Research on Free Damping Treatment for a Marine Life Hoist of the Helicopter

Abstract

Free damping treatment for a marine life hoist of the helicopter is analyzed in this paper. Based on the pipe structure used in actual life hoist bracket, the complex rigidity method is used to analyze the damping loss factor of the pipe structure. When the temperature is 30°C and the thickness of the damping material is 2.5mm, the damping loss factor of the structure increases by 9.83 times. The damping ratio of the first mode reaches 11.61%. The results indicate that the free damping treatment can obviously increase the damping loss factor and the modal damping ratio of the structure, which can mitigate structural vibration and reduce noise induced by the vibration.
