  • Modeling and control of a biologically inspired compliant structure

    Creator:
    Ray, Cody W.
    Abstract:
    We hypothesize that the extraordinary maneuverability and efficiency of bats in flight are in part due to the compliant nature of their wing structures. We utilize the parameters of bat bones measured by biologists to create a biologically inspired model of a flapping system consisting of a rotating hub actuator...

  • Theoretical modeling and experimental analysis of the flight mechanics of Lepidoptera

    Creator:
    Wilson, Tyler
    Abstract:
    Development of micro air vehicles has led to a strong interest in the biomechanics of flapping fliers such as bats, birds, and insects, due to their ability to perform extreme unsteady maneuvers and fly in confined spaces. Determining the methods and mechanisms used by these fliers is a valuable source...
