摘要:
Systems, methods, and computer program products for directional force weighting of an active vibration control system involve arranging a plurality of force generators in an array, identifying individual component forces corresponding to force outputs of each of the plurality of force generators, determining a combination of the individual component forces that will produce a desired total force vector, and adjusting the outputs of each of the plurality of force generators such that the combination of the individual component forces are at least substantially similar to the desired force vector.

Improved vibration damping devices (10), systems, and related methods are provided herein. In some aspects, damping devices and related methods can be used in single rotor or tandem rotor aircraft. In some aspects, a vibration damping device (10) for use in a vibration damping system of an aircraft can include a housing (10), at least two imbalance masses (42b, 44b) provided in a side-by-side configuration within the housing, and at least two more imbalance masses (40b, 46b) provided in a nested configuration within the housing. In some aspects, devices, systems, and methods include rotating any two imbalance masses provided within the housing in a same direction. Such rotation can result in a linear force for counteracting vibration occurring within the aircraft. In some aspects, devices described herein can include one or more processors for executing commands from a controller within a damping system.

A vibration attenuator for an aircraft has at least one weight mounted in a rotating system of a rotor hub of the aircraft, each weight being rotatable about an axis of rotation of the hub relative to the hub and to each other weight. Drive means are provided for rotating each weight about the axis of rotation at a selected speed for creating oscillatory shear forces that oppose and attenuate rotor-induced vibrations having a selected frequency. A vertically oriented vibration attenuator is configured to oppose and attenuate vertical rotor induced oscillatory forces that would otherwise travel vertical down the rotor mast and into the airframe. A vibration attenuator having weights rotating about separate axes offset from each other.

A device for reducing structural vibrations of aerofoils in an aircraft comprises, in the region of the aerfoil tips, at least one force generator (24a) acting substantially in the direction of movement of the vibrations. This arrangement has the advantage that such a force generator (24a) is considerably less susceptible to wear than conventional aerodynamic flaps and therefore effective vibration damping is possible with a reduced outlay on maintenance and greater efficiency.
