High-temperature impact test device and method for engine blade
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of structural mechanics tests, and particularly relates to a high-temperature impact test device and method for an engine blade.
Background
Aero-engine blades are typically in a high temperature service environment, with material properties and structural integrity facing serious challenges. The high temperature not only exacerbates the material degradation of the blade, but may also induce more complex damage patterns under the impact of foreign objects. In order to ensure the normal operation and safety of the aeroengine in the high-temperature environment, the impact mechanical properties of the engine blade in the high-temperature environment need to be obtained, and the dynamic mechanical behaviors and failure mechanisms of the engine blade in the high-temperature service environment need to be analyzed.
The air cannon method has high simulation precision and strong repeatability, is considered as a test method capable of accurately simulating foreign object impact, and is widely applied at home and abroad. In recent years, a great deal of test research is carried out on the aspect of simulating damage of foreign matters on blades by using an air cannon at home and abroad, but the air cannon basically stays at a normal temperature level, test means and data under a high temperature environment are relatively deficient, and simulated impact is mainly caused by objects with larger sizes such as birds, hail, broken stones and the like. Less research is conducted on coating falling objects and fine sand impact in the working process of the engine. The existing test method cannot meet the influence test requirement of fine particulate impact on the performance of the engine blade in a high-temperature environment.
It is therefore desirable to have a solution that overcomes or at least alleviates at least one of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art.
