Nonlinear Modeling and Control Design of Active Helicopter Blades
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the theoretical basis for the simulation of active helicopter blades. The analysis of active helicopter blades is based on models for the structure, aerodynamics, actuation and sensing. For simulation and analysis purposes, the blade structural model is discretized in space using a Galerkin approach. The effect of the integral actuation enters the beam model via an active beam cross-sectional analysis. A 2-D incompressible, inviscid, quasi-steady aerodynamic model is coupled to the active structural model. The resulting nonlinear model of high order is reduced using the aeroelastic modes of the blade. Finally, a nonlinear controller is obtained by cancelling the nonlinearities and applying an energy optimal LQR design to the resulting linear plant.

متن کاملCoupled Flap-Lag-Torsional Vibration Analysis of Pre-twisted Non-uniform Helicopter Blades
An approximate numerical mthod is presented for analysis and determination of modal characteristics in straight, pretwisted non-unifom helicopter blades. The analysis considers the coupled flapwise bending (out of plane), chordwise bending (in plane), and torsion vibration of both rotating and non-rotating blades. The proposed method is based on the integral expansion of Green functions (struct...
