Bifurcation theory applied to the analysis of helicopter flight dynamics ; Théorie des bifurcations appliquée à l'analyse de la dynamique du vol des hélicoptères

This study aims at exploring the interest of using bifurcation theory to analyse concretely helicopter flight dynamics. A state-of-the-art allows to show how the methodology was applied with success in the case of fixed-wings aircrafts flight dynamics and presents some phenomenons highly nonlinear coming from the helicopter world. The first step is to set up the issue. Informatical works end up with the coupling of the HOST code of helicopter flight mechanics from EUROCOPTER and the ASDOBI code of dynamical systems analysis from ONERA. An analytical helicopter model absolutely dedicated and ad... Mehr ...
