摘      要：Aiming at exploring the excellent structural performance of the vein-stiffening membrane structure of dragonfly hind wings,we analyzed two planar computational models and three 3D computational models with cambered corrugation based on the finite element *** is shown that the vein size in different zones is proportional to the magnitude of the vein internal force when the wing structure is subjected to uniform out-of-plane transverse *** membrane contributes little to the flexural stiffness of the planar wing models,while exerting an immense impact upon the stiffness of the 3D wing models with cambered *** a lumped mass of 10% of the wing is fixed on the leading edge close to the wing tip,the wing fundamental fre-quency decreases by 10.7%～13.2%;if a lumped mass is connected to the wing via multiple springs,the wing fundamental fre-quency decreases by 16.0%～18.0%.Such decrease in fundamental frequency explains the special function of the wing pterostigma in alleviating the wing quivering *** particular features of dragonfly wings can be mimicked in the design of new-style reticulately stiffening thin-walled roof systems and flapping wings in novel intelligent aerial vehicles.
