In this study, a method for fabricating actuators made of various silicone materials is proposed to improve the flexural performance soft-body actuators. Specifically, redundant deformation part soft actuator was replaced with material higher hardness limit actuator. Materials lower were used produce main actuator, so that body could perform greater bending under same air pressure and create fo...

This research was conducted to determine the impact bending strength and dynamic bending strength of Norway spruce wood from Slovenia. An accelerometer was added to the impact pendulum in order to capture the material’s response to an instantaneous load. Impact bending strength of specimens were determined by standard method measuring the height of pendulum before and after the break. While mea...
