Response of Rotor Blades to Random Loads under Forward Flight Conditions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
This paper contains results for the response of a helicopter rotor blade under stationary random excitation when the helicopter is in forward flight. The blade model takes into account the bending and torsional modes as well as the root-rigidity conditions. The resulting linear dynamical system equations with periodic coefficients are treated within the framework of the filtering theory to yield matrix ordinary differential equations for the required response-statistics themselves.
