Vibrations in helicopters ‐ reduction and monitoring

Abstract

Describes the Westland active control of structural response (ACSR) technique for reducing and alleviating vibration. Examines a refined coupled rotor/flexible fuselage model based on the ACSR approach. Reports on vibration health monitoring (VHM) which has been developed by Westland and details further work which is continuing in this field.
