Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of aero-engine test equipment, in particular to an integral blade disk equivalent aeroelasticity test system. Background Art

[0002] Aircraft engines are developing towards higher thrust-to-weight ratios and higher loads, placing higher demands on the dynamic performance of their components. The blisk, a key load-bearing component within the engine, is also becoming more compact and lightweight to meet the higher performance requirements. Correspondingly, the lightweight design of the blisk makes the bidirectional fluid-structure coupling effect between it and the engine more significant, and its aeroelastic dynamics issues are becoming increasingly important. However, engine test runs are expensive, involve numerous interference factors, and it is difficult to obtain accurate dynamic information about the blisk. Therefore, building an equivalent aeroelastic test bench, using ground-based excitation equipment to simulate the flow field, and studying the aeroelastic dynamics of the blisk are of great significance for the early dynamic design and online health testing of the blisk.

[0003] Most early dynamic tests on blisks failed to consider bidirectional fluid-structure interaction. Instead, they focused on the blisks' structural dynamic characteristics, such as natural frequency, structural mode shapes, and modal damping ratios, and then incorporated these structural dynamic characteristics into aeroelastic analysis using fluid-structure decoupling. This analysis method can meet engineering accuracy requirements when the blisks have a high stiffness-to-mass ratio, but it can introduce significant errors as the blisks become increasingly flexible.

[0039] Example

[0040] In this embodiment, the calculation-acquisition-control system (A) and the exciter-structure system (B) are first installed. The number and specific installation positions of the exciters and eddy current sensors need to be determined according to the number of blades of the integral blade disk test piece. The exciter is connected to the integral blade disk test piece through a top rod and a nut. The excitation direction of the exciter needs to be consistent with the acquisition direction of the eddy current sensor.

[0041] Fig. 2 The aerodynamic model in the system takes the displacement of the blade as input and the aerodynamic force as output. The aerodynamic model is obtained through analytical methods (such as aerodynamic theory under various aerodynamic states) or numerical methods (computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation and power system identification technology), and then written into a computer program.

Fig. 1Connect the various hardware parts to each other, connect the eddy current displacement sensor to the computer hardware input port, connect the computer output port to the power amplifier, and connect the power amplifier to the exciter. Give the integral blade an initial excitation to force the blade to vibrate to generate an initial motion signal. The vibration displacement of the blade is collected by the eddy current sensor and input into the aerodynamic calculation module to calculate and output real-time aerodynamic force. Then, through the power amplifier and exciter, the aerodynamic force is concentratedly loaded on the designated load point of the blade, thereby realizing the fluid-solid coupling effect of the integral blade in a real engine. During the test, Fig. 1 The data acquisition system will collect the vibration displacement signal and exciter loading force signal of the integral blade during the entire test process.
