generates cyclical motion. The actuator consists of several (three, four, or five) chambers (arranged around the circumference of a circle surrounding a central rod) that can be actuated independently using negative pressure (or partial vacuum). Sequential actuation of the four-chamber device using reduced pressure moves the central rod cycl...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Bending Pneumatic Rubber Actuator Based on Non-linear Finite Element Analysis
This paper shows a new design and prototyping method for pneumatic rubber actuators. The method enables us to design pneumatic rubber actuators optimally and efficiently based on static analysis using non-linear finite element method, in which geometrical and material non-linearity are considered and also enables us to prototype them rapidly and efficiently by a CAD/CAM based rubber moulding pr...
