چکیده
The design, manufacture and testing of micro-sensors and -actuators for aerodynamic drag reduction by flow control is described. Key factors in the designs are discussed, for example, the type and shape of the actuator electrodes affect the critical parameters of frequency response and deflection amplitude. Some aspects of future work are also covered. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملLeading-edge Vortices Control on a Delta Wing by Micromachined Sensors and Actuators
Instead of using conventional flaps to generate torques, we explore the feasibility of applying micromachined sensors and actuators to control leading-edge vortices, and consequently, provide sufficient moments for flight control. By utilizing a “flexible skin” containing 64 micromachined shear stress sensors, instantaneous separation line on the leading edges can be detected. We applied microa...
