Special Issue: Integrated Design and Operation of Engineering Systems with Predictive Modeling – September 2022
J. Mech. Des. September 2022, Volume 144, Issue 9 Guest Editors: Pingfeng Wang, Sayan Ghosh, Yongming Liu, Zissimos P. Mourelatos, Jitesh Panchal, Piyush Pandita Growing trends toward increased complexity and prolonged useful lives of engineering systems present challenges for system designers in accounting for the impacts of post-design activities on system performance (e.g., costs, reliability, customer satisfaction, environmental impacts). Examples […]
Co-Design of the Morphology and Actuation of Soft Robots for Locomotion
This paper proposes a Computational Design Synthesis (CDS) method for the automated design of virtual, soft robot morphologies with the automated co-design of actuation. In the first method, the actuation of designs is described by Parametric Actuation Curves (PACs) that model feedforward actuation patterns.
