A FEM-Experimental Approach for the Development of a Conceptual Linear Actuator Based on Tendril’s Free Coiling

<div>A modified picture from [<a href="/journals/abb/2017/6450949/#B17">17</a>]. (a) Cross-sectional area of a <i>Passiflora</i> tendril; (b) magnification of the lateral wall of the tendril section. The G-cells can be distinguished from the remaining plant body through the thick delineation of their oval cell structure.</div>
