This book was released on 2016 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to introduce new functions in helicopter flight controls, it is necessary to increase the bandwidths of their actuators. A realistic modelling of the entire actuating system, taking into account its power limitations and its energy consumption, as well as the improvement of the existing sealing and guiding device technologies are the two main challenges to reach the desired high frequency without reducing dramatically the actuator lifespan. To support this new development, this work is organized in three parts. A first part presents the state of the art of the helicopter flight controls. A generic actuator architecture is proposed as well as the associated terminology. A second part deals with the development of a detailed knowledge-model using the Bond-graph formalism for the actuating system. A particular effort is made to standardize the components and their interfaces in an object-oriented approach. The last part deals with the sealing and guiding devices of flight control cylinders. Given the objective of using fluid bearings, the various ways of generating a normal force within a fluid film are analyzed. Then, a more detailed study of the hydrostatic thrust bearings and the conical hybrid bearings is then carried out taking into account the constraints specific to aeronautics. All the knowledge acquired is applied to a concrete case of development, aided by the models, of high frequency actuators for the active control of a rotor.
Download or read book Multi physics Modeling of Technological Systems written by Marc Budinger and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of mechatronic and multidomain technological systems requires the dynamic behavior to be simulated before detailed CAD geometry is available. This book presents the fundamental concepts of multiphysics modeling with lumped parameters. The approach adopted in this book, based on examples, is to start from the physical concepts, move on to the models and their numerical implementation, and finish with their analysis. With this practical problem-solving approach, the reader will gain a deep understanding of multiphysics modeling of mechatronic or technological systems – mixing mechanical power transmissions, electrical circuits, heat transfer devices and electromechanical or fluid power actuators. Most of the book's examples are made using Modelica platforms, but they can easily be implemented in other 0D/1D multidomain physical system simulation environments such as Amesim, Simulink/Simscape, VHDL-AMS and so on.

Jenney and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the design and test evaluation of a direct drive fly-by-wire redundant control system. Also included in the report is the evaluation testing of a fly-by-wire tandem actuator mechanization developed by Parker-Hannifin Aerospace Hydraulics Division, Irvine California. The direct drive system is based on using moving coil force motors to position a hydraulic control valve without hydraulic amplification. The system is designed as a single fail operate system which will accept one input or component failure and continue to operate with acceptable performance. The test results verified that the failure modes and performance met the design goals. The system incorporates component dispersion techniques to allow single hit survivability. The direct drive mechanization offers adequate performance with minimum complexity as a fly-by-wire control system. The Parker-Hannifin actuator mechanization is a two fail operate configuration using an integrated secondary actuator with both force and position summing. The test results document the operational characteristics of the design. (Author).

Book excerpt: This information report (AIR) provides design information of various contemporary aircraft fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control actuation systems that may be useful in the design of future systems for similar applications. It is primarily applicable to manned aircraft. It presents the basic characteristics, hardware descriptions, redundancy concepts, functional schematics, and discussions of the servo controls, failure monitoring, and fault tolerance. All existing FBW actuation systems are not described herein; however, those most representing the latest designs are included. While this AIR is intended as a reference source of information for aircraft actuation system designs, the exclusion or omission of any other appropriate actuation system or subsystem should not limit consideration of their use on future aircraft.

Download or read book A Comprehensive Piezoelectric Bending Beam Model Inspired by Microaerial Vehicle Applications written by Peter Andras Kovacs Szabo and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microaerial vehicles are an up-and-coming area of robotics which is fuelled by modern understanding of the unsteady aerodynamics of insect flight and the development of new actuation technologies. In the past two decades computer simulations have aided in uncovering the lift mechanisms which flying insects use to stay aloft. Using these details, roboticists had begun using lightweight structures and high power density actuators to mimic the physical parameters and flapping kinematics of flying insects with the intent to recreate the dynamics of insect flight. One of the most important aspects of flapping-wing microaerial vehicles is the actuation method. Piezoelectric bending-beam actuators have been scaled up from MEMS technology for use in microaerial vehicle applications owing to their high power density and performance at low mass. The initial development toward the UTIAS Robotic Dragonfly, a microaerial vehicle platform using a piezoelectric-based actuator, is outlined. The components are fabricated from lightweight materials such as a carbon fibre frame, polymide film joints, and polyester film wings while the actuator is a piezoelectric bending-beam which was designed using existing mathematical models. The design and fabrication of the wings, actuator, transmission, and power supply are detailed. The prototypes are measured for lift generation using custom lift sensors which had undergone static and dynamic calibration for low-force, high-bandwidth measurement. Although the resulting lift curves qualitatively correspond with the literature, it was determined that more power was needed for lift-off to be achieved and existing piezoelectric models do not fully account for maximizing the force-deflection relationship. An extension to the existing Ballas model of piezoelectric bending-beam devices is derived. This modified Ballas model incorporates devices beyond constant width. Actuator performance limitations highlighted the need for a more comprehensive piezoelectric bending-beam model. The final contribution is a derivation of a new bending-beam model to permit multiple layers, any continuous width profile, and independent layer excitation. An energy-based approach using the extended Hamilton's principle was used to incorporate the generalities desired in the new piezoelectric bending-beam model. Examples of the new model are compared to both simulation and experiment for verification as well as to showcase its versatility.
