商品描述

Flapping wing vehicles (FWVs) have unique flight characteristics and the successful flight of such a vehicle depends upon efficient design of the flapping mechanisms while keeping the minimum weight of the structure. Flapping Wing Vehicles: Numerical and Experimental Approach discusses design and kinematic analysis of various flapping wing mechanisms, measurement of flap angle/flapping frequency, and computational fluid dynamic analysis of motion characteristics including manufacturing techniques. The book also includes wind tunnel experiments, high-speed photographic analysis of aerodynamic performance, soap film visualization of 3D down washing, studies on the effect of wing rotation, figure-of-eight motion characteristics, and more.

Features

  • Covers all aspects of FWVs needed to design one and understand how and why it flies
  • Explains related engineering practices including flapping mechanism design, kinematic analysis, materials, manufacturing, and aerodynamic performance measures using wind tunnel experiments
  • Includes CFD analysis of 3D wing profile, formation flight of FWVs, and soap film visualization of flapping wings
  • Discusses dynamics and image-based control of a group of ornithopters
  • Explores indigenous PCB design for achieving altitude and attitude control

This book is aimed at researchers and graduate students in mechatronics, materials, aerodynamics, robotics, biomimetics, vehicle design and MAV/UAV.

He is now a full professor and the former department chair of Mechanical Engineering, Tamkang University, and is also the editor-in-chief of "Journal of Applied Science and Engineering" (an EI/Scopus/ESCI journal with ISSN 1560-6686). Prof. Yang devoted to the researches of polymer microelectromechanical systems (polymer MEMS, especially parylene and gelatin techniques) and flapping wing micro air vehicles (FWMAVs) for 20 years and has ever published 66 journal papers, more than 100 conference papers, 2 textbooks about MEMS, and 17 US/Taiwan patents about polymer MEMS and micro ornithopters. He has ever been the Taiwan side's PI of the Indo-Taiwan project "Design, Development and Formation Control of Micro Ornithopters (102-2923-E-032-001-MY3)" during 2013-2016. In this project he built up not only the technical cooperation between India and Taiwan but also coauthors several international journal papers with some Indian scholars/institutes. Prof. Yang hosted 2 international conferences including "The International Conference on Biomimetic and Ornithopters (ICBAO-2015)" and "The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ICIUS-2017)." He is also one of the vice presidents of International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems (ISIUS) since 2017.
