A 3D Theodorsen-based rotor blade flutter model using normal modes

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === This thesis presents a fully coupled, quasi-3D analysis of rotor blade flutter that can accommodate forward flight conditions. The rotor blade is modeled as a uniform beam, taking the average characteristics of a real blade between 20% and 9...
