Abstract

This paper presents the results of the structural analysis and optimal design of frames of the UUV(Unmanned Underwater vehicle) to be operated at 6000m depth in the ocean. The structure of the UUV system can be classified into two structure, Launcher ana ROV. Frame of the launcher will be made by Galvanized Steel which has high strength and corrosion-resistant but this material has high specific gravity for tile object to be weight in the water Similarly, ROV will be made by AI6061-T6, and frame of the ROV will be fix many instruments and syntactic buoyancy materials. Before fabrication of tile frame, we performed sensitivity analysis - change in weight due to $\pm1\%$ change in design variables, for easy choice by change of dimension of the frame.
