Abstract:Bio-hybrid system are morphing structures whose shaping can be electrically driven and strongly depends on the geometrical and mechanical characteristics of the system. The estimation of those characteristics which allow for getting target shapes is a great challenge. We present and discuss an approximate model for narrow bio-hybrid strips which works well in plane bending. A generalization towards three-layers bio-hybrid system is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
