Uncertainty Quantification for Nonlinear Vibration of Supercritical Drive Shaft With a Dry Friction Damper

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 463-480, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The supercritical drive shaft is becoming increasingly popular in helicopter transmission system. Dry friction dampers are specially employed to ensure the supercritical shafts crossing the critical speed safely. Due to design tolerances, manufacturing errors and time‐varying factors, the parameters of the damper are inherently uncertain ...

Helicopter far-field acoustic levels as a function of reduced main-rotor advancing blade-tip Mach number [PDF]

open access: yes
During the design of a helicopter, the weight, engine, rotor speed, and rotor geometry are given significant attention when considering the specific operations for which the helicopter will be used. However, the noise radiated from the helicopter and its

Designing High‐Performance, Manufacturing‐Friendly Rotor Blades for Micro Wind Turbines via Cambered Plate Airfoil Optimization

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Conventional methods for manufacturing rotor blades, such as composite construction and die casting, are hindered by high costs due to expensive molds, while 3D printing often results in poor quality or high production costs with unfavorable cost‐per‐part scaling.

Main rotor-tail rotor intraction and its implications for helicopter directional control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aerodynamic interference between the main and tail rotor can have a strong negative influence on the flight mechanics of a conventional helicopter. Significant unsteadiness in the tail rotor loading is encountered under certain flight conditions, but the
