Abstract
Pneumatic tube type structures have been studied extensively in the field of soft
robotics. These pneumatic tube structures have advantages in terms of ease of use as
well as being able to control structure stiffness through pneumatic control so that it is
widely used in everyday life. However, few studies have investigated the material
properties of pneumatic tube type structures such as the variation of stiffness by
pneumatic control. The purpose of this study is to analysis the mechanical properties
variation of the composite materials reinforced with pneumatic tubes which
pneumatic pressure are varied. By using the finite element code, the performance
changes of the hybrid composite materials according to parameters in relation to the
performance of the existing composite material such as pneumatic tube diameter and
arrangement interval of tube are analyzed. The effects of parameter variations on the
material stiffness of the composite materials reinforced with pneumatic tubes are
investigated through numerical study.
