Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of cantilever beam structure bending deformation measurement in material mechanics, and particularly relates to a propeller tip displacement measurement method based on multi-section segmented integral calibration. BACKGROUND

[0002] The propeller tip flapping displacement measurement method of a helicopter rotor blade under distributed aerodynamic load loading can be used for monitoring the tip spacing of a hingeless rigid multi-rotor. For a hingeless rigid rotor, the tip flapping displacement is completely affected by the aerodynamic load and does not exist the non-strain response tip displacement generated by the free movement of the flapping hinge in the articulated rotor. Therefore, the tip flapping displacement of the hingeless rigid rotor can be characterized by the aerodynamic flapping load of the blade.

[0003] However, the flapping strain response of each section on the blade can only map the bending moment load and cannot be one-to-one mapped with the tip displacement. The application provides a multi-section segmented integral calibration method based on the flapping displacement of the blade to obtain the accurate conversion relationship between the flapping displacement of the blade and the multi-section strain response of the blade. SUMMARY

The root angle of attack of the blade in the total distance state is controlled. A displacement sensor or a camera is arranged at the blade tip to measure the flapwise displacement of the blade tip

[0032] Further, the calibration is started from the root section Z1, the flapwise load is loaded at the section Z2, and the transformation relationship K1 of the flapwise strain response ε1 of the section Z1 and the blade tip flapwise displacement L1 is measured, i.e. K1=L1 / ε1.

[0033] Further, the flapwise load is loaded at the section Z3, and the flapwise strain responses ε 21 and ε 22 of the sections Z1 and Z2 are measured, and the blade tip flapwise displacement L2 is obtained. The present application considers that the blade tip flapwise displacement L2 is the blade tip flapwise displacement L 21 mapped by the flapwise strain response ε 21 of the section Z1 and the blade tip flapwise displacement L 22 mapped by the flapwise strain response ε 22Therefore, combined with the variation relationship between the strain response of the Z1 section and the blade tip flapping displacement in the previous step, the variation relationship K2 between the strain response of the Z2 section and the blade tip flapping displacement can be expressed as K2 = (L2-K1×ε 21 ) / ε 22 ;

[0034] Furthermore, when calibrating the strain / displacement conversion coefficient of the Zi section, a flapping load is applied to the Zi+1 section, and the flapping strain ε from the Z1 to Zi section is measured. i1 , ε i2 、......、ε ii The flapping displacement of the blade tip section is L i The present invention considers that the blade tip flapping displacement L i The blade tip flapping displacement L is mapped by the flapping strain from Z1 to Zi section i1 , L i2 、......、L ii Composition, that is, Z1 section strain ε i1 Mapped tip displacement L i1 =K1*ε i1 、Z2 section strain ε i2 Mapped tip displacement L i2 =K2*ε i2 , and so on, Zi-1 section strain ε i(i-1) Mapped tip displacement L i(i-1) =K i-1 *ε i(i-1) Therefore, the transformation relationship Ki between the flapping strain response of the Zi profile and its mapped blade tip displacement can be expressed as

[0035] Furthermore, when calibrating the strain / displacement conversion coefficient of the nth section, flapping loading is performed at any position between the Zn section and the blade tip section, and the flapping strain ε of the Z1 to Zn section is measured. n1 , ε n2 、......、ε nn The flapping displacement of the blade tip section is L n The present invention considers that the blade tip flapping displacement L n The blade tip flapping displacement L is mapped by the flapping strain from Z1 to Zn section n1 , L n2 、......、L nn Composition, that is, Z1 section strain ε i1 Mapped tip displacement L n1 =K1*ε n1 、Z2 section strain ε n2 Mapped tip displacement L n2 =K2*ε n2Similarly, the Zn-1 profile strain ε n(n-1) The mapped tip displacement L n(n-1) = K n-1 * ε n(n-1) Therefore, the transformation relationship Kn between the Zn profile heave strain response and its mapped tip displacement can be expressed as

[0036] Further, the tip heave displacement L is obtained by the dot product of the one-dimensional matrix of the heave strain response [ε1, ε2,.... ε n ] of n profiles and the one-dimensional matrix of the profile transformation coefficients relative to the tip displacement [K1, K2,.... K n ], L = K1 x ε1 + K2 x ε2 +... + K n x ε n .
