Mechanism properties of a bird-neck bionic rigid-flexible structure.

ABSTRACT: By the biological construction of a bird neck, a bionic bird-neck multilevel rigid-flexible structure is proposed and some biometric properties are explained. The proposed structure can flexibly deform in six directions, which inspires the study of its mechanical properties for flexible deformations. First, the structural configuration and composition are determined based on the study of the anatomical characteristics of the woodpeckers. Since the skeletons and muscles have very different values for the elasticity modulus and the deformation is mostly dependent on the muscle tension, the bionic structure consists of rigid units and bio-syncretic components. For combined deformations, the mechanical model is established by the connectivity matrix to describe the connection of each level. Se
