Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of viscous liquid within a closed elastic cylinder subject to external forces with application to soft robotics
Shai B. Elbaz,Amir D. Gat +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interaction between the deformation of elastic structures, subject to external forces, and an internal viscous liquid was studied, where the authors focused on viscous flow through a thin-walled slender elastic cylindrical shell as a basic model of a soft robot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of Elastic Beams with Embedded Fluid-Filled Parallel-Channel Networks
Yoav Matia,Amir D. Gat +1 more
TL;DR: A scheme to design channel networks that create predefined oscillating deformation patterns in response to external oscillating forces is presented and the ability to include inertial effects is relevant to the design of dynamic soft robots and soft actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axial creeping flow in the gap between a rigid cylinder and a concentric elastic tube
Shai B. Elbaz,Amir D. Gat +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine transient axial creeping flow in the annular gap between a rigid cylinder and a concentric elastic tube and employ an elastic shell model and the lubrication approximation to obtain governing equations for the elastohydrodynamic interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding Inchworm Crawling for Soft-Robotics
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid-quasistatic analysis of crawling gaits of a soft robot with two bending actuators is presented, where the authors investigate the influence of phase-shifted harmonic inputs on performance of crawl gaits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leveraging Internal Viscous Flow to Extend the Capabilities of Beam-Shaped Soft Robotic Actuators
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the interaction between elastic deflection of a slender beam and viscous flow in a long serpentine channel embedded within the beam and obtained a fourth-order integro-differential equation governing the time-dependent deflection field.
