Abstract:
Dynamical behavior of a dragonfly-like with rigid flapping wings considering aerodynamic forces has been modelled and simulated. At first, the dragonfly with its unique flying capabilities and the reasons for choosing it has been introduced. Then, modelling process is started with preliminary definitions including frames, coordinates and equations of motion, continued by applying initial conditions and ended with verification tests. After that, aerodynamic effects in a quasi-steady sense is added to dynamical model resulting in an 18 DOF model developed to be used for nonlinear simulation or controller designing. At the end, the results are validated in comparison to an experimental study. Putting together the dynamic and quasi-stable aerodynamic models in a correct way along with validation by an experimental research is the advantage of this study
