Abstract:
The purpose of the current study is the experimental analysis of the dynamics and aerodynamic loads of a three-bladed rotor. The experimental tests focus on the rotation with three different angular velocities; for each angular speed, four different preset angles of beam have been studied. During the laboratory experiment, strain gauges, as well as high-speed cameras, have been used as the measurement system. The images from the high-speed cameras have been used to obtain aerodynamic loads in the form of polynomials, while the signals from strain gauges mounted on each beam allowed us to observe the synchronization phenomenon between beams.
