The material density of the rotor shaft in aircraft design refers to the mass per unit volume of the material from which the rotor shaft is constructed. It is a critical parameter for calculating the mass and weight of the rotor shaft and other components of the aircraft’s rotor system.
The formula to calculate the material density is as follows:
- Material Density is the density of the material, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Mass of Rotor Shaft is the total mass of the rotor shaft, measured in kilograms (kg).
- Volume of Rotor Shaft is the total volume of the rotor shaft, typically measured in cubic meters (m³).
