Airscrew Blade Vibration

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  28 July 2016

Extract

During development of solid metal airscrews in the U.S.A. many vibration failures occurred and various investigations have been made there and elsewhere with a view to overcoming such troubles. The problem is to avoid airscrew failures while keeping weight as low as possible; its solution involves mathematical analysis, further development of experimental methods, and investigations in relation to particular combinations of engine and airscrew.
