Incorporating Mullins Effect into the Modeling of Hyperelastic Actuators
The use of hyperelastic materials in actuators has become increasingly popular due their immense number of degrees of freedom, ability to recover from large deformations, and the capability to absorb energy in many types of environments. Some prototypes for these actuators utilize instabilities that...
