While in operation, the nature of the unsteady aerodynamic environment surrounding the rotor blades gives rise to a significant amount of vibration to the helicopter. In this study, the unsteady forced response of the Bo 105 hingeless helicopter rotor blade is investigated at the forward flight in terms of the coupled flapping, lead-lag, and torsional deformations. The mathematical model for the steady-state response of the rotor blade is modified to include the unsteady airfoil behavior by using the Theodorsen’s lift deficiency function for three degrees of freedom of motion. The nonlinear mathematical model is solved by the generalized method of lines in terms of the time-varying deflections of the rotor blade. The unsteady airloads are found to create larger deformations compared to that of the steady-state condition for a given advance ratio. The azimuth locations of the peak loadings also vary with different degrees of freedom. The first three natural frequencies and mode shapes of the rotor blade are presented. The model for the forced response analysis is validated by finite element results.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126078148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microscale fracture features of the specimen were identified and compared for the pre-overload region, overload region, and post-overload region at two different values of crack lengths, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was observed that the transient region, created by the application of the shear overload, improved the fatigue life of the specimen. The overload also displayed an instant upsurge in the fatigue crack growth rate, which was immediately followed by a sharp crack retardation. The crack growth rate was restored once it came out of the transient zone and traveled a distance equal to the value of recovery distance. Both, the magnitude of the applied shear overload and the location of overload with respect to crack length seemed to affect the size of the transient zone, fatigue life, crack growth rate, and recovery distance. Investigations made on the fracture surfaces revealed that there is no significant change in the microscale fracture features when the overload was applied at different values of crack lengths; however, a clear and significant difference in the fracture features appear when the surfaces of the pre-overload region, overload region, and post-overload region are compared.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116865212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental data was acquired for a Reynolds number of 2.98 × 105 based on the blade chord and the inlet flow conditions. The flow field characteristics in blade passage including 3-D flow velocity and velocity magnitude have been measured by using calibrated five and seven-hole pressure probes connected to ATX sensor module data acquisition system (DAQ). To investigate flow development in the blade passage, velocity coefficient through streamwise planes has been calculated from the measured data. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of the flow field was performed to gain a better understanding of the flow features. Present computational study was first validated with previous experimental and numerical work to check mesh accuracy and give confidence for computational results. Then, two turbulence models, Spalart-Allmaras (S-A) and shear stress transport SST (k-ω) were used for the present work. From both parts of study, the flow field development through the cascade have been investigated and compared. Moreover, the received data demonstrated a good agreement between the experimental and computational results. The predicted flow streamlines by numerical calculations showed regions characterized by flow separation and recirculation zones such as corner separation that could be used to enhance the understanding of the loss mechanism in compressor cascades. All measurements taken by the two probes, 5 and 7-hole pressure probes, have been analyzed and compared. The 5-hole pressure probe measurements have showed more agreements with computational results than 7-hole probe. Furthermore S-A turbulence model calculations showed more consistencies with experimental results than SST (k-ω) model.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121928746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a methodology combines three well-established techniques, namely, the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF), the Axiomatic/Asymptotic Method (AAM), and Artificial Neural Networks (NN). CUF generates structural theories and finite element arrays hierarchically. CUF provides the training set for the NN in which the structural theories are inputs and the natural frequencies targets. AAM evaluates the influence of each generalized displacement variable, and NN provides Best Theory Diagrams (BTD), i.e., curves providing the minimum number of nodal degrees of freedom required to satisfy a given accuracy requirement. The aim is to build BTD with far less computational cost than in previous works. The numerical results consider sandwich spherical shells with soft cores and different features, such as thickness and curvature to investigate their influence on the choice of generalized displacement variables. The numerical results show the importance of third-order generalized displacement variables and prove that the present framework can be of interest to evaluate the performance of any structural theory as typical design parameters change and provide guidelines to the analysts on the most convenient computational model to save computational cost without accuracy penalties.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"11 3-4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114012700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed model is based on an elasto-plastic behavior, with a power law material behaviour and relies on the theory of autofrettaged thick wall cylinders in plane strain state to which reverse yielding is incorporated. The application of Hencky theory of plastic deformation is used in the analytical calculations of the stresses and strains. Finite-element numerical simulation is used to validate the developed analytical model by comparison of the radial, Hoop, longitudinal and equivalent stresses for both the loading and unloading phases.

