A major focus of the applicant's research program in the recent years has been the development of a realistic structural and dynamic model of a smart helicopter rotor blade that can be used to simulate dynamic behaviour of these blades with a high degree of fidelity. A continuous model of a smart rotor blade, without initial span-wise twist, was developed in the previous phase of this research program. This model that incorporates integrated piezoelectric fibres as Macro Fibre Composites (MFC) can be used to investigate the controllability of undesirable dynamic responses by using the piezoelectric actuators to influence the dynamic response of the blades. Building on the developments of the previous phase of this research program, the next phase will include the following objectives:****1. Investigate the capability and versatility of smart Macro-Fibre Composite (MFC) helicopter rotor blades to control Blade Sailing Phenomenon (BSP) in shipboard helicopters has been under investigation in my research group. During start-up and shut-down operations of helicopter rotor blades on ship decks, the elastic response of blades is of concern for flight safety and personnel reasons. While the rotors are being engaged or disengaged on a shipboard helicopter, at low speeds of rotation they can be subjected to high wind-induced aerodynamic forces without the benefit of the centrifugal stiffening present at the higher normal operating speeds. This excitation combined with ship deck motion and wind conditions has the potential of resulting in excessive deformations in rotor blades that is referred to as the BSP. As the result, the rotor blades can come into contact with the fuselage or tailboom of the helicopter. This phenomenon, while resulting in substantial levels of airframe damage with the possibility of bringing the airworthiness of the vehicle into question, also compromises the safety of flight crew and the ship deck personnel quite seriously. To reduce the BSP, this research program will develop an active control strategy using active twist through embedded MFCs to augment passive control strategies, like increasing the collective pitch setting.****2) This program will also include optimization of the placement and configuration of the integrated MFC actuators in the blade to obtain the best actuation authority.****3) The existing development does not take into account the effect of initial twist that is present in most, if not all, modern helicopter rotor blades. A more realistic modelling of rotor blades requires the incorporation of such a feature in cross-sectional analysis.****4) The rotor blade model that is developed for rotorcrafts in the previous phase of this research program can now be further developed and applied to investigate the dynamic behaviour of horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) and to predict the power and torque developed in HAWT farms both off-shore and land-based.******

近年来，申请人的研究计划的主要焦点是开发智能直升机旋翼桨叶的现实结构和动态模型，该模型可以用于以高度的保真度模拟这些桨叶的动态行为。在本研究计划的前一阶段，开发了一个没有初始展向扭转的智能转子叶片的连续模型。该模型采用集成压电纤维作为宏纤维复合材料（MFC），可用于研究不期望的动态响应的可控性，通过使用压电致动器来影响叶片的动态响应。在本研究计划前一阶段发展的基础上，下一阶段将包括以下目标：*1。研究智能宏纤维复合材料（MFC）直升机旋翼桨叶控制舰载直升机桨叶航行现象（BSP）的能力和多功能性一直在我的研究小组进行调查。直升机旋翼桨叶在甲板上起停时，桨叶的弹性响应是飞行安全和人员安全的重要问题。当旋翼在舰载直升机上接合或脱离时，在低旋转速度下，它们可能受到高的风诱导气动力，而没有在较高正常操作速度下存在的离心加强的益处。这种激励与船舶甲板运动和风力条件相结合，有可能导致转子叶片过度变形，称为BSP。结果，旋翼桨叶可能与直升机的机身或尾梁接触。这种现象虽然导致机体严重损坏，可能使飞行器的适航性受到质疑，但也严重危及飞行机组人员和船舶甲板人员的安全。为了降低BSP，该研究计划将开发一种主动控制策略，通过嵌入式MFC使用主动扭转来增强被动控制策略，例如增加总距设置。2)该计划还将包括优化叶片中集成MFC致动器的位置和配置，以获得最佳致动权限。* 3)现有的研究没有考虑初始扭转的影响，而这种影响在大多数（如果不是全部）现代直升机旋翼桨叶中存在。旋翼桨叶的更真实的建模要求在横截面分析中纳入这种特征。* 4)在本研究计划的前一阶段为旋翼飞行器开发的转子叶片模型现在可以进一步开发并应用于研究水平轴风力涡轮机（HAWT）的动态行为并预测海上和陆上HAWT农场中产生的功率和扭矩。*
