Blade Accessories TRIZ Cases
- Ceramic Matrix Composite Surface Grading for FOD Resistance
Intumescent expansion in outer CMC layers redistributes fibers, lowers surface modulus, and improves FOD resistance without weakening EBC adhesion.
- Radial Turbine Impeller Hub Shape for Blade Count and Throat Area
A convex hub line and mixed long-short blades raise blade count while preserving throat area, support stiffness, and adiabatic efficiency.
- Nested Boundary-Layer Turbomachine for Multiphase Energy Extraction
Concentrically nested rotors use boundary-layer flow and fluid bearings to extract low-grade heat energy with lower loss and structural load.
- Hydrophobic Coating for Turbine Hot Gas Path Corrosion Control
Hydrophobic and thermal barrier coatings help turbine hot gas path parts resist steam-driven corrosion and icing while supporting waste heat recovery.
- Composite Fan Blade Ply Drop Orientation for Impact Resistance
Angled ply drop lines near the blade tip improve bird and hail impact resistance, enabling thinner composite fan blades.
- Composite Fan Blade Ply Drop Orientation for Bird Impact Resistance
Transverse ply drop orientation strengthens composite fan blades against bird and hail impacts while preserving low weight and aerodynamic shape.
- Composite Turbine Airfoil Wrap for Stronger Ply Edge Support
A composite wrap over spar-core ply edges improves lamination, impact resistance, and strength while keeping turbine airfoils lightweight.
