ABSTRACT:
A fiberglass-epoxy flexbeam extends from tip to tip of each opposed blade pair, carrying the blade centrifugal forces so that none of the centrifugal loading is carried by the hub. The primary load-carrying connector between the flexbeam and the hub is a set of elastomeric pads. These provide a soft mount between the flexbeam and the hub to keep the primary bending moments within the flexbeams where the filaments are designed to accommodate them. The elastomeric pads are also effective in isolating the hub from chordwise loads which include the steady driving torque and the "C" mode and "S" modes of coriolis vibration. The elastomeric hub mount damps these vibrations and tunes their frequencies to values well separated from the rotor frequency.
