An Application of Finite Element Modeling to Pneumatic Artificial Muscle from FESTO

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to introduce and to present the Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAMs) the most used in robotics and automated applications in Europe and Asia. Many treatises discussed the mathematical and numerical modeling, especially for McKibben muscle type. Also, I am going to explain the working principles of PAMs to understand their behavior, how generate forces and translations. Modeling theoretical application made by the others will be discussed and a Finite Element Method Analyze (FEM) of a muscle designee by FESTO will be shown and also will underline the importance of computer design phase applied in robotics and automation. After that we can create a test stand for pneumatic muscle to confirm the catalog sheet and to implement them in a prostheses device power by PAMs.
