Abstract
It is suspected that instability problems in the current generation of lung simulators are caused by its actuator, a brushless DC motor, in combination with the system configuration. The hypothesis is that these problems can be resolved by replacing the actuator with a backdrivable actuator (that is, an actuator that responds well to external force) in a new system. In this BSc Thesis this hypothesis is researched. The backdrivable actuator (in this particular case, a Voice Coil actuator) in a new system can overcome the instability problems.
