A New Approach to Modelling and Testing the Fatigue Strength of Helicopter Rotor Blades during Repair Process

A New Approach to Modelling and Testing the Fatigue Strength of Helicopter Rotor Blades during Repair Process

The fatigue test was carried out on an element of a rotor blade removed from the Mi-2 helicopter. The purpose of the test was to check the fatigue strength of the repaired rotor blade. Metal composite rotor blades have a metal spar in the form of a box and the trailing sections in the form of metall...
