Abstract

The dynamic balancing test of helicopter main rotor blades is a blade rotation test conducted on the ground to make the track of each blade and the load on each pitch rod to a similar level before the flight tests. The purpose of the test is to reduce the vibration occurring on main rotor system as a result of dissimilarity of each blade. The RTB test has been performed for a long period at Whirl Tower Test Facility located in Goheung Flight Centre, accumulating its data. As the amount of the results has become increasingly enormous the needs for the development of database system has been raised to manage the data with effective method. This research aimed to describe the development of Dynamic-Balancing Database System for the RTB test results. For the design of the database system the informations of RTB test results have been categorized into properties, connecting each others according to its logical meaning, and comprised into a database system with relational elements. It has been shown in this paper that the Dynamic Balancing database system enables to effectively accumulate the RTB test data and to be utilized for the data analysis.

헬리콥터 주로터 블레이드의 동적 밸런싱 시험은 헬리콥터의 비행시험 전 각 블레이드의 트랙과 피치로드 하중을 동일한 수준으로 조절하기 위해 수행되는 지상회전시험이다. 이러한 동적밸런싱 시험의 목적은 블레이드 간 특성차이로 인해 나타나는 주로터 시스템 진동을 감소시키기 위함이다. 고흥 항공센터의 훨타워 시험설비에서는 오랜 기간에 걸쳐 수리온 주로터 블레이드에 대한 동적밸런싱 시험을 수행하고 데이터를 축적해 왔다. 이에 데이터양이 점차 방대해짐에 따라 시험결과를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 데이터베이스 프로그램의 개발의 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 훨타워 시험설비에서 수행한 동적밸런싱 시험결과를 바탕으로 구축한 데이터베이스 시스템에 대해 기술하였다. 본 연구에서 구현된 데이터베이스 시스템은 동적밸런싱 시험 결과를 각 정보별로 논리적으로 모델링하고 각각의 데이터가 상호 관계를 이룰 수 있도록 연결하여 관계형 구조를 이루도록 설계되었다. 아울러 본 논문을 통해 기 설계된 데이터베이스 시스템이 동적밸런싱 시험 결과의 축적과 시험 결과 분석에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있음을 보였다.
