Numerical Investigation and Optimization of Shape and Design Parameters of Lift Rod of Helicopter

Numerical Investigation and Optimization of Shape and Design Parameters of Lift Rod of Helicopter R. Saravanan T. Gopalakrishnan

The technological advantages lead to design the components and systems of great extent. The functional components and their dimensions are to be designed well for ensuring safe and reliable operations. The lift rod of helicopter is considered here for optimization. The failure mode analysis results show that the lift rod fails often and found to have less life period because of some complex force system that is encountered while landing, take-off and continuation of flight. Initially the existing design parameters and cross sections were considered as it is for observation. Based on the observation, the cross section was optimized to some extent. Then the design parameters are increased to 3 levels. The lift rod is analysed again with modified parameters. Finally, both the dimensions and shape are optimized to achieve a good design with desirable characteristics.
