TitleAeroelastic Analysis of Rotor Blades Using Nonlinear Fluid/Structure Coupling
Year1996
JournalAmerican Helicopter Society
Volume2
Pages1407-1424
AbstractAeroelastic stability analysis of rotorcraft requires accurate loads and structural dynamic analysis. Research and development efforts indicate that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes can provide more accurate loads prediction. In this paper, aeroelastic analysis of rotor blades was carried out by computational coupling between a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) program and a computational structural dynamics (CSD) program. Time response aeroelastic blade deformation was used to obtain damping information.
