Abstract

The problem of calculating the Floquet transition matrix for parametric stability problems is considered. A new method of calculating the transition matrix with a minimum number of time steps is described. The method is shown to be extremely efficient for a wide class of helicopter stability problems, including flapping stability of a helicopter rotor, helicopter ground resonance with a nonisotropic rotor and pitch-flap-bending stability of a helicopter rotor in forward flight. The relationship of the method to the classical method of averaging is pointed out.
