| Abstract [eng] |
During the work, the anatomy of a dragonfly and the principles of wing movement are first analyzed, identifying the main flapping modes and their influence on flight characteristics. An overview of existing flapping mechanisms is also performed, evaluating their design solutions, advantages, and disadvantages. Based on the analysis, a flapping mechanism was developed based on a five-bar kinematic system, which allows the generation of complex wing trajectories. To improve the performance of the mechanism, a genetic algorithm was applied to optimize the geometric parameters. During the optimization, parameters were determined that allow the mechanism to replicate the selected trajectories as accurately as possible. Experiments showed that the algorithm is able to find suitable solutions, although ideal replication of the trajectories is not achieved due to structural limitations. The results of the work show that the developed mechanism can be applied in the development of bio-inspired flying systems, and the applied optimization methods are effective in solving complex engineering problems. |
