As the power source of an aircraft, aero-engine tends to meet many rigorous requirements for high thrust-weight ratio and reliability with the continuous improvement of aero-engine performance. In this paper, based on the order statistics and stochastic process theory, an improved dynamic load-strength interference (LSI) model was proposed for the reliability analysis of aero-engine rotor blade system, with strength degradation and catastrophic failure involved. In presented model, the “unconventional active” characteristic of rotor blade system, changeable functioning relationships and system-component configurations, was fully considered, which is necessary for both theoretical analysis and engineering application. In addition, to reduce the computation cost, a simplified form of the improved LSI model was also built for convenience of engineering application. To verify the effectiveness of the improved model, reliability of turbojet 7 engine rotor blade system was calculated by the improved LSI model based on the results of static finite element analysis. Compared with the traditional LSI model, the result showed that there were significant differences between the calculation results of the two models, in which the improved model was more appropriate to the practical condition.

The water guided laser micro-jet (LMJ) is a new potential method to machine aero engine parts with much less heat affected area and faster cutting speed than dry laser machining. The focus of this paper is to investigate the energy density and material removal for a dual-laser LMJ system. Then, the effects of dominated parameters on the energy density of LMJ are analyzed. Finally, a mathematical model is developed to describe the relationship between dominant laser parameters with the energy density of LMJ and material removal rate followed by machining case studies of aero engine components.

This paper aims to provide an assembly method to improve mechanical assembly quality. In order to improve the variation propagation control in rotationally symmetric cylindrical components assembly, the eccentric and tilt errors of a single rotor stage were taken into account using a connective assembly model and the eccentric deviation in a mechanical assembly was minimized by properly selecting component orientations. Compared to the minimum cumulative error, the maximum cumulative error was reduced by 71 percent, and the average cumulative error was reduced by 57 percent in the assembly of three components. This article provides an assembly method through variation propagation control in rotationally symmetric cylindrical components assembly. The method could be extended to rotationally symmetric cylindrical components assembly, for example in the assembly of aero-engine components.

This paper highlights some engine non-linearities that can affect both performance and robustness of aero engines. It pays particular attention to non-linearities generated at the stator vane contact end joints. These non-linearities resulting from friction contact joints affect the vane modeshapes, damping and forced response. This work proposes upper and lower bound solutions based on vane end restraints non-linearities to predict conservative forced response of stator vanes. Some non-linearities such as those caused by mistuning can be beneficial to the component and system. There are also non-linearities that can be detrimental to engine performance, robustness and reliability. Moreover, it proposes and discusses the concept of temporal HCF or CCF lifing method. Recent developments in FE, CFD, mistuning, forced response and probabilistic codes can help to create more integrated design tools that incorporate time-dependent non-linearities in the lifing of aero engine components. Computations performed here demonstrated some level of component virtual testing. These analyses are important component virtual testing that will be gradually extended to whole aero engine virtual testing.

Abstract The eccentricity of rotor seriously affect the vibration and reliability of aero-engine. Due to the machining error of parts, it is very important to accurately predict the error propagation in assembly. A method based on image recognition and machine learning is proposed to predict the eccentricity of rotor. Firstly, by analyzing and calculating the axial and radial runout error data, the error is mainly concentrated in the first 30 orders of the Fourier series. Secondly, based on the mapping relationship between profile trajectory and eccentricity of rotor, the feature information of the profile trajectory is extracted by constructing the complex domain autoregressive (CAR) model for the radial and axial direction error profile trajectory. Then use the finite element method to calculate the rotor eccentricity. Using the feature information as the input of the neural network, the rotor eccentricity is assembled as the output of the neural network, and the radial basis function (RBF) neural network is built to predict the rotor eccentricity. Theoretical and experimental results show that the proposed method has good enforceability, high accuracy, short calculation time and high engineering application value. In addition, this method can not only be applied to predict the eccentricity of aero-engine rotor flange assembly, but also can be used in the general field of interference fit of assembly.
