An In-pipe Mobile Robot Using Electro-conjugate Fluid
An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of functional fluid, which produces a jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to high DC voltage. This study introduces the ECF jet to develop a novel inchworm like in-pipe mobile robot which mainly consists of two clamping units (a clamping actuator, an ECF jet generator and an ECF tank) and a propelling unit (a propelling actuator, an ECF jet generator and...
متن کاملPractical design of a liquid rate gyroscope using an electro - conjugate fluid
An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of dielectric fluid that works as a functional/smart fluid generating a powerful jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to a high d.c. voltage. The authors previously proposed the first liquid rate gyroscope in the world using ECF. The ECF liquid rate gyroscope proposed uses the drift of the ECF jet due to the Coriolis force when an angular motion is applie...
متن کاملMicro Fluid device Using Thick Layer Piezo Actuator Prepared on Si Micro-machined Structure
The design and fabrication of a piezoelectric micro actuator on a silicon diaphragm is presented for application of micro ink jet. We developed the micro devices for the fluid transference that are fabricated using thick film technologies for ceramic materials and Si micro-machining. The performance of drop ejection was shown from the optimal design parameters. It is closely related to the prec...
متن کاملParameter Optimization of Mems-based Micro Triangular-prism-slit Electrode Pair as an Electro-conjugate Fluid Jet Generator
Study on electrodes, which are inserted into electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) and generate ECF jet, is still in progress. A sort of so-called triangular-prism-slit (TPS) electrode structure was proposed and it is often thought as a promising candidate for future ECF effect applications thanks to its relatively high performance and easy fabrication. Besides considering power density characteristic ...
متن کاملNonlinear Vibration of Smart Micro-Tube Conveying Fluid Under Electro-Thermal Fields
In this study, electro-thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibration and instability of embedded piezoelectric micro-tube is carried out based on nonlocal theory and nonlinear Donnell's shell model. The smart micro-tube made of Poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is conveying an isentropic, incompressible fluid. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the remarkable effects of mean flow vel...
