Abstract

During the last decades, the ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) received much attention because of its potential capabilities, such as large displacement and flexible bending actuation. In this paper, a biomimetic flapping air vehicle was proposed by combining the superiority of ionic polymer metal composite with the bionic beetle flapping principle. The blocking force was compared between casted IPMC and IPMC. The flapping state of the wing was investigated and the maximum displacement and flapping angle were measured. The flapping displacement under different voltage and frequency was tested. The flapping displacement of the wing and the support reaction force were measured under different frequency by experiments. The experimental results indicate that the high voltage and low frequency would get large flapping displacement.

摘要

在过去几十年中，离子聚合物-金属复合材料（IPMC）因其潜在能力，如大位移和灵活的弯曲驱动，受到了广泛关注。本文结合离子聚合物金属复合材料的优势与仿生甲虫扑翼原理，提出了一种仿生扑翼飞行器。比较了浇铸IPMC和IPMC之间的阻塞力。研究了机翼的扑动状态，测量了最大位移和扑动角度。测试了不同电压和频率下的扑动位移。通过实验测量了不同频率下机翼的扑动位移和支撑反作用力。实验结果表明，高电压和低频率会产生较大的扑动位移。
