Modelling and Analysis of Multicopter Frame and Propeller

Abstract

Man with the advancement of technology invented various UAV's and flying machines. These can be used for various purposes. Most of them are extensively used for defense purposes and the rest are used even in domestic purposes. A Quadrocopter, commonly called as Quadrotor, is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) which was propelled and lifted by four rotors. Battery was used as a power source to run the motors, thereby propellers. Modeling and Analyzing are the two important unavoidable steps in manufacturing any component or structure. In this paper we were concentrating on design and analysis of a Quadrocopter frame and propeller. The modeling was carried out using advanced software, named PRO-E while the analysis of components was done using ANSYS 13.0 version. The results obtained were compared with the various properties of frame materials which tell us whether the design made was safe or not.

Design Optimisation and Analysis of a Quadrotor Arm Using Finite Element Method

“…The objective of employing RSM is to investigate the changes in output parameters with variations in input parameters. Although literature is available related to structural analysis of quad rotor frames [6], design optimization has not been studied in detail. In this context, the present study will focus on the following objectives.…”
