Masters Theses
This study explores the variable speed operation and shift response of a prototype of a two speed single path CVT rotorcraft driveline system. Here a Comprehensive Variable Speed Rotorcraft Propulsion system Modeling (CVSRPM) tool is developed and utilized to simulate the drive system dynamics in steady forward speed condition. This investigation attempts to build upon previous variable speed rotorcraft propulsion studies by:
1) Including fully nonlinear first principles based transient gas-turbine engine model
2) Including shaft flexibility
3) Incorporating a basic flight dynamics model to account for interactions with the flight control system.
Through exploring the interactions between the various …
