Comparison Study of Membrane Flapping Wing Based on Mooney-Rivlin Model and Linear Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

The maximum deformation and stress are compared based on Mooney-Rivlin Model and Linear Model for flapping wing. One flapping cycle was divided into twelve segments, and maximum deformation and stress were calculated in each segment. The results show that max deformation and stress all occur at the beginning of downstroke, the max deformation adopted Mooney-Rivlin model is 25 percent of the max deformation adopted the linear model, and the max stress adopted Mooney-Rivlin model is only 0.37 percent of the max stress adopted the linear model. Mooney-Rivlin Material is very suitable for the membrane flapping wing.
