Soft robotic manipulators have many traits and are increasing being used in many different fields. The design and stress analysis of a manipulator is a starting point for its fabrication and subsequent use in the corresponding fields of application. In this paper, the design of a continuum manipulator and stress analysis of its critical parts are presented. The illustration is divided into three levels to facilitate the conception of the full assembly. The design illustrates the constituent parts and their associations, and the stress analysis indicates the areas bearing the most stress as well as the maximum expected displacement in the part’s body. This study provides a guideline for researchers to implement their design concepts, towards achieving the full outcome of their research. |
