Excessively high exhaust gas temperatures, exceeding the material's operating temperature, significantly reduce its reliability and efficiency. Therefore, ultracooled blades with irregularly shaped film-forming holes and complex heat exchange structures at small scales have become the preferred structural form for high-performance engine turbine blades. According to engine blade failure modes, high-order blade resonance under long-term operation can cause film-forming hole location 10... 9 High-cycle fatigue failure under multiple cycles necessitates obtaining the ultra-high-cycle fatigue strength of turbine blades with irregularly shaped film-coated holes. However, existing research on the strength-life design of turbine blades with irregularly shaped film-coated holes is limited, and the design methods for strength-life need further improvement.

A high-frequency induction vibration table is used to fix one end of the test fixture 1 holding the small sample, while the other end is left as a free end. A vibration stress distribution test is carried out at room temperature under preset test conditions to determine the location of the maximum vibration stress in the irregular air film hole region and the amplitude-strain equation of the location of the maximum vibration stress at room temperature. The preset test conditions include test temperature and number of cycles. Based on the ratio of the elastic modulus of the turbine blade at different temperatures, the amplitude-strain equation at the location of maximum vibration stress at room temperature is transformed into the amplitude-strain equation of a small sample at the operating temperature. Based on the amplitude-strain equation of the small sample, the fatigue strength of the small sample at the position of maximum vibration stress is obtained by using the rise and fall method.
