  • By adjusting three parameters—bird impact speed, impact position, and engine speed, the transient bird-strike response of the fan blades of the CFM56-7B high-bypass-ratio civil turbofan engine was analyzed by explicit-dynamics simulation. Results showed that for impact speeds of 60, 80, and 130 m/s, the peak Mises stress occurred at about 4.2—4.3 ms. Longer impact duration and smaller axial-relative velocity caused more severe cumulative damage. Impact position changed the peak moment and the stress distribution. At 30%, 50%, and 80% of blade length the stress peaks occurred at about 2.6, 4.1, and 4.2 ms, respectively. An impact at 50% blade length produced stress concentration at the blade root. Engine speed was positively correlated with the damage; peak stress increased markedly at high speeds. Under the conditions of a mass of 1.85 kg, a speed of 130 m/s, and an engine speed of 5175 r/min, the damage from a bird striking the outer casing was much greater than that from a strike on the inlet fairing. This damage presented as circumferential stress concentration and local plastic damage at the blade tip.
