Artificial muscle is a new style of actuator with novel working principle, which owns the advantages of compact structure, high power-to-weight ratio, compliance and easy application. Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is usually used in robotics, medical auxiliaries and other small force output occasions nowadays. However, it suffers problems of small power, hysteresis and poor repeatability. A kind of artificial muscle working at high pressure was researched. Different muscle styles are compared and MicKibben structure is selected while fluid media is determined. Furthermore, factors of geometry and material properties, which limit the ultimate pressure, are analyzed. Formulas and simulations verify the influence of limitation and help to calculate key parameters of 18MPa artificial muscle. Data show that it is possible in theory to design high pressure artificial muscle by overall consideration of initial diameter, initial contraction angle and material properties, initial length only influent the stroke.

The aim of this paper is first to determine the state of stress of welded joint repaired by steel sleeve and epoxy composition. Experimental measurements are performed on samples to determine required material properties. The structural analysis by finite element method (FEM) is performed for a pressurized pipe with insufficiently welded root and installed cold sleeve. Simulated is the case of depressurized pipes that could cause a breach of cohesion between filling material and surface of pipe or sleeve with usage of cohesive finite elements. In the end the sleeve dimensions are optimized with respect to maximum integrity to the repaired sleeve.

Magnesium alloys are known to be hard-forming materials at room temperature owing to their material structure. This study analyzes the optimal temperature conditions of warm-forming and the forming process by using a high-pressure laminating test and FM analysis, respectively. The effect of temperatures on the fatigue limit was examined from the collected specimens by analyzing the material properties after the fatigue test. The material formed at a temperature of 230°C shows occasional defects, but the best forming quality was obtained at 270°C. The optimal temperature for the forming process was found to be 250°C considering the material quality and thermal efficiency. The overall fatigue life of specimens decreases with an increase in the processing temperature. The fatigue limit of AZ31 formed at 250°C was approximately 100 MPa after 106 cycles.
