It has been observed that an ionic polymer?metal composite (IPMC) is both inherently resistive and capacitive. This allows for the material to be modeled using an equivalent RC circuit to describe the charging/discharging behavior associated with the

Specialized propulsors for naval applications have numerous opportunities in terms of research, design, and fabrication of an appropriate propulsor. One of the most important components of any propulsor is the actuator that provides the mode of locom

Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) is a new class of polymeric material exhibiting large strain with inherent soft actuation. The observed motion characteristics of an IPMC subjected to an electric field is highly nonlinear. This is believed to be

In this investigation, ionic polymer metal composites (IPMC) are considered for use as a means of aquatic propulsion. A simple propulsor is constructed to show capabilities of using an IPMC actuator. The thrust produced by the propulsor was recorded

Geometric models are used to simplify the complex, three-dimensional geometry of metal foams for calculations of effective thermal conductivity. The first is based on a conventional three-dimensional cubic lattice and the second is a tetrakaidecahedr

There is currently a need for actuators that will operate in low temperature environments. Ideally, the Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) actuator should be able to operate in a temperature range of 0 to -50 degrees Celsius. IPMC can be a useful s

This paper presents a description of Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMCs) as an attractive solution for cold operation actuators. This is because of their capability for actuation with relatively low voltages (1 to 5 V), durability and capability o

Actuators that can operate within harsh environments, such as that of cold regions or outer space, could be quite useful. We have found that Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMCs) provide an attractive solution for cold operation actuators. This is b
