主 题:ionic polymer-metal composite snap-through dynamics thermal treatment actuator
摘 要:The nonlinear dynamics of curved ionic polymer-metal composite(IPMC)actuators having large tip displacement and periodical jumping locomotion was investigated *** snap-through phenomena,the actuator generates much larger tip displacement and shows abrupt jumps in the transitions of upswings and downswings with low input *** curved IPMC cantilever actuators having two different constant curvatures of 0.01 mm^(−1) and 0.02 mm^(−1) were fabricated through thermal treatment from flat IPMCs,simultaneously with no residual ***-fabricated IPMC actuators were tested to evaluate the effect of initial curvature under static and dynamic electrical *** the case of the flat IPMC actuator,asymmetric characteristics in step and harmonic responses were investigated in the curved IPMC ***,at relatively higher input voltage,snap-through phenomena were observed with much larger transverse displacements and periodical abrupt jumps of the instant *** revealed jumping movements between the multiple equilibrium *** results show that optimum curvatures for better bending performance of curved cantilever IPMCs exist and that this snap-through mechanism could be applied to IPMC actuators by considering their soft and flexible properties and the geometric structures.
