An
artificial muscle represents a pneumatic
execution element wich is constructed by a
flexible tube and an exterior cover wich restrict
the deformation and convert into linear
displacements. There are various applications but
the field of biomedical engineering is considered
the principal. These elements are used to
simulate the functioning of natural muscle.
The aim of this application is to study the model
of hip joint using two elements in antagonic
configuration. At this stage, the stand is
looking like in the figure below:
Experimental stand
The command element is a
electric 2/4 valve commanded by an
microcontroller through the following power
electronics schematics:
