Abstract:Based on the stopband characteristics of periodic structure as well as the shear performance of rubber material, a new radial periodic strut for main gearbox was proposed to suppress the transmission of high frequency vibration from the main gearbox to the fuselage, which is able to realize the noise reduction in helicopter cabin. For this configuration, the equivalent stiffness and mass of the radial sub-element were derived using the axially symmetric element, Hooke's law and virtual displacement principle, and the dynamic and static analysis models of the whole strut were further derived. On this basis, the influence of the main design parameters of the radial periodic strut on the stopband characteristics and the strength and stiffness characteristics is obtained through the parameter analysis. Subsequently, a sample strut was designed to meet the requirements of a certain helicopter model. Simulation analysis was then carried out from three aspects of vibration reduction characteristics, stiffness and strength to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme in the application of helicopter. The results show that the broadband noise attenuation is obvious and up to 40dB in the frequency range of 500-4000Hz.
