Classification of defects in honeycomb composite structure of helicopter rotor blades
The use of non-destructive testing methods to qualify the state of rotor blades with respect to their expected flight hours, with the aim to extend their lifetime without any risk of breakdown, is an important financial demand. In order to detect the possible defects in the composite structure of Mi-8 and Mi-24 type helicopter rotor blades used by the Hungarian Army, we have performed combined ...
متن کاملUltrasonic Shear Wave Anti-Icing System for Helicopter Rotor Blades
A new conceptual non-thermal anti-icing system for helicopter rotor blades is introduced. Theoretical calculations predict that certain ultrasonic modes generated by horizontal shear waves produce sufficient interface stresses between a host structure and ice to remove the accreted ice layer. Experimentally obtained ultrasonic shear dispersion curves are compared to theoretical predictions for ...
متن کاملActive Helicopter Rotor Control Using Blade-Mounted Actuators
An aeroelastic model of a smart rotor system (which incorporates blade-mounted trailing-edge flap actuators and conventional root pitch actuation) is presented in linear time invariant state space form. The servo-flap deflections are modeled as producing incremental lift and moment variations, so that any linear aerodynamic actuator can be evaluated. This smart rotor model is used to conduct pa...
متن کاملA Dynamics Model of Rotor Blades for Real-time Helicopter Simulation
We present a dynamics model of rotor blades for real-time helicopter simulation. Collisions between the air flow and the moving blades make helicopters fly. In aerodynamics, or even in computer simulations, they precisely analyzed the collisions between the fluid(air) and the solid object(blades), and calculated the differential equations from the collisions. Thus, it was hard for them to gener...
متن کاملA Review of Sparsity-Based Methods for Analysing Radar Returns from Helicopter Rotor Blades
Radar imaging of rotating blade-like objects, such as helicopter rotors, using narrowband radar has lately been of significant interest; these objects cannot be adequately described by the classic point-scatterer model. Recently, a novel ‘tilted-wire’ scatterer model has been developed that can provide an accurate and sparse representation of radar returns from such objects. Following a literat...
