Abstract

As the development and applications of UAV is been increasing significantly in various fields. The main focus is towards the design and structural analysis of the UAV. As the initial step of initialization of any UAV prior condition is to design.

The structural analysis of a UAV frame is important since it has to withstand the forces due to aerodynamic and gravitational forces due to the mounted weights. As design optimisation plays an important role for an efficient structure, a finite element analysis provides an efficient methodology to meet the desired objectives related to structural elements. This project mainly focuses on the structural loads and vibrations acting on the arms of multirotor UAV.

Finite element analysis is been carried out on the arms of multirotor UAV to understand the structural loads acting on the arms of the UAV. A small deformation occurred on the arms are safe and within the limit. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the strength and durability of UAV arms during the in-flight conditions through the analysis.
