Description 1023-1027
Contractile
thruster has become a trend for underwater robot propulsion because of its
prospective and advantages. However, it is difficult to determine the
performance of the generated jet pressure from the small thruster. Thus, in
this research an analysis was carried out to observe the radial contraction
effects on the jet pressure by applying balloon-manometry technique. Four Ionic
Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) filament actuators had been utilized as the
longitudinal artificial muscle. The lengths of the IPMC actuators were 30 mm,
40 mm and 50 mm. During actuation, the radial contraction differentiated the
pressure in the cylindrical shape balloon which was measured by a gauge
pressure transducer. The result shows that at 30 mm length, the obtained
pressure was almost 0.01psi. The shorter IPMC actuator gave higher contraction
force and propulsive pressure.
