Design and analysis of multilayer beams which are used for motion

Multilayer beams are widely used in robotic area due to some advantages. To create a special motion in limited spaces , multilayers are essential for both designers and engineers.This motion can be used to moving the system or other purposes. Nowadays, the soft grip is a new term for robotic and mechanical engineering fields. It uses the same theory of multilayer beams to create a displacement. Unlike conventional multilayers beams, it uses soft material such as silicon, rubber or fabric because of some advantages. In this study , a pneumatic soft gripper have been designed and analysed with engineering softwares in terms of 2D, 3D for singular and multi- gripper. Also a design of experiment (DOE) have been performed to see effect of each factor such as air Basınç, geometrical variables etc. Results and graphs of study have been shared at the final stage. According the results of DOE, designers can optimise their systems.
