商品描述

This book provides in-depth coverage of smart materials, including electroactive polymers (EAPs), synthetic muscle, pneumatic artificial muscle, soft pneumatics, hydro-muscle, and other cutting-edge transformational smart material technologies. It looks at ways smart materials respond to stimuli, such as electricity, pressure, temperature, magnetism, or light. State-of-the-art developments in EAP based actuation and pneumatics are covered, including nanotechnology, soft robotics, EAP considerations for NASA applications and thermal control of satellites, control of mirrors using dielectric elastomeric actuators, and biomimetic design and function in robotics and prosthetics. A detailed analysis of the challenges of smart materials on Earth and in space is included, with an interview about considerations and training for Missions to Moon and Mars. This book is a must-read within the smart material and space communities, from tech savvy students to industry professionals.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書深入探討智慧材料,包括電活性聚合物(EAPs)、合成肌肉、氣動人工肌肉、柔性氣動裝置、水力肌肉及其他尖端轉型智慧材料技術。它研究智慧材料如何對刺激作出反應,例如電力、壓力、溫度、磁性或光線。本書涵蓋了基於EAP的驅動和氣動技術的最新發展,包括納米技術、柔性機器人、NASA應用的EAP考量及衛星的熱控制、使用介電彈性體驅動器控制鏡子,以及在機器人和義肢中的仿生設計與功能。書中還詳細分析了智慧材料在地球和太空中的挑戰,並包含了一次關於月球和火星任務考量及訓練的訪談。本書是智慧材料和太空社群中必讀的書籍,適合從技術精通的學生到行業專業人士的各類讀者。

作者簡介

Lenore Rasmussen, PhD, is the CTO and Founder of Ras Labs, and she is also an adjunct professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where she created and teaches the graduate course "Smart Materials and Actuators (and Biomimicry)" through the Robotics Engineering Department. Her corporate experience includes Johnson & Johnson. While in grad school at Purdue, a relative suffered a traumatic farm injury, and she investigated prostheses, but was disappointed with what was available in the marketplace. Her drive to advance prosthetic technology led her to invent Synthetic Muscle(TM) - electroactive polymers (EAPs) that contract and expand at low voltages, which garnered attention in the robotics community. Dr. Rasmussen is a recognized global leader in the EAP industry with multiple patents and publications, presentations at global conferences, including the SPIE Electroactive Polymers Actuators and Devices (EAPAD) Conferences, Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA) conferences and world congresses, and robotics meetings and consortia, and multi-media communication, including NASA TV. She holds a PhD in Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry specialty, from Virginia Tech, MS in Biology, Biophysics Specialty, from Purdue University, and double major Bachelor of Science degrees in biochemistry and chemistry from Virginia Tech.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Lenore Rasmussen 博士是 Ras Labs 的首席技術官及創辦人,同時也是伍斯特理工學院(WPI)的兼任教授,她在機器人工程系創建並教授研究生課程「智能材料與驅動器(及仿生學)」。她的企業經驗包括在強生公司(Johnson & Johnson)工作。在普渡大學(Purdue)攻讀研究生期間,她的親戚遭遇了一次創傷性農場事故,她開始研究義肢,但對市場上可用的產品感到失望。她推動義肢技術進步的動力使她發明了合成肌肉(Synthetic Muscle™)——一種在低電壓下收縮和擴張的電活性聚合物(EAPs),這引起了機器人社群的關注。Rasmussen 博士是 EAP 行業的全球領導者,擁有多項專利和出版物,並在全球會議上發表演講,包括 SPIE 電活性聚合物驅動器與設備(EAPAD)會議、矯形與義肢協會(AOPA)會議及世界大會,以及機器人會議和聯盟,還有多媒體溝通,包括 NASA TV。她擁有維吉尼亞理工大學的化學博士學位,專攻聚合物化學,普渡大學的生物學碩士學位,專攻生物物理學,以及維吉尼亞理工大學的生物化學和化學雙主修理學士學位。
