Empirical Modeling of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle
نویسنده
چکیده
Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) yields natural muscle-like actuator with high force to weight ratio, soft and flexible structure, and adaptable compliance for rehabilitation and prosthetic appliances to the disabled. To obtain optimum design and usage, there is significance to understand mechanical behavior of the PAM. In this study, experimental results reveal empirical modeling for relations of physical variables in contraction and air-pressure of the PAM to mechanical characteristics, that is stiffness and force of the PAM available in market.

Pneumatic artificial muscles exhibit highly non-linear static characteristics especially due to inherent properties of their materials and compressibility of air. Therefore, it is difficult to control them without adequate modeling and simulation. The paper deals with the numerical approximation of the static characteristics of McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle. The muscle force dependence o...
