Abstract
The payload design was focusing entirely on making it easy to install based on the given circumstances. The analysis was done to ensure that the drone frame can withstand the weight of the payload, with the structure designed to be as light as possible, while maintaining the strength to carry the load. Therefore, it is needed to determine whether the drone can hold on while having the payload with the given weight. The payload design needs to be easily secured on to the drone while being able to fit in all the necessary equipment for the air quality measurement system. Numerical Method is used to design and analyze using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method for drone frame and the payload mount. The FEA method showed the amount of stress and strains on the critical part of the body frame, and it also provides the displacement result of the analysis when the payload is secured onto the drone frame. Based on the results, the study shows that the amount of stress and strain put on the mounting is within the tolerable limits at a maximum value of 4.086e+06 and 6.153e-04 for both stress and strain, respectively. ? 2024 Author(s).
