Stability of Elastically Tailored Rotor Systems
Abstract
In this work the objectives included (1) the development of models and analysis methodology for rotor stability in hover, incorporating all relevant nonclassical structural effects; (2) the validation of the models and analysis methodology, including convergence; and (3) the conduct of limited design studies with the tools developed in order to enhance understanding of the role of elastic couplings on stability. All these objectives were met. The final report contains a brief summary description of the results of the work. Details may be found in the published papers listed at the end of the report....
