The unfolding of the wing
Rotation of the wing from the fixed point of the muscle
Looking at the 3 dimensional spatial movement of the wings as the insect is in flight
Looking at the overlaping of the wings as the insect is in flight
1.
Primary Structural System
Main grid system (Vein) movement
Vein section
Vein connection
Movement
The vein system folds while the wing moves.
Function transmitting fluid, oxygen, and sensory information Connection The “V� like vein is connected to the wing with a tube shape connection
2.
Secondary Structural System
Spring like quality to this system
Expanded system
System in compression
Movement: The straw like ribbed system compresses while the wing moves.
Expanded system
System in compression
Function: This system connects the primary system and allows the hind wing to be folded. Connections: The connection between the primary and secondary
Connection detail between primary and secondary system
The system locks itself from moving further up
System expanded
System rotating from the primary vein
3.
Tertiary Structural System
Micro Structure within the wing membrane
Established Rules from wing studies: 1) Rotation around a fixed point 2) Compression and expansion qualities 3) Overall flexibilty Micro Structure within the wing membrane
Extracting the system
