Beschreibung

Background: At the Institute for Rotorcraft & Vertical Flight, a new research group has been established, focusing on the dynamic behavior of propeller systems. The dynamic effects, well-known from classical helicopter systems, become increasingly significant as the size of propeller systems in the UAV/UAM market grows. Unlike traditional rotors, propellers typically lack flapping and lead-lag hinges, resulting in disproportionately large loads during forward flight for larger propellers. To manage these loads and vibrations, propellers must be designed with aeroelastic properties similar to rotor blades. The Dynamic Propeller Group is dedicated to achieve this goal and seeks support from motivated students to contribute to their innovative research efforts.


We offer: This thesis aims to enhance the institute's existing Aeromechanic Code by incorporating
aeroelastic beam theory. Currently, the institute's tool lacks this crucial aspect, limiting its accuracy and applicability. The primary objective is to integrate aeroelastic beam theory into the software, thereby improving its capability to analyze and predict aeroelastic behavior. The newly developed model will be rigorously validated using experimental test data to ensure its accuracy and reliability. This integration is expected to significantly advance the tool's functionality, providing more comprehensive and precise aeromechanical analyses.

 
About us: We are a Team of PhD students looking for support from motivated Students (BA&MA). We work with our state-of-the-art research software and the institutes Rotor test rig. You are looking for interesting topics and want to work in the field of UAV/VTOL together with other Students sharing your interests? Feel free to contact us and send us a short motivational letter! We are looking forward to hear from you!
