Asst. Prof. Ahmad Reshad NOORI, Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering at Istanbul Gelisim University, has co-authored a scientific article titled “Free Vibration Analysis of the Main Body Part of a Hexacopter Drone Using the Three-Dimensional Finite Element Method.”
The study focuses on the structural performance of hexacopter drones, widely used in sectors such as agriculture, logistics, mapping, defense, and photography. Using the finite element method, the research examines how different cavity geometries (circular, square, rectangular, and hexagonal) and materials (steel, PLA, and carbon fiber) influence the free vibration characteristics of the drone’s main fuselage structure.
The analysis employed three-dimensional, 10-node tetrahedral elements to determine the displacement amplitudes and natural frequencies of the first seven vibration modes. The findings indicate that both the cavity geometry and material type significantly affect the natural frequencies and dynamic response of the structure.
We congratulate Asst. Prof. Ahmad Reshad NOORI on this valuable contribution to drone structural design and wish him continued success in his academic endeavors.
