- Abstract
A rotor that can realize individual blade pitch control was designed. This paper focuses on finding the trend of helicopter vibration loads after applying multiple high-order harmonic control. The Glauert inflow model was introduced to calculate the induced velocity of rotor blades in a rotor disk plane, and the Leishman Beddoes (L-B) unsteady dynamic model was employed to calculate the aerodynamic forces of each section of a rotor blade. It was found that the influence of each high-order harmonic control on individual blade vibration load reduction is similar in different advanced ratios. After these calculations, the genetic algorithm was used to calculate the best combination of amplitude and phase of the higher order harmonic under a specific flight state. Under the effect of high harmonic input, the vibration loads of the hub could be reduced by about 65%. These results can be theoretically applied to design control law to reduce helicopter vibration loads.
