Vibrational Analysis of Mini - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles due to Gun Recoil

Article Preview

Abstract:

In 21st century, battlefields are being occupied by Artificial Intelligence (AI) controlled machines and one of its kind is mini-unmanned aerial vehicles. Upon arming the mini-UAVs, the load distribution and characterizing the vibrational behavior are important for its safe operation. Usually, the gun recoil force gets transferred to the platform of the mini-UAV, leading to instability or failure of the platform along with the gun. Mini-UAVs being too small don’t have the space to set the conventional recoil reduction mechanism. So, it is important to design a mechanism or alternative propellant for achieving the equivalent explosive force instead of TNT. Also, the influence of explosion on the vibration characteristics of the mini-UAV is studied. The high-pressure gas is found as the best alternative to TNT material, for reducing the deflection produced. This work primarily concentrates on determining the deflection and frequency induced in mini-UAVs. By using a pressure canister arrangement, the vibration characteristics under recoil can be improved.
