About the Project

This final year project focuses on fatigue life assessment of GFRP composite laminates used in small UAV structures. The work considers fatigue behavior, operational loading conditions, and critical structural regions using experimental data, analytical methods, and finite element analysis.

My Contribution

I am contributing to the fatigue assessment workflow, including research on GFRP fatigue behavior, analysis of representative loading conditions, and development of design and inspection recommendations to improve the durability and airworthiness of composite UAV structures.
