Abstract

Recently the design of curved thunder actuators (deflections from 1 mm - 15 mm) has been a topic of study for many researchers. The work in this study deals with the development of a general technique based on shell theory. The technique can be applied to a broad array of actuators to include: Rainbows, Thunders, C-Blocks and others. The formulation begins with the equations for a general shell theory. Next the equations are reduced to the forms of equations for the particular actuators in a manner that they can be applied to a myriad of curved composite actuators. The technique is then experimentally verified on a Thunder actuator system. Next, the system is controlled using both classical and intelligent control techniques. In addition hardware and circuitry issues are explored.
