Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of helicopter rotor load identification, and specifically proposes a method for decoupling bending moments in rotor load identification based on fiber Bragg grating sensors. Background Art

[0002] The rotor is the core component that provides power and control for a helicopter. Dynamic monitoring of the blade structural load is the main basis for analyzing the dynamic characteristics of the rotor blade and verifying the blade design, directly affecting the strength, performance, and flight characteristics of the helicopter.

[0003] For decades, the strain signals of rotor blades have mainly been obtained through traditional strain gauges. However, traditional strain gauges are easily affected by external environments such as temperature and humidity, and experimental results are prone to deviation. Moreover, one electrical sensor can only connect to one channel and can only measure the signal at one location, which requires a large number of wires to meet the measurement needs. Therefore, the additional mass generated will introduce certain errors to the experimental results. Particularly seriously, the signals measured by resistance strain gauges have high noise, poor signal quality, and large measurement errors.

[0004] Therefore, considering the harsh working environment of helicopter blades and the relatively large external interference, fiber Bragg grating sensors are selected as the measurement components. Compared with traditional strain gauges, fiber Bragg grating sensors have the following advantages: high sensitivity; wide frequency band and large measurement range; anti-electromagnetic interference, high voltage resistance, corrosion resistance, good confidentiality, and safe and reliable in flammable and explosive environments; light weight, small volume, bendable, easy to change shape, and good adaptability; convenient to cooperate with fiber telemetry technology to achieve remote measurement and control; capable of real-time measurement, on-line monitoring, and automatic control, etc. During the actual bending moment measurement process, due to the complex working environment of the blade and the asymmetry of the blade profile, there are coupling problems in the measured flapping moment, lead-lag moment, and torque. Therefore, this paper proposes a method for decoupling and calibrating the flapping moment, lead-lag moment, and torque of the blade structure based on fiber Bragg grating sensors.
