Design, simulation and optimisation of lattice structures for remote control aeroplane

Abstract

Purpose>Thus, in this work the goal is to design, simulate and optimise a holder of a brushless motor in lattice structure to get the best performance in terms of mechanical strength, vibration absorption and lightness.Design/methodology/approach>Nowadays, most manufacturers and designers' goal are to sell efficient products in mass to keep up or outrun competition. Medical, aeronautical, automobile and civil engineering sectors produce complex parts and products that encompasses multiple properties such as lightweight, energy absorbance, vibration reduction and stress resistant. Studies found that lattice structures are more and more useful in these fields since their characteristics satisfy complex behaviour.Findings>The study's outcome suggests that the use of lattice structure reduces 60% of the actual motor holder mass while keeping the strength of the material, meeting initial specifications.Research limitations/implications>The Ram capacity of the PC.Practical implications>Light materials for aerospace engineering elongate the range of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to an extra range of flight.Social implications>Situation awareness of the country border using surveillance drone and minimising the consumption of fuel.Originality/value>The research allowed reducing 60% the actual holder mass.
