Study on Finite Element Model of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle

Abstract:

Based on the study of the mechanics features of pneumatic artificial muscle including the nonlinearities in material, geometry, and with the method of nonlinear finite element analysis, the three-dimensional finite element model of a pneumatic artificial muscle was established. The analytical results were confirmed by the experiment with the use of a pneumatic artificial muscle test bench.
