摘要:
The present invention relieves the stress at a fillet of a blade shank using at least one axially extending pocket on the shank near an axially extending fillet of a shank to root interface or a shank to platform interface on a pressure or suction side of the blade and the pocket is axially shorter than the fillet. The stress relief pocket has a radially extending pocket width that is substantially wider than a fillet width between generally axially extending edges of the fillet wherein the pocket width may be several times wider than the fillet width. The wider pocket shields the fillet thereby reducing the stress concentration at the fillet.

A rotor blade for a turbine engine including a blade root section and an airfoil section which extends radially outward along a radial line RAS from the blade root section, is described. The radial line RAS extends at an angle relative to a plane extending across a top surface of the platform, rather than normal, or perpendicular, to such plane. As a result, and during a blade out event, an over turning moment is generated in a root of the airfoil section. The overturning moment facilitates bending the airfoil section reducing damage to the stator.

A rotor disk includes a rim with axially spaced apart forward and aft ends, with the aft end having a larger diameter than the forward end. The rim includes a plurality of straight dovetail slots defining dovetail posts therebetween. Each dovetail post includes a pair of lobes, a neck, and first and second pressure faces facing radially inwardly from the lobes. The first and second pressure faces vary in radial height therebetween from a first magnitude at the rim aft end to a second and smaller magnitude at the rim forward end to shift a portion of the bending loads from the dovetail post at the rim forward end to the dovetail post at the larger rim aft end.
摘要:
A method is provided for assembling a measurement device for use in measuring a machine component. The method includes providing a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). The method also includes combining ultrasonic inspection (UT) capabilities and CMM capabilities to form an inspection probe. The inspection probe is installed on the CMM so that the inspection probe measures external boundaries of the machine component with the CMM capabilities and substantially simultaneously measures internal boundaries of the machine component with the UT capabilities.
