Method for evaluating FOD resistance of aero-engine blade
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of aero-engine blade performance testing.
Background
In the taking-off and landing process of an airplane on a runway or an aircraft carrier deck, an aircraft engine running at a high rotating speed often sucks hard objects such as stones, gravels, bolts, metal fragments and the like, the relative speed of the foreign objects entering the engine and the blades of the air compressor can reach 100-350 m/s, and serious impact damage can be caused to the blades of the air compressor in the previous stages, particularly the front edges of the blades. In the prior art, the Damage caused by hard objects such as metal, sand and stone impacting the engine is called as Foreign Object Damage (FOD for short, Foreign Object Damage)
If the damaged blade is not found and treated in time, fatigue fracture failure may occur under high-frequency vibration, and the flying-off blade may break through a casing and even destroy the blades of the later stages of the compressor, thereby causing serious flight accidents. Therefore, the influence rule of foreign object damage on the fatigue strength of the blade material is explored, and the foreign object damage resistance of the blade is evaluated, so that the evaluation method is a part which is not ignored in the design of the blade of the aero-engine.
At present, the Foreign Object Damage (FOD) resistance of the blades of the aero-engine is evaluated at home mainly by referring to relevant regulations in standards such as American military computer MIL-HDBK-1783B and the like, and the minimum fatigue notch coefficient K equivalent to the minimum is evaluated on the blades after the foreign objects are sucked into the blades of the aero-enginefIf the engine is operating for a damage of 3, the engine can be operated for two checking periods or hours specified by the specifications. However, the root cause of the blade fracture after FOD is that the damage part formed by impact has micro-cracks, stress concentration, residual stress and microstructure damage, and the damage part is easy to become a fatigue source to generate fatigue fracture under high-cycle working load. And the high cycle fatigue failure of metal has larger dispersity, the capability of resisting foreign object damage of the blade is examined only through the number of cycles which can work after damage, and the risk of blade failure caused by foreign object damage cannot be effectively avoided.
