Study Notes
Moment Response - Angular Acceleration
- Rolling moment equation: ṗIx + qr (Iz - Iy) - (r˙ + pq)Ixz = L
- When gyro and coupling terms are small, simplify to ṗIx = L.
- Larger moment of inertia about the roll axis (Ix) results in smaller roll acceleration.
Moment Response - Gyroscopic Precession
- Gyroscopic precession involves rotation at an angle relative to the axis.
- Occurs from angular momentum combined with an applied moment or torque.
Moment Response - Gyroscopic Precession Example
- In a rolling pull-up maneuver, with negligible angular acceleration and coupling terms, the equation reduces to −Iy qr = L.
- Positive rolling moment (e.g., from ailerons) leads to negative yaw rate (r), causing adverse yaw.
Moment Response - Coupling Terms
- Coupling terms define inertial relationships, illustrating how disturbances in one axis can affect others.
- Incorporate inertial products like Ixy to represent asymmetries in inertial resistance.
Moment Response - Coupling Terms Example
- Pitching moment equation simplifies to p² Ixz = -Iy q̇ when ignoring gyro precession and yaw rate.
- Negative Ixz means off-axis mass distribution is more rearward, predicting a roll will induce pitch up (roll coupling).
Applied Moments
- Applied moments consist of rolling, pitching, and yawing moments from aerodynamic forces (LA, MA, NA) and thrust (LF, MF, NF).
- Weight vector does not contribute as it aligns with the center of mass.
- The moment equations total six:
- ṗIx + qr (Iz - Iy) - (r˙ + pq)Ixz = LA + LF
- q̇Iy + pr (Iz - Ix) + (p² - r²)Ixz = MA + MF
- r˙Iz + pq(Iy - Ix) + (qr - ṗ)Ixz = NA + NF
Longitudinal Equations of Motion
- Three primary equations govern longitudinal (x-z) plane motion, including forces and moments.
- Key equations involve:
- m (u̇ + qw - rv) = -mg sin(Θ) + [-W cos(α) + A sin(α)] + F cos(iF)
- q̇Iy + pr (Iz - Ix) + (p² - r²)Ixz = MA + MF
- m (ẇ + pv - qu) = mg cos(Φ) cos(Θ) + [-W sin(α) - A sin(α)] - F sin(iF)
Lateral Equations of Motion
- Remaining equations address lateral forces and moments:
- ṗIx + qr (Iz - Iy) - (r˙ + pq)Ixz = LA + LF
- m (v̇ + ru - pv) = mg sin(Φ) cos(Θ) + RAY + RFY
- r˙Iz + pq(Iy - Ix) + (qr - ṗ)Ixz = NA + NF
Kinematic Equations
- Three additional kinematic equations close the motion equations due to extra unknowns from Euler angles.
- Establish relationship between rotational moments and Euler angles.
Kinematic Conditions
- Magnitudes of body rotation rates should equal magnitudes of the Euler rates: Ω f = p î + q ĵ + r k̂ = Ψ + Θ + Φ.
- Consistent relationship: p² + q² + r² = Ψ̇² + Θ̇² + Φ̇².
Coordinate Transforms
- Use coordinate transformation matrices to switch angular rate vectors between Earth and body axes.
- Transformations defined for each Euler angle, ensuring correct rotational sequence.
Required Kinematic Equations
- Essential kinematic equations to determine body rates:
- p = -sin(Θ)Ψ̇ + Φ̇
- q = sin(Φ) cos(Θ)Ψ̇ + cos(Φ)Θ̇
- r = cos(Φ) cos(Θ)Ψ̇ - sin(Φ)Θ̇
Kinematic Equations Example
- Given:
- Ψ = 0 degrees, Ψ̇ = 10 degrees/s
- Θ = 0 degrees, Θ̇ = 0 degrees/s
- Φ = 90 degrees, Φ̇ = 0 degrees/s
- Calculate body rates based on provided Euler angles and rates.
