Actuator configuration evaluation dataset

This dataset serves as a guide for how different actuator configurations behave under different loading directions, at different angles.The reader can extract useful information regarding the stiffness and energy behaviour of different configurations to determine the best one for their use case. See the Legend sheet for the configuration designs, loading directions and actuation pressures. Actuator Cinfiguraions:Control- All excel sheets, data and graphs named Control, regard the (not stiffened), silicone only actuator.Configuration 1- All excel sheets, data and graphs named Configuration 1, regard the stiffened actuator that utilises spine configuration 1.Configuration 2- All excel sheets, data and graphs named Configuration 2, regard the stiffened actuator that utilises spine configuration 2 Angles:The angles stated (0,45,90 deg) regard the actuator's distal end orientation when.
