Abstract

En 中文
Floating splines are widely used in helicopter tail transmission systems due to their simplicity, reliability, and high specific power. However, long-term operation leads to lubrication degradation, which increases tooth surface friction and may even introduce self-excited vibrations, thereby affecting system stability. To address this issue, a self-excited vibration suppression method for a supercritical spline-shaft system based on a piezoactuated smart dry friction damper is proposed. The proposed method integrates piezoelectric actuation control into the conventional dry friction damper of the helicopter transmission shaft system. A dynamic model of the supercritical shaft system incorporating a floating spline and a dry friction damper is established, and numerical simulations are conducted to reveal the self-excited vibration characteristics. The coupled dynamic response is further derived to verify the feasibility of suppressing self-excited vibration through the damper. Finally, the structural design and control strategy of the piezo-actuated smart dry friction damper are presented. The findings provide new insights and theoretical references for vibration control and damper design of splineshaft systems in helicopter.
