ABSTRACT
To achieve desirable biomimetic motion, actuators must be able to reproduce the important features of natural
muscle such as power, stress, strain, speed of response, efficiency, and controllability. It is a mistake, however, to
consider muscle as only an energy output device. Muscle is multifunctional. In locomotion, muscle often acts as an
energy absorber, variable-stiffness suspension element, or position sensor, for example. Electroactive polymer
technologies based on the electric-field-induced deformation of polymer d ....etc

Enhancing Input On and Above the Interactive Surface with Muscle Sensing


INTRODUCTION
Interactive surfaces extend traditional desktop computing by allowing direct manipulation of objects, drawing on our experiences with the physical world. However, the limited scope of information provided by current tabletop interfaces falls significantly short of the rich gestural capabilities of the human hand. Most systems are unable to differentiate properties such as wh ....etc

Construction material subjected to repetitive or cyclic loading have to be qualified for their fatigue behaviour. Generally their behaviour is considered satisfactory if they withstand two million cycle of repetitive loading without distress or failure at that required mean stress level and range stress.
The recent research in reinforcing Portland cement based material with randomly distributed fibres was spurred by pioneering research or fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) conducted in the United state in the 1960s.The addition of fibre in the co ....etc

ABSTRACT
ARTIFICIAL MUSCLES “ A STUDY
For many years, the idea of a human with bionic muscles immediately conjures up science fiction images of a TV series superhuman character that was implanted with bionic muscles and portrayed with strength and speed far superior to any normal human. As fantastic as this idea may seem, recent developments in electroactive polymers (EAP) may one day make such bionics possible. Polymers that exhibit large displacement in ....etc

A mechanical draft band should be automated so that the control and display via a standard PC can happen. The position is controlled by a DC motor (to send PWM) and read via optical encoder. The pressure in the pneumatic muscle should be tested using the PC can be set and the force sensor has an analog output, should be made through the PC can be read. Results should be visualized on the screen and saved in an Excel spreadsheet ....etc

Electroactive Polymer “Artificial Muscle” Operable in Ultra-High Hydrostatic Pressure Environment
ABSTRACT—
Transducers for high-power sonars, an important tool for undersea exploration and monitoring, may be required to work in deep water where pressures are higher than several tens of MPa.
In contrast with the piezoelectric devices commonly used as highpower sonars for seabed resource exploration, electroactive polymers offer the benefits of high coupling efficiency, low cost, and the ability to form ....etc

Abstract:
Transducers for high-power sonars, an important tool for undersea exploration and monitoring, may be required to work in deep water where pressures are higher than several tens of MPa. In contrast with the piezoelectric devices commonly used as high-power sonars for seabed resource exploration, electroactive polymers offer the benefits of high coupling efficiency, low cost, and the ability to form large area skins or other devices. One question about the use of electroactive polymers for sonar has been their ability to withsta ....etc
