Abstract

The lightweight fuselage construction of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are often utilized in the military, agricultural, and other sectors, is a crucial element in enhancing their durability. First, the fuselage structure of a small four-wing UAV for aerial photography is designed. Then, using the SolidWorks program to create the 3D model of the fuselage structure and the Inspire software to do the variable density topology optimization, the optimized model’s mass is reduced by 51.5%. In the end, the static and dynamic properties of the model before and after optimization are compared after being static and dynamically analyzed using the ANSYS finite element analysis software. The results demonstrate that the optimized model’s strength and stiffness are within the permissible stress range and that it does not exhibit resonance phenomena in a limited operating condition, proving the viability of optimization.
