Journal ArticleDOI
A nonlinear model for ionic polymer metal composites as actuators
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear dynamic model of motion actuators based on ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) working in air is presented, where significant quantities ruling the acting properties of IPMC-based actuators are taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model for ionic polymer metal composites as sensors
TL;DR: It is observed that the need for a wet environment is not a key issue for IPMC-based sensors to work well, showing that sensors do not suffer from the same drawbacks as corresponding actuators.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Tactile Sensor for Biomedical Applications Based on IPMCs
TL;DR: In this article, a prototype of a multifunctional tactile sensor using ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) is proposed, designed, and tested, which can detect the presence of a material in contact with it and to measure its stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of the harvesting capabilities of an ionic polymer metal composite device
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model able to predict the energy harvesting capabilities of an ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) material working in air by using the vibration transmission theory of an Euler?Bernoulli cantilever IPMC beam.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of ionic polymer–metal composite actuators in underwater operations
TL;DR: In this article, the Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam theory and the concept of hydrodynamic function are used to describe the interaction between the beam and the water.
