Aeroelastic Analysis of a Hingeless Rotor Blade in Forward Flight

The aeroelastic response and stability of isotropic and composite rotor blades re investigated using a large diflection-type beam theory. The finite element equations of motion for beams undergoing arbitrary large displacements and rotations, but small strains, are obtained from Hamilton's prin...

Description
Summary:The aeroelastic response and stability of isotropic and composite rotor blades re investigated using a large diflection-type beam theory. The finite element equations of motion for beams undergoing arbitrary large displacements and rotations, but small strains, are obtained from Hamilton's principle. The sectional elastic constants of a composite box beam including warping deformations are determined from the refined cross-sectional finite element method.
