Tail Drive Shaft is a power transmission component of a helicopter which constructs the link between the main gearbox and the tail rotor. In many helicopter designs, tail shafts are working in supercritical speeds. In order to limit resonance vibrations of tail drive shaft occurring as a drawback of a supercritical design, dry friction dampers are used by helicopter manufacturers. In this study, vibration reduction of supercritical helicopter tail drive shaft by utilizing dry friction dampers is studied. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the tail drive shaft supported by springs at both ends which represent the bearings and couplings used. Equation of motion is obtained by using Hamilton’s Principle. Obtained partial differential equation of motion is discretized by using Galerkin’s Method, and Harmonic Balance Method utilizing single harmonic is used in order to convert the resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. These set of equations are solved by using Newton’s Method and Newton’s Method with Arc-Length Continuation. In order to model the dry friction dampers mathematically, two different friction models are taken from the literature. However, in the literature there is no mathematical model for dry friction element with gap. Therefore, in this study as an addition to the models taken from the literature a one-dimensional macroslip dry friction model with gap is developed. Several case studies are performed in order to study the effect of design parameters on the vibration amplitude of the tail drive shaft.

Modeling of fluid -vapor interface in the condensation zone of a grooved heat pipe Alipour, Mobin; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) Condensation in grooved heat pipes involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and dispersion pressure gradients and condensation over ultra thin films. In grooved heat pipes, the majority of condensation occurs on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film, having a lower thermal resistance, compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker. Majority of the studies in the literature assume an appr...
Limitations of Matching Condensing Film Profile on a Micro Fin with the Groove: Critical Effect of Disjoining Pressure Alipour, Mobin; Dursunkaya, Zafer (Informa UK Limited, 2019-06-28) Condensation on a fin top terminating with a groove involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and disjoining pressure gradients, and condensation over thin films. This problem occurs in grooved heat pipes, where the condensation is predominantly present on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film - having a lower thermal resistance compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker. Majority of ...
Thermal stimulation of aqueous volumes contained in carbon nanotubes: Experiment and modeling Yarin, AL; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Megaridis, CM (2005-01-01) The dynamic response, as caused by thermal stimulation, of aqueous liquid attoliter volumes contained inside multiwall carbon nanotubes is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The experiments indicate an energetically driven mechanism responsible for the dynamic multiphase fluid behavior visualized under high resolution in the transmission electron microscope. The theoretical model is formulated using a continuum approach, which combines temperature-dependent diffusion with intermolecular interact...
Thermal stresses in elastic-plastic tubes with temperature-dependent mechanical and thermal properties Orcan, Y; Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2001-11-01) The thermoelastic-plastic deformations of internal heat-generating tubes are investigated by considering the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity coefficient, Young's modulus, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the yield limit of the material. A model describing the elastic-plastic behavior of the tube is developed. The model consists of a system of two second-order ordinary differential equations and a first-order ordinary differential equation involving nonlinear temperature-dependent...
Gradient-based optimization of micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver geometry and flow rate Akba, Tufan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Mengüç, M. Pınar (2023-02-01) This study focuses on the design optimization of a micro-scale pressurized volumetric receiver by changing geometry and flow rate constrained by the volume, outlet air temperature, and outer surface temperature. The pressurized volumetric receiver model is replicated from an existing model, which assumes constant air pressure and neglects the convection loss from the cavity. The existing model is revised from a solver to a design optimizer. The replicated model is restructured using OpenMDAO (Open-source Mu...
