On wide variety of fields, studies on active twist control are becoming more active. For effective twist control, blades have to have low torsional stresses with high torsional deformations to the same magnitude of torque acting on its cross-section. In this study, 2D sectional analysis and 3D finite element analysis were made for 5 different blades with each having different cross - sections which have different spars. The results from 2D sectional analysis, were then put into 3D blade deformation and stress calculations which lead to analysis. Outcomes from 2D and 3D analysis, showed that on the same torque and concentrated load conditions, the blade with 'C' shaped spar was the best of all the blades which were used in this study.

Closed-loop active twist control of integral helicopter rotor blades is investigated in this paper for reducing hub vibration induced in forward flight. A four-bladed fully articulated integral twist-actuated rotor system has been designed and tested successfully in wind tunnel in open-loop actuation. The integral twist deformation of the blades is generated using active fiber composite actuators embedded in the composite blade construction. An analytical framework is developed to examine integrally twisted helicopter blades and their aeroelastic behavior during different flight conditions. This aeroelastic model stems from a three-dimensional electroelastic beam formulation with geometrical-exactness, and is coupled with finite-state dynamic inflow aerodynamics. A system identification methodology that assumes a linear periodic system is adopted to estimate the harmonic transfer function of the rotor system. A vibration minimizing controller is designed based on this result, which implements a classical disturbance rejection algorithm with some modifications. Using the established analytical framework, the closed-loop controller is numerically simulated and the hub vibratory load reduction capability is demonstrated.

We present a novel method for the stabilization of the Sagnac current sensor with active twist control. The sensor output was improved more than 8 times by employing the proposed stabilization method. Stability within $\pm$1.7% was demonstrated between 36$^{\circ}C$ and 62$^{\circ}C$.

본 논문에서는 비선형적 다물체 시스템의 유한요소 해석프로그램인 DYMORE의 새로운 버전을 이용하여 압전 재료(piezoelectric)를 삽입한 능동 비틀림 로터(Active Twist Rotor)의 개별 블레이드 제어(Individual Blade Control)에 의한 로터 블레이드의 진동 감소 효과를 해석하고 이를 풍동실험 및 이전 버전의 DYMORE 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 로터 허브와 네 개의 블레이드만으로 구성된 단순한 로터시스템과 스워시 판, 피치링크 등을 모두 포함하는 개선된 로터시스템에 대한 해석이 각각 수행되었다. 사용된 실험 결과 자료들은 NASA Langley의 Transonic Dynamics Tunnel(TDT)에서 수행되었던 결과들을 사용하였다. 그 결과 새로운 버전의 DYMORE를 이용한 경우 실험값과는 여전히 차이가 있지만 이전 버전의 DYMORE를 통해 얻어진 수치해석 결과에 비해서 오차가 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 개별 블레이드 제어 방식의 로터 시스템의 모델링을 수행하고 전진 비행 시의 진동 하중 감소 효과를 확인하였다.

능동 비틀림 제어기법을 이용한 복합재료 로터 블레이드의 헬리콥터 진동억제에 대한 수치연구를 수행하였다. 허브에 작용하는 진동하중 억제를 위해 복합재료 블레이드의 탄성 연계와 함께 압전 소재의 전단변형 메커니즘을 이용하였다. 로터 블레이드는 표면에 압전 작동기를 부착한 박벽 상자형 단면을 갖는 복합재료 보로 모델링하였다. 회전익에 대한 지배 운동방정식은 Hamilton 원리를 이용하여 구성하였고, 공력하중은 자유후류모델을 포함하는 비정상 공력 이론을 이용하여 구했다. 다양한 탄성연계 적층과 능동 작동기를 부착한 복합재료 블레이드에 대해 허브진동 하중 특성을 고찰하였다. 수치해석 결과 최적 제어 알고리듬을 적용하여 $N_b$/rev 진동하중을 대폭 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

A novel tri-mode ultraprecision positioning system for machine tools and measuring machine is proposed. The basic coarse mode uses a Twist-roller Friction Drive (abbr. TFD), and controls several tens of millimeters of the machine-table travel with nanometer order of positioning resolution. The fine mode also utilizes the TFD with a fine adjusting mechanism. The resolution of the fine mode is in the range of sub-nanometer. For realizing picometer positioning, the ultra-fine mode is executed by using an active aerostatic guideway. On the bearing surface of this active guideway, several Active Inherent Restrictors (abbr. AIRs) are embedded for controlling the table position. An AIR unit consists of a piezoelectric actuator having a through hole, one end of the hole on the bearing surface acts as an inherent restrictor. Owing to the aerostatic mechanism of the AIR, the deformation of the piezoelectric actuator in the AIR unit causes much reduced table displacement. Such motion reduction is effective for ultraprecision positioning. Current positioning resolution of the ultra-fine mode is 50pm, however the final goal of the positioning resolution is expected to be in the order of picometer.

This paper proposes a dual-mode ultra precision positioning system for machine tools and measuring machines. The objective was to position a machine table with a picometer order of resolution, i.e., pico-positioning. A twist-roller friction drive (TFD) was used in coarse-mode positioning. The TFD, which was driven by an AC servomotor, is a kind of lead screw in mechanical terms, and several centimeters of machine table movement was controlled with a nanometer order of positioning resolution. To eliminate lateral vibration caused by the TFD, an active aerostatic coupling driven by piezoelectric actuators was inserted between the TFD and the machine table. This active aerostatic coupling was also applied as a feed drive device for fine-mode positioning; in the fine mode, the positioning resolution was 50 pm. Factors influencing pico-positioning, such as how noise from displacement sensors and vibrations in the aerostatic guideway affect positioning resolution, are discussed.
