Numerical simulation of deformations of a specimen of a composite helicopter blade as part of a resonant vibration set-up [PDF]
To determine the fatigue life of the tail rotor blade of a helicopter made of polymer composite materials (CM), a method of fatigue testing of the specimens of the blade with accompanied numerical modeling of the deformed state has been developed.

Failure of a Tail Rotor Blade in a Helicopter [PDF]
Abstract A helicopter lost the outboard rib on a tail rotor blade in flight and was forced to land because of the resulting vibrations. The investigation that followed is described in this chapter along with key findings. As shown in a sketch, the rib is held in place by a set of six rivets.

Fast Computational Aeroelastic Analysis of Helicopter Rotor Blades [PDF]
The use of a new aeroelastic computer framework called Flexit is described and the frame-work is used to analyse the dynamic aeroelastic behaviour of a four-bladed helicopter main rotor. Flexit implements a loose coupling between unsteady vortex lattice method (UVLM) and numerical solution of the inhomogeneous Euler-Bernoulli partial differential ...
