© 2019 The Vertical Flight Society. All rights reserved.Lug-bush connection members are used widely in the aerospace industry. Under cyclic loads, these connection members fail due to fretting fatigue. The tensile fatigue loading creates sliding and sticking regions at the lug-bush interface and leads to the fracture of the lug. In this study, four different lug-bush members are investigated. Different surface conditions are observed at the sticking and sliding regions of all members. Black residues are observed only at the sliding regions, which are caused by the relative motion between the contacting lug and bush surfaces. A crack initiated from the sliding region and the lug fractured at this point. The contact surfaces are investigated using a digital microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Additionally, elemental compositions of the sticking and sliding surfaces are obtained with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis in SEM. The results showed that rubbing of lug-bush surfaces created wear debris at the sliding region, which was corroded and formed a tribolayer containing fine metal particles and oxides. The crack is observed to initiate from this tribolayer. Comparison of the fracture and sticking-sliding region positions indicated that the fracture locations of four different lug-bush members were similar. Shape of the tribolayer of similar lug-bush materials are observed to be different from the shape of dissimilar lug-bush materials. Finite element analysis is done using ABAQUS and sliding region locations are in agreement with the observations.

TACO: Helicopter noise predictions Yücekayalı, Arda; Şenipek, Murat; Ortakaya, Yüksel; Özyörük, Yusuf (null; 2019-01-01) © 2019 The Vertical Flight Society. All rights reserved.In this paper, isolated rotor noise validation and identification of full helicopter BVI noise are performed by a recently developed aerodynamic noise calculation code TACO. TACO results are compared and validated with PSU-WOPWOP which is a widely known aerodynamic noise calculation tool and HART-II wind tunnel test data. Time dependent pressure and blade position data required by the acoustic codes are generated with CHARM using full helicopter trim a...
Simulation model fidelity enhancement using corrective force and moment increments: Review of activity performed in NATO-AVT Panel 296 Taghizad, Armin; White, Mark; Cameron, Neil; Padfield, Gareth; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Myrand-Lapierre, Vincent; Nadeau-Beaulieu, Michel; Richard, Sylvain; Tischler, Mark (2021-01-01) Copyright © 2021 by the Vertical Flight Society. All rights reserved.The Applied Vehicle Technology (AVT) Panel of the NATO Science and Technology Organization has recently engaged a Research Task Group on the topic of rotorcraft flight simulation model fidelity. This group aimed to explore a comprehensive set of methods for flight mechanics simulation fidelity enhancement, including training simulation applications. Particular effort was also directed to the metrics used for simulation fidelity model asses...
Single hidden layer neural network based model reference adaptive controller for estimation of periodic disturbances Gezer, Rüştü Berk; Kutay, Ali Türker (2019-01-01) © 2019 by German Aerospace Center (DLR). Published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.A model reference adaptive controller effective for systems under periodic disturbances is proposed. The disturbance on the system is assumed to be purely periodic. The parametrization of the adaptive controller uses single hidden layer neural network architecture. The basis functions of this parametrization are formed by elements of Fourier series. The adaptation is done by using a Lyapunov bas...
Noise prediction of a transonic cavity flow via shear-layer-adapted delayed detached-eddy simulation Yalçın, Özgür; Özyörük, Yusuf (2018-01-01) © 2018 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.An open cavity flow contains a highly turbulent shear layer which separates from the upstream edge and impinges on the aft wall of the cavity, causing intense noise emission. In this study, a delayed detached-eddy simulation (DDES) with the use of "shear-layer-adapted" subgrid length scale, an enhancement of DDES available in literature, is conducted for such an open cavity flow problem. The results show that this len...
Tilt duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept design study Armutcuoglu, O; Kavsaoglu, MS; Tekinalp, Ozan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-03-01) A new autonomously controlled tilt-duct vertical takeoff and landing uninhabited aerial vehicle concept is proposed. This design combines the vertical flight capability of a helicopter and forward flight performance of a fixed-wing conventional aircraft. The two main engines and propellers are located inside the tilting ducts attached to the wing tips. There is a third engine-propeller combination located inside the all fuselage for pitch and yaw control during hover and transition. The advantages and disad...
