Effect of structural orientation angle on the elastic properties of biomimetic composite rotor blades
The structural stiffness of helicopter rotor blades plays a critical role in the flight performance and stability of rotor systems. To investigate the effect of structural orientation angle on the elastic properties of biomimetic composite rotor blades, a finite element model incorporating structural orientation was developed, inspired by the reorientation characteristics of insect cuticle. Based on composite mechanics theory, a predictive relationship for the equivalent Young's modulus under different orientation conditions was derived. Numerical simulations were carried out in ABAQUS to evaluate the mechanical responses of the blades at various structural orientation angles, and the equivalent Young's modulus was determined from the extracted stress-strain data. The results indicate that the discrepancy between finite element predictions and theoretical values is within 20%, demonstrating good model reliability. Furthermore, the equivalent Young's modulus of the composite rotor blade decreases with increasing structural orientation angle, indicating that the orientation angle has a significant influence on both the equivalent Young's modulus and structural stiffness.
