The simulation employs an unstructured triangular mesh based on finite volume discretization done in the ANSYS-14.0 using WorkBench14.0.Whenever, dragonfly wing interacts with the fluid (air taken), several forces and vibrations results out. These forces and vibrations cause certain changes over the dimensional structure over the wing and also influence the flows characteristics. A critical assessment of the computed results was performed. In this work, various flow patterns and aerodynamic performance of pleated airfoil has been obtained at ultra-low Reynolds numbers (2000-3000) at different angle of attacks (AOA) ranging from 0 0 to15 0. Also there effects on coefficient of Lift and Drag have been analysed. The simulations demonstrate that pleated airfoil produces higher lift and moderate drag that lead to an aerodynamic performance and hence pleated airfoil is an excellent choice for a fixed wing micro-air vehicle application.

Crack is a damage that often occurs on members of structures and may cause serious failures of structures. In this research the natural frequency of a cracked cantilever beam is investigated by finite element method by using of ANSYS program with different crack depth and location effect. The beam material studied is aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, copper alloy and magnesium alloy. A comparison is made between these alloys and conclude optimized result between them. The increase of the beam length result in a decrease in the natural frequencies of the composite beam and also shows that an increase of the depth of cracks lead to a decrease in the value of natural frequencies.

This is particularly due to the real need to weight saving for more reduction of fuel consumption. The typical alloying elements are copper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, and zinc. Surfaces of aluminium alloys have a brilliant lustre in dry environment due to the formation of a shielding
layer of aluminium oxide. Aluminium alloys of the 4xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx series, containing major elemental additives of Mg and Si, are now being used to replace steel panels in various automobile industries. In this work we are interested to investigate the mechanical properties of aluminium alloy by varying the percentage of silicon. The results showed that with the increasing of silicon content the solidification time increased, as also a decreasing the liquids temperature. The tensile strength of aluminium alloy is increased with increased silicon
content up to 6 %.

The copper provides substantial increases in strength and facilitates precipitation hardening. The copper in aluminum can reduce ductility and corrosion resistance. The susceptibility to solidification cracking of aluminum-copper alloys is increased; consequently, some of these alloys can be the most challenging aluminum alloys to weld. These alloys include some of the highest strength heat treatable aluminum alloys. The main uses for aluminium alloy are in internal combustion engines. In this work we are interesting to investigate the mechanical properties of aluminium alloy to vary the percentage of copper. The results showed that with the increasing of copper content the solidification time increased, and increase of both the ultimate tensile strength and the hardness is obtained by the increase of the copper content.

When the wing interact with the air, it is subjected to both aerodynamic forces acting on the surface of the wing and the inertial force due to the acceleration of deceleration of the wing mass. The interaction between these inertial and aerodynamic forces resulted in wing deformation. The dynamics of a pleated insect wing subjected to aerodynamic loading is studied. The vortex induced vibration and forced vibration of a pleated flexible insect wing subjected to aerodynamic load is studied by using ANSYS-14 multi physics solver. The insect wing is of dragonfly wing cross section. In the first phase of the work, fluid flow simulation at Reynolds Number-100, 200,500, and 1000 will be performed with angle of attack 0 to 15. The result from the CFD solver will be fed in the form of lift and drag forces are then fed into the ANSYS Workbench solver and one way Fluid Structure

The practical application of a dragon fly is relatively small, light weight Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). The purpose of this paper is to calculate and analysis of natural frequency of the dragon fly wing. . A dragonfly insect has been chosen because MAV and Dragonfly works almost same Reynolds Number i.e. Re- 102 to 104. Aeshna genus dragon fly can glide up to 30s without any significant loss of altitude (Brodsky 1994). Wakeling and Ellington (1997) found gliding speed of Aeshna cyanea is 2.5ms-1.

The dynamics of a pleated insect wing subjected to aerodynamic loading is studied for different Reynolds Number ranging from 100 to 1000 at different angle of attack ranging from 00 to 150 by using ANSYS-14 multi physics solver. The result from the CFD solver will be fed in the form of lift and drag forces are
