dc.description.abstractThis study focuses on the analysis and optimization of a drone frame design to enhance its performance characteristics. The design underwent drop testing, stress analysis, displacement analysis, and flow simulation to evaluate its structural integrity, deformation resistance, and aerodynamic performance. Furthermore, topology optimization techniques were employed to achieve a 30% weight reduction while maintaining the structural integrity of the drone frame. The results of the drop test analysis revealed that Design 2 exhibited lower stress levels compared to Design 1, indicating improved load distribution and structural integrity. However, Design 1 demonstrated lower displacement values, suggesting better resistance to deformation. The flow analysis indicated that Design 1 achieved lower flow velocities, indicating superior propulsion and aerodynamic performance. Through topology optimization, the mass of the drone frame was successfully reduced by 30% without compromising structural integrity. The optimized design exhibited improved stress management, reduced displacement, and slightly higher flow velocities compared to the initial design. These improvements contribute to enhanced agility, maneuverability, and energy efficiency of the drone. The findings of this study highlight the importance of considering stress distribution, displacement, and aerodynamic performance in drone design and optimization. The results provide valuable insights for the development of efficient and reliable drones.
