Viscoelastic Damping Treatment Analysis and Aeroelasticity for Vibration Reductions of a Hingeless Composite Helicopter Rotor System
무힌지 복합재 헬리콥터 로터 시스템의 진동 저감을 위한 점탄성 감쇠처리 해석 및 공탄성 연구
Abstract
In this research, vibration reduction and aeroelastic stability of a composite hingeless rotor hub flexure with viscoelastic constrained layer damping treatment(CLDT) were investigated. The composite flexures with viscoelastic CLDT were applied to hingeless rotor system to improve the in-plane stability of the lead-lag motion causing resonance. The modal test was performed and dynamic properties(natural frequency and loss factor) were acquired. Also, complex eigenvalue analysis(SOLlO7) in the NASTRAN structural analysis module was performed and compared with results of the modal test. To insure aeroelastic stability, damping ratio analyses of the hingeless rotor system with CLDT were accomplished at hovering condition due to collective pitch angle changes. Satisfactory results of increasing structural damping and stability were obtained.
