The Nonlinear Oscillation Simulation of Robofish’s Two Joints Tail

Abstract:

to study the nonlinear oscillation principle of new robofish’s two joints tail, the relationship between tilt angle of tail fin that produces thrust and cycle offer quency produced by two joints fin tail propulsion system can be calculated applying reciprocating motion principle in theory; by means of contrastive analysising the results of calculation model, and making use of MATLAB simulation environment to experimental simulate motion model, the fin tail NLSST can be further proved.
