Study on Vibration Adjustment Mechanism of S-76D Helicopter Rotor System Based on HUMS System

Abstract

In recent years, helicopter maintenance technology has been developing rapidly and is transitioning from time-based periodic maintenance to condition-based maintenance. Helicopter Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS system) plays an important role in this process. The excitation forces originating from the helicopter rotor system are the primary cause of airframe vibration, and the HUMS system monitors the main rotor balance and trajectory data during each flight and provides an adjustment solution and predicts the vibration level in case of overruns. This paper summarizes the vibration measurement, cause analysis and vibration adjustment methods by studying the vibration adjustment mechanism of the S-76D helicopter rotor system, and provides solution for the same type of vibration problems of the helicopter.
