Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fatigue crack blade, especially to a bladed disc containing fatigue crack blade and equipment for making fatigue crack blade. BACKGROUND

[0002] Compressor blade is a key component of rotating aero-engine safety and efficiency, and plays an important role in improving the comprehensive performance of aero-engine. Under high speed, high load and complex working environment, the blade is prone to fatigue cracks. If the crack cannot be found and treated in time, the fatigue crack will continue to expand under the action of cyclic stress, leading to serious failure such as compressor blade fracture, causing major safety accidents, personnel casualties and major economic losses. Therefore, fatigue crack threatens the safe operation of aero-engine, and accurate identification of its failure is an important way to ensure the safe operation of aero-engine.

[0003] The structure damage identification technology based on vibration has the advantages of real-time, high efficiency and strong environmental adaptability, and has been widely used in the field of crack fault diagnosis. In order to identify the crack fault of compressor blade by using vibration characteristics, researchers have carried out extensive research on vibration characteristics more sensitive to crack damage. Experimental research is an important research method and an important basis for evaluating the effectiveness of theoretical research. Due to the limitation of site, cost, technology and other conditions, it is very difficult for researchers to directly use aero-engine to carry out vibration experiment of crack blade. At present, experimental table is generally used to carry out experiment, and vibration characteristics of crack fault are studied. However, in these experimental processes, it is found that the crack of blade in all the literatures is not actual fatigue crack, but linear cutting notch is used to simulate fatigue crack, which is not consistent with the actual fatigue crack blade. From the existing literature, such as "Fatigue and Fracture" edited by Chen Chuan-yao of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in January 2002, section 9.2 describes the crack closure phenomenon and theory in detail. Research shows that fatigue crack will have obvious crack closure phenomenon, which cannot be simulated by linear cutting notch. Some scholars have indicated in the literature that linear cutting notch will introduce great error and affect the accuracy of experimental results, such as the article "The dynamic behavior of slender structures with cross-sectional cracks" published in the journal "JOURNAL OF THE MECHANICS AND PHYSICS OF SOLIDS" in 2010. The article studies the influence of fatigue crack closure on beam vibration through experimental research, and the results show that the analysis results without considering the influence of crack closure are different from the experimental results. However, since the vibration test of crack blade involves the cross fields of fatigue crack propagation and vibration, at present, there is no effective method to make fatigue crack blade.
