Abstract: Vibrations in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) significantly impact flight stability, sensor accuracy, and structural integrity. Common sources of these vibrations include propeller rotation, motor dynamics, and aerodynamic forces. Mitigating these vibrations is essential for enhancing UAV performance and operational durability. This article explores theoretical and experimental vibration analysis techniques, such as frequency analysis, modal analysis, and finite element analysis (FEA), to understand and control vibration dynamics. Vibration reduction strategies encompass structural optimization, flight control systems, and isolation systems, all aimed at improving stability and durability. By accurately identifying vibration sources and effects and implementing effective engineering solutions, UAVs can achieve higher performance, extended operational life, and greater precision, enabling broader applications in industries requiring high stability. In conclusion, vibration reduction is not only crucial for performance enhancement but also for ensuring the reliable use of UAV technology in challenging environments.
