项目摘要

This research project is concerned with the morphological characteristics, the wing beating behavior, and the aerodynamic characteristics of a flying animal. The wings of the dragonfly, Sympetruin infuscatum, the gadfly, Tabanus rufidens, the fly, Parasarcophaga crassipalpis, and the vinegar fly, Drosophila lutea were observed microscopically making use of the scanning electron microscope. Several cross section of insect costa were observed, and the image processing of the electron micrograph was conducted on a personal computer. It was found that the costa varies in shape and size corresponding to the location of wing. With respect to the structure of the flight feather, the pigeon feathers were observed microscopically using the scanning electron microscope. A three dimensional motion analysis system revealed the wing motion of the flying animal. The experimental system composed of two high speed video cameras, a motion grabber system and a personal computer, analyzed the wing motion in three dimensions. The free flight of theflying animal was analyzed. The relationship between the insect flight and its wing structure was reveald. The free flight behavior of the Java sparrow was clarified, that is, the time variation of the displacement and velocity on the bird's wing was obtained quantitatively. Wing path and flapping of the bird were obtained in three dimensional expression.When the flight feathers of the Java sparrow were exposed in the uniform smooth wind, bending of the flight feather occurs, and bending characteristics of the flight feather showed the anisotropy in the wind direction. Each flight feather has its own bending characteristics.

该研究项目涉及飞行动物的形态特征、振翼行为和空气动力学特征。利用扫描电子显微镜对蜻蜓（Sympetruin infuscatum）、牛虻（Tabanus rufidens）、苍蝇（Parasarcophaga crassipalpis）和醋蝇（Drosophila utea）的翅膀进行显微镜观察。观察了昆虫肋骨的几个横截面，并在个人计算机上对电子显微照片进行了图像处理。研究发现，肋骨的形状和大小随机翼位置的不同而变化。对于飞羽的结构，使用扫描电子显微镜对鸽子羽毛进行了显微观察。三维运动分析系统揭示了飞行动物的翅膀运动。该实验系统由两个高速摄像机、一个运动捕捉系统和一台个人计算机组成，从三个维度分析机翼运动。对飞行动物的自由飞行进行了分析。揭示了昆虫飞行与其翅膀结构之间的关系。阐明了爪哇麻雀的自由飞行行为，即定量获得了鸟翅膀上的位移和速度随时间的变化。三维表达获得鸟的翅膀路径和扑动。当爪哇麻雀的飞羽暴露在均匀光滑的风中时，飞羽发生弯曲，并且飞羽的弯曲特性在风中表现出各向异性方向。每根飞羽都有自己的弯曲特性。
