A Mathematical Model of the On-Deck Helicopter/Ship Dynamic Interface

Abstract

A mathematical model of the on-deck helicopter/ship dynamic interface has been developed and implemented on an ELXSI 6400 computer. This work provides a capability for investigating helicopter/ship dynamic interactions, such as deck clearances on landing, swaying, toppling and sliding criteria, and tie-down loads. Different helicopter types can be readily examined, given their undercarriage representation. The model takes account of arbitrary ship motion, and includes features such as brakes on or off, tyre deformation and tyre sliding. Keywords: Aircraft shipboard landings; Ship decks; Helicopters; Landing gear; Undercarriages; Australia.
