Computational Design of a Soft Robotic Myocardium for Biomimetic Motion and Function (Adv. Funct. Mater. 40/2022)

Soft Robotic Myocardium In article number 2206734, Ellen T. Roche, Clara Park, and Caglar Ozturk introduce a computational framework using finite element and fluid structure interaction methods to guide the design and optimization of soft robotic composites with multiple actuating parts, prior to prototyping and experimental testing. A biomimetic soft robotic cardiac muscle replicates the kinematics and functionality of cardiac muscle.
