Abstract

This paper presents dynamic modeling of an innovative contractible ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMC) actuator with a helical configuration. The helical shaped IPMC actuator is fabricated through the thermal treatment of an IPMC strip, which is helically coiled on a glass rod. This type of a soft actuator can be used to realize not only bending motion but also torsional and longitudinalmotion. For the first time, an explicit analytical expression is developed for the computation of mode shapes and dynamic responses of a helical IPMC actuator based on the intrinsic equations of the naturally curved and twisted beam. The numerical transfer-matrix method is used to solve the systems of 12 linear ordinary differential equations with boundary conditions. In particular, the effect of the structural parameters on the performance of the helical IPMC actuator is evaluated, using experimental results and an analytical model. The validation of the proposed model is achieved through comparison with computational results using a commercial finite-element (FE) program as well as experimental results. The present experimental and theoretical results show that diameter, among the structural parameters, plays an important role in the actuation performance of a helical IPMC actuator. The proposed modeling is general and can also be used in solving other cylindrical or noncylindrical helical IPMC actuators with different cross-sectional shapes as well as various end conditions.
