Stress and vibration analysis of a drone

Abstract

This paper refers to drones. The development of drones has been extremely fast in the last few years. They can be used in many different areas of military or of civil life, for industrial and agricultural purposes. In some fields this unmanned aerial vehicles may open up new horizons. These vehicles can solve a range of problems, in law enforcement contexts. Their two basic functions are flight and navigation. The purpose of this paper is to present this device, to develop a CAD model of it using SolidWorks and to perform FE analysis study. The drone frame was simulated and analysed in various conditions such as lift and vibration.
