Tail Drive Shaft of a helicopter transmits torque from the main gear box to the tail rotor and in most of the helicopter designs, tail shafts are designed to work in supercritical speeds. In order to limit resonance vibrations of the tail drive shaft, dry friction dampers can be used. Therefore, in order to study the effect of dry friction damping on the response of tail drive shaft, a mathematical model is developed. The tail drive shaft is modeled as a beam by using Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Bearings supporting the shaft structure and couplings used are represented by linear and torsional springs, respectively. The dry friction damper is located at the middle section of the shaft which is modeled by using a one-dimensional macroslip friction model with constant normal load. The partial differential equation of motion obtained is discretized by using Galerkin's Method with multiple trial functions. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using harmonic balance method utilizing single harmonic. Finally, the solution of the resulting set of nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained by using Newton's method. Using the model developed effects of parameters of the friction damper on the response of the tail drive shaft are studied.

Effect of wing deformation on aerodynamic loads at supersonic speeds Özkökdemir, Emir; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (null; 2017-09-22) Aerodynamic performance of wings is directly related to the flow characteristics and the wing geometry. The change in the wing geometry by external loads such as the temperature gradient formed by aerodynamic heating and the pressure distribution on wing surfaces affect the flow characteristics around the wing. In addition, the change in the flow characteristics affects the structural and the thermal loading on the wing. Therefore, aerodynamic performance for undeformed wing has not the same performance as ...
EFFECT OF INTENTIONAL DRY FRICTION DAMPING ON THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ELASTOMERIC ENGINE MOUNT Boral, Caner; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Korkmaz, Ibrahim (2010-07-24) Automotive engine mounts are used to protect engine from road irregularities and to isolate transmission of vibrations created by the engine which have a drastic effect on the noise generated inside the passenger cabin. Most common types of engine mounts are elastomeric and hydraulic mounts, the former having better vibration isolation characteristics whereas the latter displays better shock isolation. Elastomeric mounts are widely used for their low initial cost, while hydraulic mounts with inertia track a...
Effects of design parameters on the aeroelastic performance of a cruise missile wing Ertürk, Burak; Yaman, Yavuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work since the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally safe. Furthermore, the wing needs to satisfy other considerations such as propulsion, weight, flight performance, sizing for launch platform integration and other measures of merit. In order to meet these design requirements and achieve a successful design, several parameters of the wing need to be investigated at various flight conditions. In this thesis, aeroelas...
Effect of ground on flow structure of non-slender delta and reverse delta wings Koçak, Göktuğ; Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-26) Flight condition of aircrafts proximity to the ground, so-called “Ground Effect” (GE), is among one of the most recent research areas since the aerodynamic performance and stability of wing in ground effect (WIG) crafts significantly vary due to the flow dynamics associated with the interaction between the wing and the surface. In the present study, ground effect of non-slender delta wings (DW) and reversed delta wings (RDW) at static ground effect (SGE) condition in the absence of heave and pitch motion w...
Effects of Various Design Parameters on the Performance of a Cruise Missile Wing Yaman, Yavuz (null; 2019-09-18) The design of a cruise missile wing is a multidisciplinary work because the wing has to provide enough aerodynamic forces while being structurally in safe. Various parameters of the wing are investigated during the design phase in order to meet the design goals and achieve a successful design. In this paper, the effects of different parameters on the lift force and flutter speed of a cruise missile wing are presented. The aerodynamic analyses for predicting the lift force are performed by using FLUENT and t...
