Fracture analysis of turbine rotor blades in an aircraft engine
-
摘要:
针对某型航空发动机在试验过程中出现涡轮转子叶片断裂故障的情况,通过外观检查、荧光检测、能谱分析、强度分析、叶片振动分析等手段对故障涡轮转子进行了研究。研究发现:排除外物损伤、材质缺陷、铸造工艺缺陷等因素,经叶片断口检查确认了叶片断裂故障模式为疲劳失效;通过仿真分析手段,最终锁定了叶片疲劳失效的原因为离心载荷、热载荷作用所产生的静应力与经过燃烧室蒸发管的高频气流激励引起的振动应力共同叠加所致。提出减少燃烧室蒸发管数目,加厚涡轮转子叶片尾缘厚度的方案,降低了气流激励频率,使得全转速范围内叶片固有频率与激励频率无交点,避免了涡轮转子叶片因共振而导致疲劳故障。
Abstract:In response to the occurrence of turbine rotor blade fracture failures during the testing process of an aeroengine, research on the failed turbine rotor was conducted through visual inspection, fluorescence detection, energy spectrum analysis, strength analysis, and blade vibration analysis. It was found that after eliminating factors such as foreign object damage, material defects, and casting process defects, the fracture failure mode of the blade was confirmed as fatigue failure through blade fracture inspection. Through simulation analysis, it was ultimately determined that the cause of blade fatigue failure was the combined effects of static stress generated by centrifugal load and thermal load, and vibration stress caused by high-frequency airflow excitation through the combustion chamber evaporation tube. A scheme was proposed to reduce the number of combustion chamber evaporation tubes and thicken the trailing edge of the turbine rotor blades, reducing the flow excitation frequency so that there was no intersection between the natural frequency of the blades and the excitation frequency within the full speed range, thus avoiding fatigue failure of the turbine rotor blades due to resonance.
