abstract

in the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using aeroelastic frequency response function. the aeroelastic model of blade is obtained by combining dowell - hodges beam model with loewy unsteady aerodynamic theory which considers an unsteady wake beneath the rotor. equations are formed and aeroelastic frequency response functions are obtained by inverting dynamic stiffness matrix of the aeroelastic system. exciting each degree of freedom, system response could be obtained. the resulted response is then plotted for various blade pitch angles and the behaviour of this function investigated to find out the stability criteria and also system natural frequencies. the results of this method are compared with stability boundaries obtained from the conventional p-k method.

Helicopter Blade Stability Analysis Using Aeroelastic Frequency Response Functions

In the present paper, the aeroelastic stability of helicopter rotor blade is determined using Aeroelastic Frequency Response Function. The conventional methods of aeroelastic stability usually use an iterative procedure while the present method does not require such approach. Aeroelastic Frequency Response Functions are obtained by inverting dynamic stiffness matrix of the aeroelastic system. S...

Optimum Design Ofa Helicopter Rotor for Low Vibration Using Aeroelastic Analysis and Response Surface Methods

An aeroelastic analysis based on finite elements in space and time is used to model the helicopter rotor in forward flight. The rotor blade is represented as an elastic cantilever beam undergoing flap and lag bending, elastic torsion and axial deformations. The objective of the improved design is to reduce vibratory loads at the rotor hub that are the main source of helicopter vibration. Constr...

Electrochemically-actuated Morphing Helicopter Blade

The use of the expansion of lithium-ion cells for mechanical actuation has been recently reported by Chin et. al. (1). Under a stress of 10 MPa, actuating strains of up to 1.5% were achieved. Taking into account the cells approximate elastic modulus, this strain corresponds to a mechanical energy density ten times higher than that of current piezoelectric materials, although with slower actuati...

Frequency- and Time-domain Aeroelastic Analysis of Cable- Supported Bridges using Approximated Aerodynamic Transfer Functions

ABSTRACT: An approximate approach for the frequencyand time-domain aeroelastic analysis of bridge decks is presented. The aerodynamic transfer functions are approximated as a linear function with the coefficients determined through minimization of the weighted error between the exact and approximated transfer function. The weighting function in optimization is introduced for the improved approx...
