This paper presents a fully coupled fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulation model of soft pneumatic actuator (SPA). Previous research on modelling and SPAs mostly involves finite element (FEM), in which the fluid pressure is considered as load uniformly acting internal walls actuator. However, FEM does not capture physics flow inside an SPA. An accurate physical behaviour SPA requires two-...

The authors present a thermally and dynamically coupled fluid–structure-interaction (FSI) model of thermoforming process variant along with simulation results. By purposeful arrangement the inlet nozzles, under consideration seeks to improve deformation behavior plastic sheet made polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ultimately leading more uniform wall thickness distribution. In order capture complex int...

Maritime structures operating out at sea experience large changes in wetted area because of free surface waves. Although these conditions are typical for maritime applications, a fundamental experiment that includes structure the air–water interface undergoing transitions from dry to wet and back does not appear exist. This paper aims fill knowledge gap. We present an which pendulum is suspende...
