Abstract

Considered lumen elastic deformation, modified Reynolds equation is deduced based on body fluid non-Newtonian model in this paper. The influence of main structure parameters of the medical micro-robot on minimum mucus film thickness and driving force is studied. Under the given condition optimal values of structure parameters are predicted and this can be used in practical condition.
