In this paper, a crushable absorber system is designed to analyze the dynamic behavior and performance of a helicopter seat. The mechanism of the absorption system makes use of the crash energy to plastically deform the aluminum material of the seat legs. Seat structure is composed of a bucket, two legs and two sliding parts on each leg. Seat legs are made of aluminum and and the sliding parts of the seat are steel. During the impact event, the heavier sliding parts move down and crash the aluminum material for the purpose of deforming the aluminum material under the sliding parts and reduce the crash energy. The designed helicopter seat is analyzed using the explicit finite element method to evaluate how the seat energy absorbing mechanism works. Dynamic simulations are performed in ABAQUS by crashing the seat to a fixed rigid wall. To simulate the plastic deformation, true stress-strain curve of the aluminum material of the seat leg has been used. Time response results are filtered to calculate the meaningful g loads which incur damage to the occupants. Analyses are performed with and without the energy absorption mechanism in order to see the effectiveness of the energy absorption mechanism on the human survivability by comparing the g loads on the seat bucket with the acceptable loads specified by EASA. This study is a preliminary study intended to check the effectiveness of the damping mechanism based on the plastic deformation of the aluminum legs of the seat in the event of a crash.

Error analysis and assessment of unsteady forces acting on a flapping wing micro air vehicle: free flight versus wind-tunnel experimental methods
Caetano, J. V.; Perçin, Mustafa; van Oudheusden, B. W.; Remes, B.; de Wagter, C.; de Croon, G. C. H. E.; de Visser, C. C. (IOP Publishing, 2015-10-01)
An accurate knowledge of the unsteady aerodynamic forces acting on a bio-inspired, flapping-wing micro air vehicle (FWMAV) is crucial in the design development and optimization cycle. Two different types of experimental approaches are often used: determination of forces from position data obtained from external optical tracking during free flight, or direct measurements of forces by attaching the FWMAV to a force transducer in a wind-tunnel. This study compares the quality of the forces obtained from both m...

Bıyıklı, Rabiya; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Tekin, Raziye; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-2)
The study proposes complete attitude and acceleration autopilots in all three channels of a highly agile air defense missile by utilizing a subcategory of nonlinear feedback linearization methods Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI). The autopilot design includes cross-coupling effects enabling bank-to-turn (BTT) maneuvers and a rarely touched topic of control in the boost phase with hybrid control which consists of both aerodynamic fin control and thrust vector control. This piece of work suggests solut...

Experimental investigation of the effects of tip-injection on the aerodynamic loads and wake characteristics of a model horizontal axis wind turbine rotor
Abdulrahim, Anas; Uzol, Oğuz; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this study, tip injection is implemented on a model Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) rotor to investigate the power and thrust coefficient variations as well as the wake characteristics. The model wind turbine has a 0.95 m diameter 3-bladed rotor with non-linearly twisted and tapered blades that has NREL S826 profile. The nacelle, hub and the blades are specifically designed to allow pressurized air to pass through and get injected from the tips while the rotor is rotating. The experiments are perform...
