Comparative Structural Analysis of Various Composite Materials based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle’s Propeller by using Advanced Methodologies

Abstract In the recent technology over Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), implication of propeller contributes a principal part in production thrust by pushing air with rotating blades. Especially, propeller’s incomparably works perfect advanced UAVs, because its huge contribution to UAV’s construction. Analyzing structural behavior and rotodynamic effects help engineering approaches can provide better performance lifetime operating conditions. The composites CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) GFRP (Glass are widely used for propellers, due advantage load resisting capacity, lightweight, higher production. This work deals comparative studies different such as inculcate characteristics deformation respect applied load, maximum stress, normal stress coupled cum simulations rotational velocities. primary outcome these is providing optimized well ultimate rotor component an UAV. Finally, material optimizations executed using two numerical methodologies that FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) evaluation parameters coupling CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) - MRF (Moving Reference Frame) representation nature propeller. Through grid convergence test, best composite finalized, which GFRP. Epoxy-E-Glass UD Epoxy-S-Glass-UD performed than other materials, wherein Epoxy-E-Glass-UD reacted low deformed value 3.7829?m induced f 55556Pa at average loading
