This paper describes a hovering rotor blade design through the suitable combination of flow analysis and optimization technique. It includes a parametric study concerned with the influence of design variables and different design conditions such as objective functions and constraints on the rotor pe

An aeroelastic analysis based on finite elements in space and time is used to model the helicopter rotor in forward flight. The rotor blade is represented as an elastic cantilever beam undergoing flap and lag bending, elastic torsion and axial deformations. The objective of the improved design is to
The design of helicopters against fatigue phenomena is a particularly important and complex problem, due to the peculiar load spectra, composed by a high number of low-amplitude cycles. The fatigue design methodology most commonly applied by the helicopter community was based on the Safe-Life philos
