Abstract:
The rotor system is the revolving part of a helicopter which generates lift. This rotor consists of a mast, rotor blades, and hub. The mast is a hollow cylindrical metal shaft which extends in an upward direction from and is driven. Sometimes it is supported by the transmission also. On the top, a mast is the attachment point for the rotor blades (hub). The rotor blades are attached to the hub by different methods. Critical rotor systems are classified according to how they move relative to the main rotor hub and how the main rotor blades are attached. As the rotor starts spinning, each blade responds to inputs from the control system to enable helicopter control. The centre of lift on the whole rotor system proceeds in response to these inputs to impact pitch, roll, and move in upward motion. In this case, the rotor hub must carry aerodynamic forces and the blade weight as rotational speeds. For that of helicopter rotor hub strength will be calculated. In this project, the 3d model of helicopter main rotor hub shall be done in Unigraphics and imported into ansys software to perform static analysis to analyze the strength of rotor hub and optimize by using different materials.
