Functional and Structural Analysis of Wing Folding Mechanism Based on Cockchafer (Melolontha Melolontha)
Insects are among nature’s most nimble flyers. In this paper we present the functional and structural analysis of wing joint mechanism. Detailed action of the axillary plates and their mutual interaction was also described. Because of the small dimensions of the wing joint elements and the limited r...
