Abstract

An unmanned aircraft (UAV) is an aircraft that does not require a crew on board in its operation. This type of aircraft is widely used as a remote monitoring tool such as monitoring disaster sites, monitoring plantation areas, monitoring forests to monitoring enemy areas carried out by the military. For this reason, a study of the adhesive strength required in the connection of unmanned aircraft is needed, such as ribs, spars, skins. From the results of this study, it was found that the mechanical strength of epoxy adhesives depends on several factors such as manufacturer, epoxy content, and operating temperature. The hypothesis of the strength of the epoxy experiment results used by Pustekbang LAPAN ranged from 2,400.4 + 190.6 to 9,664.2 + 1,769.6 psi at room temperature.

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental examination of how unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airframe materials affect the electromagnetic characteristics of the airborne circularly polarized (CP) payload antenna. This study specifically investigates the received signal from the circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar (CP-SAR) antenna installed within the fuselage of the lapan surveillance UAV (LSU). In the airborne CP-SAR experiment, broadband CP microstrip subarray antennas were used along with LSU series airframe material composites comprising E-glass EW-185 and Carbon C522 Twill. The composite specimens were prepared to have the same size and thickness to minimize variability in the comparative analysis. The experimental study measures the transmission loss using S-parameters. At 5.3 GHz, the E-glass EW-185 fiber composite exhibits a material attenuation of -1.5 dB and a circular depolarization of 0.32 dB. The E-glass EW-185 fiber composite exhibits a material attenuation of -1.5 dB and a circular depolarization of 0.32 dB. In contrast, the Carbon C522 Twill fiber composite demonstrates a significantly higher material attenuation of -31.24 dB and a circular depolarization of 10.70 dB. Additionally, this paper examines the radiation pattern measurements of the CP-SAR antenna at various frequencies, providing a comprehensive analysis of the materials' impact on antenna performance.

Abstract

The carbon-vinyl ester composites have made for the development of the base material for Amphibious floats. The properties of this composite have strength, lighter weight and resistant to corrosion. This study was aimed to report the effect of two different water immersion treatment namely seawater and freshwater on the mechanical properties of composite made from fiber twill and vinyl ester resin using the vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) method. Experiments were carried out on tensile, compressive, and shear tests. The specimens were immersed in seawater and freshwater for ten days. The results have shown that Ultimate Tensile Strength of the composite with seawater immersion declined 1.27% compare with the composite without immersion treatment, while the composite in freshwater got greater 3.56%. The decrement of compressive and shear strength was more significant than tensile strength. The compressive strength declined 17.89% and 16.7% for freshwater and seawater treatment, respectively. The shear strength decreased 27.87 % and 25.77% for freshwater and seawater treatment, respectively
