Design of mechanically intelligent structures
Review of modelling stimuli-responsive materials for adaptive structures
Smart materials are upcoming in many industries due to their unique properties and wide range of applicability. These materials have the potential to transform traditional engineering practices by enabling the development of more efficient, adaptive, and responsive systems. Ho ...
Soft grippers show adaptability and flexibility in grasping irregularly shaped and fragile objects. However, the low loading capacity and less deformation limit the soft gripper for developing large-scale applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new concept of ...
Grippers are widely used in many industrial applications, but are limited due to their rigid constructions and no adaptability to varying stiffness. The solution for this would be the use of soft grippers. One way to design soft grippers is to use smart materials, such as hydr ...
Soft grippers have shown their ability to grasp fragile and irregularly shaped objects, but they often require external mechanisms for actuation, limiting their use in large-scale situations. Their limited capacity to handle loads and deformations also restricts their customiz ...
