摘要

This paper presents a multidisciplinary experimental study to characterize a flexible flapping-wing by investigating the relationship between deformation and production of aerodynamic forces through series of wind tunnel experiments. The experimental setup consists of a flapping mechanism for singledegree- of-freedom flapping actuation and with input/output power and flapping kinematics measurement, a high responsive load cell for measuring the lift and thrust, and a unique digital image correlation system that consists of only one camera and a stereo vision spectroscope for capturing the structural deformation. Technical challenges of setting up experimental system for driving and measuring are resolved in this study, aerodynamic loads, wing kinematics, and wing deformations are synchronously measured. Intensive data analyses are performed to extract useful information from the experimental results, strong correlations between passive deformation and aerodynamic performance are revealed.
