A study of manufacture of IPMC actuator and the high molecule finite element analysis.
IPMC 구동기의 제작 및 고분자 해석기법에 관한 연구
Abstract
The laminate IPMC actuator have been developed with a commercial Nafion film and platinum electrodes. Equivalent beam and equivalent bimorph beam models for IPMC(Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite) actuators are described. By using a beam equation with estimated physical properities and actuation displacements of a cantilevered IPMC actuator are estimated. And Finite element analysis(FEA) was done by ANSYS.
