Geometric Design of a Bio-Inspired Flapping Wing Mechanism Based on Bennett-Derived 6R Deployable Mechanisms
View through CrossRef
In this paper, we present the concept of designing flapping wing air vehicle by using the deployable mechanisms. A novel deployable 6R mechanism, with the deploying/folding motion of which similar to the flapping motion of the vehicle, is first designed by adding two revolute joints in the adjacent two links of the deployable Bennett linkage. The mobility of this mechanism is analyzed based on a coplanar 2-twist screw system. An intuitive projective approach for the geometric design of the 6R deployable mechanism is proposed by projecting the joint axes on the deployed plane. Then the geometric parameters of the deployable mechanism can be determined. By using another 4R deployable Bennett connector, the two 6R deployable wing mechanisms can be connected together such that the whole flapping wing mechanism has a single degree of freedom (DOF).
