Experiment Research on Bionic Structure of Mechanically Coupled Diaphragms for Sound Source Localization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Studies on orientation mechanisms of the auditory systems and research of bionic structures of subminiature creatures, especially of the parasitoid fly Ormia Ochracea which has a remarkable ability to detect the direction of the incident sound stimulus despite of its tiny body size, may provide preferable solutions for the miniaturization of acoustic localization structure. In this paper, the bionic acoustic sensing device are set up and taken as the research object to find feasible orientation mechanisms, and experiments on bionic acoustic sensing device are conducted after the test system has been established.
