The use of composite materials in modern aircraft and rocket engines is one of the most promising areas. Low density and high strength characteristics of composite materials are crucial when choosing a material for small-sized compressors. The main ability to bear the load of the composite material is provided by the reinforcing fibers of the filler. The greater the percentage of filler fibers has a particular orientation, the higher the strength and rigidity of the product in this direction. If the part is loaded with forces applied primarily in one or two directions, it makes sense to create a material with anisotropy of properties that will exactly match the applied loads. For example, the disk and blades of a centrifugal compressor operate under the action of centrifugal force and gas pressure. In this case, to manufacture a centrifugal compressor impeller from composite materials, it is only necessary to redistribute the fibers in the part space in such a way as to create an optimal anisotropy of properties. This article describes the procedure for selecting the optimal orientation of reinforcing fibers in the impeller of a centrifugal compressor of a small gas turbine engine.

The high-loaded centrifugal compressor blisk-type impeller, one of the main low-sized gas-turbine engine components, strongly affects engine efficiency. However, its design is a time-consuming and complex task for several reasons, including its high loading, the large number of structural and technological constraints, and the variety of requirements needed for application to a gas-turbine engine centrifugal compressor impeller (e.g., increased efficiency and strength, minimized weight requirements, etc.). The imposition of several constraints for structure modification of the centrifugal wheels can improve one characteristic but can worsen others. The standard solution for this problem is to use an iterative approach, whereby the design process is reduced to a consistent set of impeller element design problem statements and decisions; these are separate for different analysis disciplines. The main drawbacks to this approach are that it is labor intensive and can cause deterioration of the design quality because this procedure does not consider the design object as a unit. The present work considers a centrifugal compressor wheel design approach based on the use of an integrated multidisciplinary parameterized 3D model. This model includes a number of specialized sub-models that describe the necessary design areas as well as physical process features and phenomena occurring in the designed object. The model also realizes the integration and interaction of sub-models used in an integrated computing space. The proposed approach allows the optimization of the structure based on several criteria, such as the mass of the wheel, stage efficiency, strength, economic indicators, etc. The result of multi-criteria optimization is not a single product design, but a set of optimal Pareto points, which describes a number of centrifugal wheel models. The optimal configuration is selected from this set, based on what is considered the most important criterion. Optimization criteria may vary depending on the problem formulation, but the design technology, parameterization scheme, and choice of multidisciplinary integrated mathematical model are retained. Therefore, in the case of a product requirement correction, a new optimal design will require less time. In aggregate, with the nonlinear constrained optimization application, this approach reduces the total time of the design cycle, decreases development costs, and improves quality.

Nickel-chromium alloys have been in use since early in this century for high temperature applications because of their resistance to oxidation. Since the advent of the gas-turbine engine, more complex alloys capable of maintaining high strength at elevated temperatures have been developed from the simple binary system. These complex alloys were initially mainly strengthened by the precipitation of the Ni3(Ti, Al) phase but more recent alloys have been further strengthened by additions of cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, and tantalum. The properties and applications of these alloys are discussed.

The application of casting technologies in the production of parts and assemblies of small-size gas turbine engines is justified in the paper. The technology of vacuum casting in gypsum molds was tested during the production of an experimental centrifugal compressor of a small-size gas turbine engine. On the basis of a 3D model of the designed centrifugal compressor, computational studies of vacuum casting were carried out and rational parameters of the technological process were determined. Prototypes of the developed centrifugal compressor of a small-size gas turbine engine were made. The results of calculations and the performed technological experiment confirmed the fill rate of the gating form and the absence of short pour. The distribution of shrinkage porosity and cavities corresponds to the design values and is concentrated in the central part of the casting that is subjected to subsequent machining. The area of the blades, disc and sleeve is formed without defects. The use of casting technologies in the production of parts and assemblies of small-size gas turbine engines assures the required quality with a comparatively low price of the finished product, making it possible to achieve the balance between the cost of the technology and the quality of the product made according to this technology.

The motor shaft of a gas turbine engine, being a highly loaded part of a particularly critical purpose, has increased requirements for maintaining the level of properties during long-term operation, ensuring the structural strength of the product. An increase in the resource and durability of the product is achieved due to the development of new materials that surpass the used domestic and foreign analogues in their mechanical characteristics. FSUE «VIAM» has deve-loped high-strength structural steels with enhanced characteristics of strength, toughness, durability and heat resistance.

High strength materials have been used for critical components in order to ensure the reliability of aircraft gas turbine engine. But it usually costs high to maintain their premium quality. Therefore, the optimum quality level of materials should be defined under operating condition by material property estimation technique in order to meet the requirement of reliability and economical efficiency. Most cast rotating parts of gas turbine engine have casting defects caused during the casting process. The casting defects less than certain acceptable limit can be permissible for usage. So, it is very important to understand material defect shape and distribution, and its effect on mechanical properties exactly. In this study, 17-4PH stainless steel specimens with variable internal casting defects were prepared to investigate the fatigue property characteristics. The defect fraction and condition were estimated in microstructure by statistical analysis. The correlation between estimated defect condition and fatigue property was discussed.

Block-modular gas compressor units (GCU) of a container type with an aircraft and ship gasturbine drive – a power source of vibration and noise pollution of environment. Their basic inner sources – gas turbine engine and a centrifugal compressor. Besides, to power noise sources in the structure of GCU belong multiplier, an air cleaner of the air inlet system, an exhaust shaft, section walls of an engine and a compressor. A gas turbine engine and a compressor define mainly a distant sound field and the rest of noise sources – near-in one. A complex modernization of such plants may be carried out on the basis of the investigations of the level of vibrations and noise of all elements of such units. With this purpose there were carried out inves-tigations of vibro-acoustic characteristics of GCU of GCU-16MG type with the capacity of 16 MW where as a drive of the centrifugal compressor of 370-18-1 NZL type serves a ship convertible engine of DG-90 type produced by “Zarya” Co. Noise sources and vibrations of blade machines are studied, their vibro-acoustic characteristics are analyzed and methods for the decrease of vibro-acoustic activities of GCUs of such a type are offered.
