Abstract

In this paper, the structural optimum design method of composite rotor blade cross-section was investigated with the genetic algorithm. An auto-mesh generation program was developed for iterative calculations of optimum design, and stresses in the blade cross-section were analyzed by VABS (variational asymptotic beam sectional analysis) program. Minimum mass of rotor blade was defined as an object function, and stress failure index, center mass and blade minimum mass per unit length were chosen as constraints. Finally, design parameters such as the thickness and layup angles of a skin, and the thickness, position and width of a torsion box were determined through the structural optimum design method of composite rotor blade cross-section presented in this paper.

본 논문에서는 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 복합재 로터 블레이드 단면 구조 최적설계방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 반복적인 최적설계 계산을 위해 자동격자생성 프로그램을 개발하였으며, VABS를 이용해 로터 블레이드 단면에 대한 응력해석을 수행하였다. 로터 블레이드 최소질량을 목적함수로 정의하였으며, 응력 파손지수와 단면 질량중심 그리고 단위 길이 당 블레이드 최소질량을 구속조건으로 설정하였다. 최종적으로 본 논문의 복합재 로터 블레이드 단면 구조 최적설계방법을 통해서 스킨 적층각 및 스킨 두께 그리고 토션박스 두께, 토션박스 위치, 토션박스 폭과 같은 블레이드 단면 설계변수들이 결정되었다.
