Development and characterization of the ionic polymer metal composite actuated contractile water jet thruster
Abstract
Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) is a type of smart material that can be utilizedas the actuator for contractile water jet thruster (CWJT) which is an alternative thrusterfor autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The advantages of IPMC actuator arelight, flexible, able to be utilized underwater and consuming low voltage. However,IPMC low actuation force has limited the thrust generation. Hence, this research hadbeen conducted to investigate the character of the fluid flow generated by the IPMCactuation on the CWJT. This investigation includes the observation on the relation offew factors that influence the thrust generation such as the nozzle aperture size, supplyvoltage for IPMC actuation and actuation frequency. This research consists ofdesigning the conceptual prototype thruster, fabricating and characterizing the IPMCactuator, simulating the fluid flow of the prototype design and few experiments fordata validation. The results and validation from the experiments showed that nozzleaperture size and actuation frequency of the IPMC actuator were influential factors inthe development of IPMC actuated CWJT. The feasible actuation frequency was 0.1Hz. Any higher frequency than 0.1 Hz would decline the CWJT contractionperformance. The maximum thrust achieved in this research was 4.52 mN at 6 Vsupply. It is not feasible for heavy and more than 1 m long AUV. However, it suits forsmall or micro AUV that works in low current waters.
