The Concept and Design of Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscles [PDF]
International Journal of Fluid Power, 2001 AbstractThis paper describes the design of a new type of Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM), namely the Pleated Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PPAM). It was developed as an improvement with regard to existing types of PAM, e.g. the McKibben muscle. Its principle characteristic is its pleated membrane.

Modelling and assessment of pneumatic artificial muscle
International Journal for Engineering Modelling, 2006 The pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) being a new type of actuator is widespread used in engineering field because it possesses the attractive attributes of safe operation, low cost, high output force to volume. It is a prime requirement to establish an effective theoretical model to predict the performance of the PAM as well as other actuators.
