14 results about "Foreign object damage" patented technology

In aviation, foreign object debris (FOD) is any article or substance, alien to an aircraft or system, which could potentially cause damage. External FOD hazards include bird strikes, hail, ice, sandstorms, ash-clouds or objects left on the runway. Internal FOD hazards include items left in the cockpit that interfere with flight safety by getting tangled in control cables, jam moving parts or short-out electrical connections.

An aero-engine blade vulnerable area division method, system, device and storage medium

ActiveCN119808465BGeometric CADSustainable transportationForeign object damageLeading edge
The application provides an aero-engine blade vulnerable area division method, system, device and storage medium. First, numerical models of various real aero-engine blades are established, modal analysis is performed by using finite element analysis software, the sizes of leading edge cross sections under the first three modes are compared, and a numerical model with a thinner cross section is selected and marked as a dangerous numerical model. Then, a dangerous mode of the dangerous numerical model is selected according to the dynamic stress test result, and the position of the corresponding maximum stress point under the dangerous mode is the vulnerable area of the corresponding real blade. The above division method can find the weak parts of the blade vulnerable to damage before the foreign object damage experiment, has good operability and good interpretability, accelerates the experimental process, and greatly reduces the cost of the experiment.

Method for reducing foreign matter damage caused by rotation of valve element and valve body

PendingCN121474366APlug valvesValve housingsForeign matterForeign object damage
The invention relates to a method for reducing foreign matter damage caused by rotation of a valve element and a valve body.The method comprises the following steps that sealing structures are rotationally arranged in an inlet and an outlet of a shell of the valve element, and the sealing structures are in sealing fit with the valve element and can freely rotate in the inlet and the outlet; a transmission structure is arranged between the valve element and the sealing structure and can push the sealing structure to rotate when the valve element rotates. According to the technical scheme, when the valve element rotates, the transmission structure drives the sealing structure to rotate in the inlet or the outlet, when the valve element rotates and extrudes sundries, the sealing structure rotates to take the sundries away from the contact face, in other words, the sealing structure unloads force through rotation, support to the sundries is relieved, and the sealing effect is improved. And damage of foreign matters to the sealing structure in the rotating process of the valve element is reduced.
