Analysing the reliability of actuation elements in series and parallel configurations for high-redundancy actuation

A high-redundancy actuator (HRA) is an actuation system composed of a high number of actuation elements, increasing both travel and force above the capability of an individual element. This approach provides inherent fault tolerance: if one of the elements fails, the capabilities of the whole actuat...
