Abstract
The governing equations of the helicopter rotor blade enabling piezoceramic-axial, bending, and shear actuation are derived in this chapter and an outline of the aeroelastic analysis used in this book is given. A background on piezoelectric materials used in this book is also provided. Section 2.1 begins with an introduction to piezoelectric materials and Sect. 2.2 explains the piezoceramic actuation concept. Section 2.3 provides an introduction to terminology used in the helicopter field. In Sect. 2.4, structural modeling is explained. Section 2.5 explains the aerodynamic model used for the aeroelastic analysis. Section 2.6 presents the blade and hub loads. Section 2.7 explains the aeroelastic analysis of a rotor. Section 2.8 gives the summary of this chapter.
