Prediction of interior noise level within a helicopter fuselage is an important design aspect considering competition in the aviation global market combined with customer's comfort expectations. Especially, in the development phase of a new product, accurate vibro-acoustic models are required to give an engineering assessment to guide the design. The objective of this study is to review noise-generating mechanism on helicopters and vibro-acoustic analysis techniques, and to build two different predictive Statistical Energy Anal-ysis (SEA) models for a conventional type of helicopter. One approach involves SEA where structures are modelled by SEA subsystems, while the other approach is hybrid FEM-SEA where stiffer components having few modes at the low-to-mid frequency range are constructed with finite element while the rest represented by SEA subsystems. Excita-tions due to the main gearbox is taken from flight measurements on similar helicopters. Turbulent Boundary Layer (TBL), engine airborne noise and main and tail rotor excitations are also applied as main sources of interior noise. Through the analysis, sound pressure levels for the cruise condition are evaluated in the frequency range of interest up to 16000 Hz by commercial software.

Separation simulation for helicopter external stores and generation of safe separation envelopes Kapulu, Özge; Tekinalp, Ozan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2015) In many aerospace applications, simulations are used to predict the behavior of the flight vehicle and reduce the number of flight tests required. In this thesis modeling and development of separation simulation tool for helicopter external stores is carried out. Detailed explanations of mathematical modeling, procedure of store separation analysis and collision detection approach from flight dynamics point of view are presented. The nonlinear mathematical model of armed configuration of Black Hawk helicopt...
ADJOINT-BASED AERODYNAMIC SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A STRAKE-DELTA WING CONFIGURATION Yutük, Kaan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2021-11-8) Modern fighter aircraft compulsorily demand high maneuverability capability, which is mainly provided by an improved aerodynamic performance at high angles of attack. This is achieved by mostly employing strakes and canards. In this study, adjoint-based configuration and leading edge shape optimizations of a strake on a double-delta wing configuration are performed. SU2 is employed for flow and adjoint solutions. SU2 flow solutions are first verified on solutions for adaptive grids. In the configuration opt...
Structural and aerodynamic analyses of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of a fully morphing wing Gürses, Ercan; Yang, Yosheph; Arslan, Pinar; Kalkan, Ugur; Tıraş, Harun; Şahin, Melin; Özgen, Serkan; Yaman, Yavuz (2017-05-01) In this article, the design and analysis of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of an unmanned aerial vehicle are presented. The structural design was performed to increase and decrease the camber of the control surface to match selected airfoil profiles. The design was first analyzed with the help of finite element method to assess the morphing capability. The morphed control surface was then analyzed aerodynamically and comparisons with the original target profiles were made. According to the aerodynam...
Hovering Control of a Tilt-Wing UAV Çakır, Hasan; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda (2019-09-20) In this study, the design and analysis of hovering controller of an UAV which is capable of doing vertical take-off and landing using the fixed six rotors placed on the tilt-wing and tilt-tail will be explained. The aircraft will have four rotors on the wing and two rotors on the tail. The main wing and horizontal tail will be capable of 90° tilting. Whole flight is separated into three flight modes, which are VTOL, Transition and Forward Flight, to have a robust control on aircraft. Only hover control of t...
Development of a comprehensive and modular modelling, analysis and simulation tool for helicopters Yücekayalı, Arda; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011) Helicopter flight dynamic, rotor aerodynamic and dynamic analyses activities have been a great dispute since the first helicopters, at both design and test stages. Predicting rotor aerodynamic and dynamic characteristics, helicopter dynamic behavior and trimmed flight conditions is a huge challenge to engineers as it involves the tradeoff between accuracy, fidelity, complexity and computational cost. Flight dynamic activities such as; predicting trim conditions, helicopter dynamic behavior and simulation of...
