Modeling helicopter dynamic loads using artificial neural networks

In this thesis, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are used to model helicopter main rotor dynamic loads as a function of flight variables. The motivation to develop an accurate model of such loads is to reduce maintenance and replacement costs by eliminating excessive conservatism currently associat...
