Abstract
A quadcopter is a widely used type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) due to its simple structure and vertical take-off and landing capability. The material and geometrical properties, affect significantly the performance of a quadcopter flight. This paper deals with the material optimization of quadcopter’s body frame, through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). A 3-D CAD model of quadcopter body frame has been designed analyzed using FEA. The Quadcopter body frame was analyzed for three different materials to find out the best suited materials namely, copper alloy, aluminium, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) to find out the best suited material for heavy transportation application. The vibrational frequencies are evaluated based on the modal analysis. In addition, the static structural analysis has been performed to determine the maximum stress and strain developed in the frame under static loading condition.
