Analysis of 1st stage compressor rotor blade stress and vibration amplitudes in one-pass jet engine

This paper considers 1st stage compressor blade dynamics in the one-pass jet engines of trainer aircraft. Research was carried out on an engine test bench using the SAD system and its results were compared with those obtained using the tensometric approach. In this paper presented basic dynamic properties of rotor blades, bench test of rotor blade dynamics, Bench tests of the dynamic behaviour of blades subjected to external impacts and then Comparison of strain gauge and SAD tip-timing results. Then discusses the results of tests assessing the accuracy of the 1987 ITWL device by comparing strain gauge signals with those recorded by SAD apparatus in a running engine. It also presented simultaneous vibration readings of all the rotor blades at selected rotation speeds. Also shows that increased stress in these blades may be due to repeated engine surges, normal and hot engine surges, entry into the engine of a foreign object. Among others selection and layout of rotor blades in the 1st stage of a one-pass engine compressor, stress amplitudes for rotor blade, stress in rotor blade, stress amplitudes, free inlet flow and smooth engine acceleration, vibration amplitudes, asynchronous vibrations are presented in the paper.
