A study of helicopter rotor dynamics and modeling methods

The rotor system is the primary source of vibratory forces on a helicopter. Vibratory forces result from the rotor system response to dynamic and aerodynamic loading. This thesis discusses sources of excitation, and investigates rotor system modeling methods. Computer models based on finite element...
