Vibration failure of blade affects the reliability of aero-engine. According to vibration analysis and modal test
a vibration calculation model of blade was established with the finite element method. Considering the fluid-solid interaction
a flow channel model of the rotating blade was constructed
and computational fluid dynamics was employed to compute the aerodynamic load on the blade surface under some rated conditions then was imported to the vibration model to calculate the static frequency
dynamic frequency and vibration responses of the blade at different rotational speeds. It is found that the resonance appears for several times between 2 000 and 3 600 r/min. And the further analyses for the blade vibration mode as well as dynamic stress at these speeds show that the vibration stress at critical speed is obviously higher than those at the adjacent speeds when the blade resonates
but there is no positive correlation between the peak vibration stress and critical speed. The peak vibration stress distribution is closely related to the modal shape of the blade
however
it always appears at the leading edge and changes along the blade height
and the leading edge of the blade is most prone to vibration fatigue.
