Isogeometric simulation of turbine blades for aircraft engines

Isogeometric simulation of turbine blades for aircraft engines

Isogeometric analysis is a novel approach to numerical simulation that has the potential to bridge the gap between geometric design and numerical analysis. It uses the same exact geometry representation in all stages of the product development. In this paper we present recent results which demonstrate the competitiveness of the new concept in an industrial environment, more precisely, in the ch...

Volumetric Geometry Reconstruction of Turbine Blades for Aircraft Engines

We present a framework for generating a trivariate B-spline parametrization of turbine blades from measurement data generated by optical scanners. This new representation replaces the standard patchbased representation of industrial blade designs. In a first step, the blade surface is represented by a smoothly varying family of B-spline curves. In a second step, the blade is parametrized by a t...

An investigation on fatigue failure of turbine blades of aircraft engines by high cycles fatigue test

Thermal stress, wear and material damage produce effects of high-cycle fatigue failures in aircraft engines. The loading configuration on turbine blades of aircraft engines consists of an axial load. The axial load is the centrifugal force combined with the tensile and compressive loads, caused by the natural vibrations of the blades themselves. Low-cycle fatigue and high-cycle fatigue loading ...

Anomaly Detection in Aircraft Gas Turbine Engines

Symbolic identification for fault detection in aircraft gas turbine engines

This article presents a robust and computationally inexpensive technique of component-level fault detection in aircraft gas-turbine engines. The underlying algorithm is based on a recently developed statistical pattern recognition tool, symbolic dynamic filtering (SDF), that is built upon symbolization of sensor time series data. Fault detection involves abstraction of a language-theoretic desc...
