On the free-vibration of rotating composite beams using a higher-order shear formulation

The free vibration behavior of rotating blades modeled as laminated composite, hollow (single celled) boxed beams is investigated. To this end, geometrically nonlinear structural model incorporating a number of non- classical effects such as anisotropy, heterogeneity, transverse shear flexibility, and warping inhibition is developed. Centrifugal and Coriolis force field effects are also considered in the formulation. However, Coriolis effect is discarded during the solution process. It is assumed that in-plane cross-sectional distortion is negligible. In contrast to the existing structural blade models, the traction free boundary conditions on the external surfaces of the beam are identically satisfied. The linearized dynamical equations and numerical results addressing the problem of the free vibration are supplied. Results obtained for the present higher-order shearable model are compared with those of the existing first-order shearable and the non-shearable structural models. Tailoring studies using the present model reveal an enhancement of eigenfrequency characteristics.

Quality analysis of nonlinear elasticity theory for the stability problems of planar laminated curved beams. Problem statement

The one-dimensional equations that describe the geometrically nonlinear deformation with arbitrary displacements and small strains are constructed for the planar laminated curved beams based on the Timoshenko model taking into account transverse compression. The equations are based on the relations of the classical nonlinear theory of elasticity for the case of realizing plane stressed state in a beam and also on the similar relations previously proposed in the consistent variant. Based on the equations constructed, we form the linearized equations of the neutral equilibrium of beams that enables investigating all possible buckling modes under the action of conservative forces and a stationary temperature field.     

Aeroelastic analysis and structural parametric design of composite rotor blade

Based on FEM theory, a method of dynamic analysis for hingeless rotors considering anisotropic composite materials is established. A parametric modeling method of composite blade with typical profile and high simulation degree for design is proposed. Through the finite element method, the profile characteristics of rotor blade can be obtained efficiently and accurately, and the synchronization of parametric design and finite element analysis of structural characteristics can be realized. Then a 23-degrees of freedom non-linear beam element is used to simulate the extended one-dimensional beam, thereby a non-linear differential equation describing the elastic motion of the rotor is established. To obtain the cross-sectional target characteristics of the blades, an inverse design method is proposed for cross-section components based on combinatorial optimization algorithm. The calculation and validation work show that the proposed model can effectively analyze the aeroelastic characteristics of general composite rotors. Further, the influence of cross-sectional parameters on the aeroelastic stability and hub loads of hingeless rotor is analyzed and some remarkable conclusions are obtained.

Forced aeroelastic oscillations of a rotating anisotropic helicopter main rotor blade at hovering

Aeroelastic oscillations of a rotating blade as a thin-walled beam with restrained strains of bending, transverse shear, and torsion are considered. Aerodynamic loads on the blade performing the forced harmonic oscillations at helicopter hovering are determined according to the nonstationary theory of a two-dimensional flow past blade cross-sections without taking into account the vortex wake of other main rotor blades. The influence of blade anisotropy on its dynamic and propulsive characteristics is estimated in the case of prescribed variation of the root section angle of twist.     

Adaptive Blade Twist – calculations and experimental results

Applying adaptronics to helicopters has a high potential to significantly suppress noise, reduce vibration, and increase the overall aerodynamic efficiency. This paper presents recent investigations on a very promising specific concept described as Adaptive Blade Twist (ABT). This concept allows us to directly control the twist of the helicopter blades by smart adaptive elements. This influences positively the main rotor area which is the primary source for helicopter noise and vibration. Since the interaction of non-stationary helicopter aerodynamics and elastomechanical structural characteristics of the helicopter blades causes flight envelope limitations, vibration and noise, a good comprehension of the aerodynamics is essential for the development of structural solutions to effectively influence the local airflow conditions and finally develop the structural concept. With respect to these considerations, the ABT concept will be presented.This concept is based on the actively controlled tension-torsion-coupling of the structure. For this, an actuator is integrated within a helicopter blade that is made of an anisotropic material based on fiber composites. Driving the actuator results in a local twist of the blade tip in such a way that the blade can be considered as a torsional actuator. Influencing the blade twist distribution finally results in a higher aerodynamic efficiency.The paper starts at giving a review on conventional concepts and potential adaptive solutions for shape control. After, some calculations of the adaptive twist control concept are presented. These are based on a representative model in which the active part of the rotor blade is simplified with a thin-walled rectangular beam, that is structurally equivalent to a model rotor blade of the Bo105 with a scaling factor 2.54. The calculations are performed using an expanded Wlassow theory. The results are valid for static and dynamic conditions. For the dynamic condition excessive deformations near the blade resonance frequency shall be utilised. Therefore, the actuated blade section has to be properly designed for this precondition. This has been demonstrated and verified in experiments, which will not be discussed in this paper.For experimental investigations on the ABT concept the skin of the outer part of the model rotor blade was manufactured of fibre composite material using the above mentioned tension-torsion-coupling effect with an additional uncoupling layer between skin and spar. The experimental results have shown that near to the resonance frequency dynamic forces of 550±550 N are required for a deformation of ± 3 degrees at the blade tip.

Parametric instability of twisted cross-ply laminated panels

The present paper deals with the study of the vibration, buckling and parametric instability characteristics of general laminated cross-ply pre-twisted cantilever flat and curved panels. The effects of angles of pre-twist, aspect ratio, static load factor, and the lamination parameters of the cross-ply twisted curved panels on the principal instability regions are studied using Bolotin?s approach. An eight-noded isoparametric quadratic shell element with five degrees of freedom per node is used to develop the finite element procedure. The first order shear deformation theory is used to model the twisted cross-ply curved panels considering the effects of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia. The linear part of the strain is used to derive the elastic stiffness matrix and the non-linear part of the strain is used to derive the geometric stiffness matrix. The global matrices are obtained by assembling the corresponding element matrices using skyline technique. Subspace iteration method is used throughout to solve the eigenvalue problem. Reduced integration technique is adopted in order to avoid possible shear locking. Based on the parametric studies, it is found that the instability behavior of twisted cross-ply cantilever panels is greatly influenced by the geometry, material, angle of twist and lamination parameters. So, this can be used to advantage in tailoring during design of crossply twisted cantilever panels.
