The stiffness and natural frequencies for blades, flexbeam, and torque tube of bearingless rotor system are measured to determine the material input properties such as mass distributions and stiffness distribution for the rotor dynamics and load analysis. The flap stiffness, lag stiffness, and torsional stiffness are calculated by measuring section strain or twist angle, gages position, and applied loads through bending and twist tests. The modal tests are undertaken to find out the natural frequencies for flap, lag, torsion modes in non-rotating conditions. The stiffness values and mass properties are tuned and updated to match prediction frequencies to the measured frequencies. The rotorcraft comprehensive code(CAMRAD II) is used to analyze the natural frequencies of the specimens. The analysis results with the updated material properties agree well with the measured frequencies. The updated properties will be used to analyze the rotor stability, dynamic characteristics and loads for the rotor rotation test in a whirl tower.

Toroidally-wound brushless direct-current (BLOC) machines are compact, highly efficient, and can work across a large magnetic gap. For these reasons, they have been used in pumps, flywheel energy storage systems and left ventricular assist devices among others. The common feature of these systems is a spinning rotor supported by a set of (either mechanical or magnetic) bearings. From the view point of dynamics, it is desirable to increase the first critical speed of the rotor so that it can run at a higher operating speed. The first critical speed of the rotor is determined by the radial stiffnesses of the bearings and the rotor mass. The motor also affects the first critical speed if the rotor is displaced from the rotating center. In this paper, we analytically derive the flux density distribution in a toroidally-wound BLOC machine and also derive the negative stiffness of the motor, based on the assumption that the rotor displacement perturbs the flux density distribution linearly. The estimated negative stiffness is validated by finite element analyses.

The aeromechanics predictions of HART I rotor obtained using a computational structural dynamics (CSD) code are evaluated against the wind tunnel test data. The flight regimes include low speed descending flight at an advance ratio of ${\mu}=0.151$ and cruise condition at ${\mu}=0.229$. A lifting-line based unsteady airfoil theory with C81 table look-up is used to calculate the aerodynamic loads acting on the blade. Either rolled-up free wake or multiple-trailer wake with consolidation (MTC) model is employed for the free vortex wake representation. The measured blade properties accomplished recently are used to analyze the rotor for the up-to-date computations. The comparison results on airloads and structural loads of the rotor show good agreements for descent flight and fair for cruise flight condition. It is observed that MTC model generally improves the correlation against the measured data. The structural loads predictions for all measurement locations of HART I rotor are investigated. The dominant harmonic response of the structural loads is clearly captured with MTC model.

This paper discusses a model order reduction for large order rotor dynamics systems results from the finite element discretization. Typical rotor systems consist of a rotor, built-on parts, and a support system, and require prudent consideration in their dynamic analysis models because they include unsymmetric stiffness, localized nonproportional damping and frequency dependent gyroscopic effects. When the finite element model has a very large number of degrees of freedom because of complex geometry, repeated dynamic analyses to investigate the critical speeds, stability, and unbalanced response are computationally very expensive to finish within a practical design cycle. In this paper, the Krylov-based model order reduction via moment matching significantly speeds up the dynamic analyses necessary to check eigenvalues and critical speeds of a Nelson-Vaugh rotor system. With this approach the dynamic simulation is efficiently repeated via a reduced system by changing a running rotational speed because it can be preserved as a parameter in the process of model reduction. The Campbell diagram by the reduced system shows very good agreement with that of the original system. A 3-D finite element model of the Nelson-Vaugh rotor system is taken as a numerical example to demonstrate the advantages of this model reduction for rotor dynamic simulation.

A numerical hydrodynamic performance analysis of the pitch-type multibody wave energy converter (WEC) is carried out based on both linear potential flow theory and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the unidirectional wave condition. In the present study, Salter's duck (rotor) is chosen for the analysis. The basic concept of the WEC rotor, which nods when the pressure-induced motions are in phase, is that it converts the kinetic and potential energies of the wave into rotational mechanical energy with the proper power-take-off system. This energy is converted to useful electric energy. The analysis is carried out using three WEC rotors. A multibody analysis using linear potential flow theory is performed using WAMIT (three-dimensional diffraction/radiation potential analysis program), and a CFD analysis is performed by placing three WEC rotors in a numerical wave tank. In particular, the spacing between the three rotors is set to 0.8, 1, and 1.2 times the rotor width, and the hydrodynamic interaction between adjacent rotors is checked. Finally, it is confirmed that the dynamic performance of the rotors slightly changes, but the difference due to the spacing is not noticeable. In addition, the CFD analysis shows a lateral flow phenomenon that cannot be confirmed by linear potential theory, and it is confirmed that the CFD analysis is necessary for the motion analysis of the rotor.

본 연구에서는 로터 성능 해석을 위한 로터 성능 해석자를 개발하고 이를 사용하여 방풍 구조물 내부의 로터 성능 해석을 수행하였다. 로터 성능 해석자는 깃요소 이론 기반의 actuator disk model을 사용한 해석자를 사용하였다. 또한, 주변의 구조물로 인한 로터 하중의 비대칭성을 고려하기 위해 깃요소 이론에서 블레이드의 flapping 운동에 대한 해석을 수행하여 유효받음각 계산에 적용하였다. 개발된 해석자를 사용하여 바닥면과 벽면에 의한 로터 성능 변화에 관한 연구와 비교 검증을 수행하였다. 방풍 구조물 형상에 따른 로터 성능 해석을 통해 방풍 구조물에 의한 로터 성능 감소 현상을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 방풍 구조물이 없는 경우 대비 95% 이상의 로터 성능 비를 가지는 방풍 구조물의 유출입덕트 면적을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a new attitude stabilization and control of an unmanned helicopter based on neural network compensation. A systematic derivation on the dynamics of an unmanned small-scale helicopter is performed. Combined rotor-fuselage-tail dynamics is derived in body-fixed reference frame with its origin at the C.G. of the helicopter. And the resulting nonlinear equation of motion consists of 6-DOF air vehicle dynamics as well as the rotor flapping and engine torque equations. A simulation model was modified using the existing simulator for an unmanned helicopter dynamic model, which reflects the unmanned test helicopter(CNUHELI). The dynamic response of the refined model was compared with the flight test data. It can be shown that a good coincidence was accomplished between the real unmanned helicopter system and the mathematical model. This dynamic model was linearized for classical controller design using small perturbation method. A Neuro-PD control system was designed for both longitudinal and lateral flight modes, and the results were compared with the PD-only control response. Simulation results show that the proposed Neuro-PD control system demonstrates better performance.

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.

본 연구에서는 한국형기동헬기(KUH) 주로터 블레이드의 축소 설계를 수행하였다. 축소 모델은 공력하중, 익단 와류 및 소음원 측정 시험을 위해 설계되었다. 실제 로터와 동일한 공력 하중을 모사하기 위하여 마하스케일링 기법이 적용되었다. 마하스케일 모델은 블레이드의 익단 마하수가 동일하며, 정규화된 진동수 또한 동일하다. 즉, 마하스케일된 모델은 공력하중 및 구조동역학적 과점에서 상사된 모델이다. 공기역학적 축소과정은 외형 치수의 축소와 회전수의 증가를 통해 완료된다. 구조동역학적 측면에서는 블레이드 단면 설계를 통해 생성된 강성 및 관성 분포가 실제 로터의 회전고유진동수 분포를 나타내는지 확인하는 과정을 통해 완료된다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 수급 가능한 복합재 프리프레그를 이용한 블레이드 단면 설계를 수행하고, 설계된 모델의 동역학적 특성을 고찰하였다.
