Analytical investigation of the tilt rotor whirl instabilityScheiman, James January 1972 (has links)
This dissertation presents a generalized analytical study of the whirl instability of a rotating propeller or rotor system. The mathematical model consists of rigid members with three degrees-of-freedom at the wing root and the wing-drive-shaft joints. In addition, each blade has lagging and flapping freedom. Two dimensional aerodynamics, including compressibility and stall effects, are included.
Whirl stability boundaries and characteristics are presented. The parameters investigated include both mechanical and operating variations such as shaft stiffness, number of blades and air density. It was found that decreasing forward speed can result in a whirl instability when blade stall is taken into account. No condition was found in which the rotor went into a forward precessional mode of motion. / Ph. D.
