Vibration and Loads in Hingeless Rotors. Volume 1 Theoretical Analyses

摘要

Analytic methods are developed for calculating blade loads and shaft-transmitted vibratory forces in stiff bladed hingeless rotors operating at advance ratios from mu = .3 to mu = 2.0. Calculated shaft harmonic moments compared well with experimental values when the blade first flap frequency was in the region of two-per-revolution harmonic excitation. Calculated blade bending moment azimuthal distributions due to changes in cyclic pitch agreed well with experiment at radial stations near the blade root at values of the ratio of first flap frequency to rotor rotation rate from 1.5 to 5.0. At stations near the blade tip good agreement was only obtained at the higher values of frequency ratio. (Author)
