Abstract

Drone noise is a topic of increased interest in the aeroacoustics community. Typical experimental investigations apply microphone measurements to study the aeroacoustic characteristics of drone propulsion systems, often overlooking vibration-induced effects. This investigation applies rectilinear and torsional experimental modal analysis techniques to investigate a drone propulsion system. Rectilinear excitation is carried out using a traditional electrodynamic shaker, while the brushless DC motor of the propulsion system is utilized for the torsional excitation. The structure's response is recorded using a high-speed camera and analyzed with magnification algorithms. The goal of the investigation is to apply well-established experimental modal analysis methods to the new application area of drone propulsion systems to help separate vibration-induced noise sources from aerodynamically induced ones.
