Our chosen meeting spot was, Coyote Creek at Hellyer County Park, advertised to accept 100 volunteers, and at 9 AM (or thereafter) there were 50 ready to go. Park Ranger Suarez was in charge. They had water, snack bars, pick-up sticks, an assortment of nice new gloves, and some super bags supplied by the Above from left, LORDs Larry, Water District.

J WWW.SJFLIPPERDIPPERS.COM P RESIDENT ’ S C ORNER eptember started off on a sad note when the dive boat SConception caught fire and sank, killing 34 members of the dive community. It reminds us all about how quickly things can go wrong even when we feel that we are in a safe environment. That tragedy, plus the medical emergency that occurred last June on the Yukon, reinforces our need to not become complacent in our sport. We need to keep our gear maintained, watch our dive buddies, keep our training up to date and check the environment that we place ourselves in. When things go wrong they can go wrong very quickly – and you may have less than minutes to react. The Club voted at the September general meeting to send a $600 donation to DAN (Divers Alert Network) in an effort to help the families of the Conception dive boat fire victims. DAN has established a Web page so that others who P.O. Box 7421, San Jose, CA 95150 wish to donate to the families can do so, knowing that 100% of their donations www.SJFlipperDippers.com will go directly to the families in need. As this edition of the newsletter was being produced there has been over $180K donated. If anyone is interested in making a donation there is a link on the Club’s Website.

  • Role of Flexibility in Robotic Fish
    ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY IN ROBOTIC FISH By Sanaz Bazaz Behbahani A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Electrical Engineering — Doctor of Philosophy 2016 ABSTRACT ROLE OF FLEXIBILITY IN ROBOTIC FISH By Sanaz Bazaz Behbahani Underwater creatures, especially fish, have received significant attention over the past several decades because of their fascinating swimming abilities and behaviors, which have inspired en- gineers to develop robots that propel and maneuver like real fish. This dissertation is focused on the role of flexibility in robotic fish performance, including the design, dynamic modeling, and experimental validation of flexible pectoral fins, flexible passive joints for pectoral fins, and fins with actively controlled stiffness. First, the swimming performance and mechanical efficiency of flexible pectoral fins, connected to actuator shafts via rigid links, are studied, where it is found that flexible fins demonstrate advan- tages over rigid fins in speed and efficiency at relatively low fin-beat frequencies, while the rigid fins outperform the flexible fins at higher frequencies. The presented model offers a promising tool for the design of fin flexibility and swimming gait, to achieve speed and efficiency objectives for the robotic fish. The traditional rigid joint for pectoral fins requires different speeds for power and recovery strokes in order to produce net thrust and consequently results in control complexity and low speed performance. To address this issue, a novel flexible passive joint is presented where the fin is restricted to rowing motion during both power and recovery strokes. This joint allows the pectoral fin to sweep back passively during the recovery stroke while it follows the prescribed motion of the actuator during the power stroke, which results in net thrust even under symmetric actuation for power and recovery strokes.
