The one way fluid structure interaction analysis on advanced propeller blade for next generation turboprop aircraft. HS1 airfoil series are selected as a advanced propeller blade airfoil. Adkins method is used for aerodynamic design and performance analysis with respect to the design point. Adkins method is based on the vortex-blade element theory which design the propeller to satisfy the condition for minimum energy loss. propeller geometry is generated by varying chord length and pitch angle at design point. Blade sweep is designed based on the design mach number and target propulsion efficiency. The aerodynamic characteristics of the designed Advanced propeller were verified by CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamic) and showed the enhanced performance than the conventional propeller. The skin-foam sandwich structural type is adopted for blade. The high stiffness, strength carbon/epoxy composite material is used for the skin and PMI(Polymethacrylimide) is used for the foam. Aerodynamic load is calculated by computational fluid dynamics. Linear static stress analysis is performed by finite element analysis code MSC.NASTRAN in order to investigate the structural safety. The result of structural analysis showed that the design has sufficient structural safety. It was concluded that structural safety assessment should incorporate the off-design points.

깃끝단 후퇴각을 가지는 현대 터보프롭 항공기의 최신 프로펠러는 고속으로 비행할 수 있는 추력을 얻기 위해 구조적으로 높은 강도가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 프로펠러 구조 설계 시 고강도 및 고강성의 특성을 지닌 카본/에폭시 복합재료가 적용되었으며, 경량화를 위하여 스킨-스파-폼 샌드위치 구조 형태를 채택하였다. 구조 설계를 위한 구조 하중은 블레이드에 작용하는 공력하중을 분석하여 결정하였으며, 스파 플렌지는 굽힘 하중을 담당하고 스킨은 전단 하중을 담당하도록 복합재료 설계 개념을 반영하였다. 구조 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 상용 유한 요소 해석 코드인 나스트란을 활용하여 구조 해석을 수행하였다. 시제품 블레이드의 구조 시험을 통하여 적용된 구조설계 방법론이 적절함을 확인하였다.

In this study, axial vibration analysis has been conducted on a propulsion and lift shafting system for an air cushion vehicle using ANSYS code. The shafting system is totally flexible multi-elements system including wood composite material of air propeller. aluminum alloy of lift fan and thin walled shaft with flexible coupling. The analysis calculated the axial natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shafting system taking into account an equivalent mass-elastic model for shafting system as well as the three-dimensional models for propeller blade and fan impeller. Such a flexible shafting system has very intricate vibrating characteristics and especially, axial natural frequencies of flexible components such as propeller blade and impeller of lift fan can be lower to the extent that causes a resonance in the range of operating revolution. The results for axial vibration analysis are presented and compared with the results of axial vibration test for lift fan conducted during Sea Trial.
