Abstract
This paper studies the excitation of torsional vibrations by electromechanical interaction after the connection of electrical loads. Electrical generation and power system in aircraft are becoming of key importance, especially considering the current roadmap for aerospace systems' electrification. However, since the drivetrain which links electrical generators to the main engine is relatively flexible in most aircraft structures, torsional vibrations can be excited by the sudden connection or disconnection of electrical loads, thus increasing the drivetrain's fatigue and reducing its reliability and lifetime. Because of the increased amounts of intermittent electrical loads on aircraft systems, which excite torsional vibrations through electromechanical interactions, the electrical load connections are investigated in this paper. Specifically, a method for reducing torsional vibrations in aircraft drivetrains is proposed to extend their lifespan. This method is applied directly to the load being connected and it proposes the connection of the electrical loads following a pulsating pattern, for which the pulse connection time is determined as a function of the drivetrain vibration modes. Simulations results show that the proposed method provides a significant reduction in the drivetrain shaft torsional vibrations. Experimental results validate the simulation data showing the benefits this method can provide in drivetrain reliability, weight reduction and cost.
