Numerical and experimental analysis of compressor’s jet engine blade joint including the model parameterization

Abstract

Presented is the strength analysis of three variants of the compressor’s jet engine blade joint whose final geometry was created using the ANSYS optimization module. Parameterization of the blade foot and rim geometry has been introduced and a comparative analysis of the selected geometry in terms of strength has been performed. In addition, results from the experimental analysis of the substitute models of blade joint with using the digital image correlation system were presented.
