This paper describes the analysis method about the dynamic characteristics and vibratory load through HDS(Helicopter Design Study). To analyze the dynamic characteristics of helicopter rotor blade, the natural frequencies and modes are calculated according to rotor operational speed(Ω). Generally the proximity of rotor natural frequency and N times of rotor operational speed is a dominant component to determine the helicopter vibration. Also we can predict the airframe vibration by calculating the airload of rotating blade exactly. We expect to establish the design procedure of rotor dynamics by describing the two major analysis methods necessary to rotor design.

The number and locations of force generators and their force directions of Active Vibration Control System(AVCS) are important to maximize the airframe vibration reduction performance of helicopters. The present AVCS simulation using an exhaustive test method attempts to determine the best number and locations of force generators and their force directions for maximization of the airframe vibration reduction performance of UH-60A helicopter at 158 knots. The 4P hub vibratory loads of the UH-60A helicopter are calculated using DYMORE II, a nonlinear multibody dynamics analysis code, and MSC.NASTRAN is used to predict the vibration responses of the UH-60A airframe. The AVCS framework with an exhaustive test method is constructed using MATLAB Simulink. As a result, when applying AVCS with the optimal combination of the force generators, the 4P airframe vibration responses of UH-60A helicopter are reduced by from 19.35% to 98.07% compared to the baseline results without AVCS.

The vibration and noise reduction issue is very important in helicopter since the thrust and flight control force of helicopter are generated by rotating drive system. In past, there was a passive method to reduce vibration and noise to focus on specified frequency. Now, there are various active method to reduce vibration and noise due to technology development. This paper describes the worldwide technology trend of vibration and noise active control in helicopter. At introduction, generalmethod of vibration and noise reduction.

This paper described the general dynamic point for rotor design and the design procedure of low vibration blade. Generally, rotor rotating natural frequencies are determined to minimize hub loads, blade vibration and to suppress ground resonance at rotor design stage. First, through rotor frequency diagram, natural frequencies must be far away from resonance point and rotating loads generated from blade can be transformed to non-rotating load to predict fuselage vibration. Vibration level was predicted at each forward flight condition by calculating cockpit's vertical acceleration transferred from non-rotating hub load assuming a fuselage as a rigid body. This design method is applied to design current Next-generation Rotor System Blade(NRSB) and will be applied to New Rotor which will be developed Further.

In this paper, the purpose is to investigate the vibration characteristics and the design of resonance avoidance of the unmanned helicopter master. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory for helicopter master, the equation of motion is derived by using extended Hamilton's principle. It was studied about the natural frequency of helicopter master as the design variances(tip mass, length and diameter of master). Also, it was compared the theoretical results for natural frequency with the results of FE analysis. The results of this study showed the vibration characteristics of helicopter master for the design of resonance avoidance.

카메라 영상을 통하여 무인 헬리콥터 동작을 추정하기 위해 적응형 가중치를 사용한 새로운 Ego-Motion을 검출 기법을 제안하였다. 무인 헬리콥터 동적 특성은 비선형이며, 심한 진동 발생으로 영상 번짐(blur) 현상이 나타나기 때문에 상관 값만을 고려한 정합 방법으로는 빈번히 오차가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 가속도, 각 가속도 및 제어입력 값에 의한 위치 추정 값과 상관 값 및 에지 강도를 가중치에 의해 융합하여 정확한 Ego-Motion을 계산할 수 있는 기법을 제안하였다. 또한 무인 헬리콥터의 가속도, 각 가속도, 상하 속도에 따라서 영상의 번짐 정도가 달라 이들 같이 크면 위치오차에 가중을 크게 주고, 작으면 상관 값에 가중치를 적게 주는 적응형 가중치 결정 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 제안한 적응형 가중치 기법을 무인 헬리콥터에 실험한 결과 카메라에 포착된 영상에 의해 무인헬기의 동작을 정확히 추정 할 수 있었다.

This paper describes a helicopter vibration induced by main rotor in forward flight. The hub loads in the fixed frame, which are dominant source of helicopter vibration, are obtained by multi-blade summation of rotating blades loadings. The components of 3/rev, 4/rev, and 5/rev blades loadings are transmitted by blades to 4/rev hub loads in the fixed frame. The vertical vibrations of helicopter at pilot seat and copilot seat are calculated through rigid body transfer functions considering airframe to be rigid body. The blades are assumed to be elastic and undergo the flap, lag, and torsion motion and free wake aerodynamic model is used to calculate the precise blade loadings in the analysis. The 4/rev vertical vibration responses are analyzed from rotating blade loadings and fixed hub loadings.
