Research of the single‐rotor UAV gimbal vibration test

Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the phenomenon of UAV attitude instability caused by large vibrations affecting single‐rotor UAV airborne equipment. Appropriate measurement points were selected to collect vibration signals from the unmanned aerial platform during takeoff and flight of the drone. The time‐domain response and power spectral density of the unmanned aerial platform were then obtained. Establish a dynamic model of the vibration reduction system for an unmanned aerial platform and design a two‐stage vibration reduction structure for the unmanned aerial platform. Through field flight tests of unmanned aerial vehicles, it has been demonstrated that the maximum time domain response of the platform after vibration reduction is 8.75 g (less than 50 g), and the maximum root mean square value of the power spectral density (PSD) is 1.82 g (less than 3 g). The designed secondary vibration reduction structure can serve as a reference for the design of vibration reduction in unmanned aerial vehicles.
