Abstract

This paper addresses the modelling of a distinct flapping wing mechanism sans any gears deploying only the primitive slider and hinge type joints. The proposed contraption is meticulously designed so as to hamper vibrational flutter and enhance durability. Initially, equations of forces enacting at significant motion transformation junctions are articulated in terms of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE) and then these DAEs culminate as the characteristic mathematical model for the mechanism. The derived mathematical model is then harnessed to optimize the performance characteristics of the system. Further, results attained from the mathematical formulation are assessed and validated with graphical analysis.
