Design and Analysis of the Attitude Adjustment Mechanism for a Rotor MAV Based on Compliant Mechanisms

Traditional swash plates generally have numerous parts, which may result in the abrasion of key parts. In this paper, to avoid problems traditional plates, a low-cost and high-reliability rotor micro-aerial vehicle integrated attitude-adjustment mechanism (IAAM) is designed based on compliant theory. The composed series curved connecting convex plates. context, relationship loads deformations cantilever plate analytically determined. Meanwhile, geometrical parameters IAAM are optimized minimum mass by genetic algorithm. performance verified finite element analysis. Modal static analyses performed ensure that meets requirements flight process aircraft. attitude adjustment reduces complexity structure installation improves structural reliability. Furthermore, can be 3D printed, thus reducing production costs improving efficiency.
