The invention belongs to the field of structural
strength design of helicopters, and relates to a
ground resonance calculation method of a helicopter based on multi-
modal coupling. The method comprises the following steps: selecting a typical weight state and a typical lift state of a certain type of aircraft, and calculating to obtain compression stiffness and compression damping of a main aircraft wheel, a
tail aircraft wheel and a buffer strut; simulating compression stiffness and compression damping of the main
landing gear and the
tail landing gear in the full-
aircraft dynamics model, and establishing the full-
aircraft dynamics model on the
landing gear; carrying out aircraft body complex mode calculation on the full-aircraft dynamic model on the undercarriage, and selecting six
rigid body modes,
modal masses, damping ratios and
modal shapes of the aircraft body on a main undercarriage and a
tail undercarriage from calculation results; on the basis of
machine body movement, under the condition of considering two directions of the center of a
propeller hub and blade shimmy movement, several modalities are combined to carry out
ground resonance stability calculation. According to the method, a more real
ground resonance stability curve can be obtained, and an accurate and reliable calculation method is provided for ground
resonance design.
