Modeling the Effects of Blade Dissimilarity on Rotor Vibrations for CH-47 Chinook Using a Viscous Vortex Particle Method

This work is a part of the Automated Rotor Blade Inspection (ARBI) project. ARBI aims to improve the rotorcraft RTB process with novel rotor blade measurement equipment such as 3D scanning, thermography and shearography. The research aims to quantify the effects of changes in blade properties on rotor vibration levels for CH-47 Chinook. This is...
