Reliability Analysis, Design Improvements and Maintenance Procedure Compilation of a Novel Remotely Piloted Helicopter

In the present paper, a complete process from reliability evaluation to design modification is proposed and also applied to a newly designed and manufactured Remotely Piloted Helicopter (RPH) by the authors. First of all, a description of all platform subsystems is presented. After that, function diagram and also product tree of the whole system is depicted for further analysis. Then, the relia...

Benchmark model of Quanser’s 3 DOF Helicopter

This paper proposes a software benchmark tool for the Quanser “3 DOF Helicopter” in the Mathworks Simscape environment, based on a multi-body model of the experimental setup. The proposed benchmark tool takes into account a number of implementation features of the experimental setup and aims at providing a tool for simulative validation and performance analysis of control strategies. Along with...

Modal Analysis Turboshaft Test Stand Motor Designed by Using ANSYS

Today, modeling is critical for cognition and analysis of designers in industry field to meet their needs and design based on design requirements and available facilities to accelerate production and development of components of industrial engines. In this study, one structure has been proposed, designed, and analyzed based on turboshaft marine engine type to test this kind of engine in order t...

A 6 DoF Visual Tracking System for a Miniature Helicopter

This paper presents a low-cost 6 Degrees-of-Freedom (6 DoF) visual tracking technique and its system for a small indoor rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using three onboard LEDs and a single on-ground camera. The ellipse formed by the cyan LEDs on the blades and the red LED in the captured image are utilised for pose estimation. The developed system successfully implements the proposed...
