Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite Actuators: Investigation of Parametric Model Based on Electrical Values

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to present the results of laboratory research on Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC), with measurements of electrical values (voltage and current) measured simultaneously with the displacement. The obtained values were used to investigate the possibility of parametric model building. The research is focused mainly on constant frequency sine wave voltage signals. Phase offsets between voltage, current and displacement for different frequencies are calculated. Envelope and mean values of the electrical values are also described.
