Dynamic simulation of a peristaltic micropump considering coupled fluid flow and structural motion [PDF]
This paper presents lumped-parameter simulation of dynamic characteristics of peristaltic micropumps. The pump consists of three pumping cells connected in series, each of which is equipped with a compliant diaphragm that is electrostatically actuated in

The design, fabrication, and testing of corrugated silicon nitride diaphragms [PDF]
Silicon nitride corrugated diaphragms of 2 mm×2 mm×1 ¿m have been fabricated with 8 circular corrugations, having depths of 4, 10, or 14 ¿m. The diaphragms with 4-¿m-deep corrugations show a measured mechanical sensitivity (increase in the deflection ...

Existing soft pumps often require tradeoffs between performance and compatibility with soft robotic systems. The proposed trielectrode electrostatic soft pump addresses these limitations through an innovative driving mechanism. Its design, which includes a trielectrode configuration and the use of compliant materials, improves operational efficiency ...

Design, Modeling, and Control of a Soft Robotic Diaphragm‐Assist Device in a Respiratory Simulator
A soft robotic diaphragm‐assist device using fabric‐based pneumatic actuators with a 2‐step control system to optimize synchronization and support is introduced. This system can detect the initiation of breathing to trigger assistance and regulate pressures to provide the correct level of inhalation augmentation. Validation and testing are completed on

Incident shock-wave characteristics in air, argon, carbon dioxide, and helium in a shock tube with unheated helium driver [PDF]
Incident shock-wave velocities were measured in the Langley 6-inch expansion tube, operated as a shock tube, with air, argon, carbon dioxide, and helium as test gases. Unheated helium was used as the driver gas and most data were obtained at pressures of