For this purpose Representative Volume Element (RVE) of the composite material is created using Random Sequential Absorption (RSA) algorithm. Damping property is represented using the wave attenuation coefficient. The matrix material is assumed to be isotropic visco-elastic in nature with randomly dispersed stiff elastic spherical fillers. In order to model mechanical imperfections at the boundary of fillers and matrix, the interphase layer is modeled surrounding the spherical fillers. Determining the thickness and stiffness of this interphase region is a challenging task. Therefore this study aims at investigating the effect of variation in thickness and stiffness values of the interphase region on damping property of whole composite using sensitivity analysis. Two specific cases with a volume fraction of 5 % and 8.6 % are selected for sensitivity analysis. It has been found that both the thickness and stiffness of the interphase region plays an important role in deciding the damping properties of the polymer composite. Value of attenuation coefficient is more sensitive to the thickness of interphase than stiffness and hence it is important to choose the value of thickness correctly for accurate predictions.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123574976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vibration induced by the rotor blade is a significant problem in helicopter performances. Rotor aerodynamic loading, rotor dynamics, and fuselage dynamics are the elements that contribute to the vibration of a helicopter. Among these elements, the key reason for the helicopter vibration is the aerodynamic loading. Determining aerodynamic loading is one of the most important criteria to design a rotor blade and to minimize vibration. Rotor harmonic airloads are generated from the rapid variation of flow around the rotor blade due to the vortex wake. A rapid drop in the circulation near the blade tip causes tip vortices which are the reason for the maximum lift at the tip of the blade. Consequently, tip vortices become the primary source of harmonic airloads. In this study, a specimen of Bo 105 helicopter rotor blade is considered to observe the aerodynamic characteristics under the external flow of air. The coefficients of lift and drag of the specimen for different angles of attack and azimuth angles are estimated. The resonance frequencies and the mode shapes are obtained. Computational results are validated by the experimental analyses of a small-scaled model of the rotor blade. From the study, the coefficient of lift is found to increase with the angle of attack up to a critical value. Similarly, the coefficient of drag increases with the angle of attack. The resonance frequencies significantly change with scaling the rotor blade.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":" 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120831598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scientists all over the world have been constantly trying to study, discover and invent new methods for testing and prevention to reduce future aircraft accidents. One of those methods is non-destructive testing, which is a widely adaptive process for analyzing structural integrity over wide arrays of object. X-rays, ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) are non-destructive testing applications commonly used for the commercial aircraft maintenance. These non-destructive testing methods for aircraft structures give us high-quality images of structural damage but, there are some disadvantages related to resolution and the contrast mechanism of the image. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the concept of X-Ray Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography (XACT) imaging method for defect detection and localization through simulations using k-wave MATLAB toolbox. XACT is a technique based on the X-ray induced acoustic effect. In XACT, a short pulsed of X-rays are required to achieve thermal response and generate acoustic waves. X-ray travels to an object, the photons are absorbed causing the temperature in the object to raise, which generates acoustic waves due to thermoelastic expansion. These acoustic waves are then detected by ultrasonic transducers. Within the fuselage of the aircraft, the aircraft’s stiffener is designed using SolidWorks. along with two different types of defects through voids due to manufacturing imperfection process. As well as, cracks in the surface of the model due to mechanical failures are created in MATLAB. Two properties of Aluminum 6065 and Inconel 625 materials were selected for our simulation study since it is often used for the fuselage and/or aircraft engines. XACT images are generated under the combination of high X-ray absorption and ultrasonic transducers that will be able to overcome the disadvantages of the X-ray imaging technique and ultrasound imaging technique in image resolution and contrast mechanisms. The results from this simulation study demonstrate that the XACT method not only gives us high-resolution images but moreover, higher contrast of images that also allows us to detect position accuracy of the cons created.","PeriodicalId":119220,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Advances in Aerospace Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130539791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
