Kim Now the complete equations of motion for the segmented IPMC actuator can be written as MỀ E K Bu BBZ e- e e e e u Z AZ BV z v Defining the state vector x ệe ệe Z T then the state variable representation of the system becomes x f x g x V where f x g x _1 - M E 0 0 B v _ e K m 1 bbz e e e u AZ z Equation can be used for designing control laws for the segmented IPMC strip for various applications. Note that extra state variables must be defined for the viscoelastic property of the IPMC expressed as E or h s in Eq. for the state variable of Eq. . Computer Simulation Computer simulation was performed for Eq. for n 3 for different magnitudes of input voltage in each element. Table shows the simulation and material parameters used in this computational study. Figures and and show the large deflection simulation of the segmented IPMC for the step input voltage of V 3 3 3 Tvolt and V -3 2 3 T respectively. In this simulation the viscoelastic property of the IPMC is ignored . E E or h s 0. Dynamic Modeling of Segmented IPMC Actuator 275 Table .

Deflection of IPMC under V -3 2 3f Volt Conclusions In this study we described the analytical framework for deriving the dynamic model of the segmented IPMC. For the electromechanical property of the IPMC a simple RC model is used and the finite-element approach is used for dynamic modeling of the mechanical portion of the segmented IPMC. The proposed modeling approach can be used for designing various controllers .
