Nonlinear analysis of a fiber-reinforced tubular conducting polymer-based soft actuator [PDF]
This study presents the analytical modeling of a fiber-reinforced tubular conducting polymer (FTCP) actuator. The FTCP actuator is a low voltage-driven electroactive polymer arranged in an electrochemical cell. The electrochemical model is developed following an electrical circuit analogy that predicts the charge diffused inside the actuator for an ...

Towards an applied metaecology
AbstractThe complexity of ecological systems is a major challenge for practitioners and decision-makers who work to avoid, mitigate and manage environmental change. Here, we illustrate how metaecology - the study of spatial interdependencies among ecological systems through fluxes of organisms, energy, and matter - can enhance understanding and improve
