Active Dense Tensegrity Structure: A Novel Concept for Shape Morphing Systems
The active dense tensegrity is desired to possess significant differences in bending stiffness (K) when considering the bending direction (up or down). Dense tensegrity structure was manufactured using tetrahedrashaped particles as the compression elements, and carbon fibers were used as the tensional cables such that an assembly in a dense planar array was obtained. Three types of polyhedral e...
متن کاملCpg Control of a Tensegrity Morphing Structure for Biomimetic Applications
Rhythmic movements associated with animal locomotion are controlled by neuronal circuits known as central pattern generators (CPG). These biological control systems appear to entrain to the natural frequencies of the mechanical systems they control, taking advantage of the resonance of the structure, resulting in efficient control. The ultimate goal is employing these controls in a biomimetic a...
متن کاملActive inflatable auxetic honeycomb structural concept for morphing wingtips
This paper describes a new concept of an active honeycomb structure for morphing wingtip applications based on tubular inflatable systems and an auxetic cellular structure. A work-energy model to predict the output honeycomb displacement versus input pressure is developed together with a finite element formulation, and the results are compared with the data obtained from a small-scale example o...
متن کاملActive vibration control of a three-stage tensegrity structure
This experimental study demonstrates the efficiency of simple control strategies to damp a 3-stage tensegrity tower structure. The tower is mounted on a moving support which is excited with a limited bandwidth random signal (filtered white noise) by a shaker. Our goal is to minimize the transmissibility between base acceleration and top plate acceleration using piezoelectric displacement actuat...
متن کاملA Novel Approach to Anatomical Structure Morphing for Intraoperative Visualization
In computer assisted surgery 3D models are now routinely used to plan and navigate a surgery. These models enhance the surgeon’s capability to decrease the invasiveness of surgical procedures and increase their accuracy and safety. Models obtained from specifically acquired CT scans have the disadvantage that they induce high radiation dose to the patient. In this paper we propose a novel metho...
