Abstract
As for A rotary wing aircraft, the configuration change about split yaw swaged rod was executed to improve hit treat capability for dealing with a long rod. The purpose of this study was to analyze if or not the quality of the split yaw swaged rod was obtained, and so the flight safety was ensured or not. Buckling analysis, Coupling Thread Strength Analysis, Thermal Stress analysis and Rod Natural Frequency Analysis were executed for structural analysis. The results of the analysis were presented that the split rod had the sufficient margin of safety and so there were no anomalies in the limit load and no failures in the ultimate load. And there were no resonances in result of natural frequency analysis. In conclusion, this study showed that the split yaw swaged rod had structural safety, so flight safety of rotary wing aircraft was secured and there was no problem in aircraft operation. It is certain that the technology of splitting the yaw swage rod will contribute to the operational Safety of the rotary wing aircraft in the future.
