    摘要: Aerofoils (22) of a gas turbine engine are provided with a coating (34) or filler (44) of viscoelastic material. As ice accretes on the aerofoils (22) during operation, the resulting aerodynamic stability imbalance induces vibration in the aerofoils (22). The viscoelastic material (34, 44) damps this vibration, and in so doing generates heat, which melts the ice away from the aerofoils (22). Heat-conducting members conduct the heat to regions of the component in which ice accretion is to be prevented. Alternative embodiments are described in which the pseudoelastic behaviour of a shape memory alloy (56), or eddy currents arising from the rotor blades' rotation in an axisymmetric magnetic field, are used as sources of heat.

    摘要: With regard to hollow blades for turbine engines, it will be understood there is a problem with respect to percussive impact resulting in excessive distortion of the blade as well as potential failure as a result of blade tip bulging. By provision of ridges 107, 207, 307 which coincide and engage each other under impact, the extent of impact deformation is limited as well as a result of the narrowing between the ridges, a reduction in the possibility for fragmentary insert movement to bulge the cavity towards the tip 102, 202, 302 of a blade 100, 200, 300.

    摘要: A fan blade for a gas turbine engine has an aerofoil part and a root part. The root part includes a root former; the root former 18 includes a zone of weakness, which reduces the ability of the root part to withstand an impact force. Thus, in an impact situation in which the fan blade has separated from the fan rotor and the fan blade has itself separated into fragments, the root part will fracture or buckle more easily than would be the case with conventional arrangements. This will lower the impact force of the root part upon the fan casing, thus permitting the fan casing to be designed to withstand lower impact forces. The fan casing can therefore be made lighter, and cheaper, than in conventional arrangements.

    摘要: Blade assemblies are provided in a number of forms. These blade assemblies may have blades secured to disks (blisk), rings (bling) and drums (blum). The blades and/or the rotor elements formed by these rings, drums or disks can fragment and it is necessary to contain such fragments within a casing. Impact energy has a significant effect upon the necessary thickness of the casing to ensure containment. By providing blades as well as rotor elements which incorporate discontinuities which provide flexing under impact, energy is absorbed prior to further fragmentation upon impact engagement with a casing surface; flexing is about the discontinuity. In such circumstances casings may be thinner and therefore significant weight savings achieved with regard to aircraft incorporating gas turbine engines having blade assemblies with discontinuities.

    摘要: An annulus filler (101) is provided for mounting to a rotor disc (102) of a gas turbine engine and for bridging the gap between two adjacent blades attached to the rotor disc (102). The annulus filler (101) has an outer part (106) which defines an airflow surface for air being drawn through the engine, and a separate, support part (105) which is connectable to the outer part (106) and to the rotor disc (102) to support the outer part (106) on the lo rotor disc (102). The outer (106) and support parts (105) are configured to allow a procedure for mounting the annulus filler (101) to the rotor disc (102). In a first step the support part (105) is connected to the rotor disc (102) without the outer part (106), and in a subsequent second step the outer part (106) is connected to the support part (105).

    摘要: With regard to components it is necessary to test specimens of materials in order to determine acceptability for objective component performance. Previously such testing generally involved fixing and clamping of the test specimen which produced artificial stressing conditions. By providing a specimen component typically in the form of an elongate member which is suspended between mounting ends a combination is provided which has inertia. In such circumstances when a projectile impacts upon the elongate member that elongate member flexes and deforms and this deformation can be monitored for testing purposes. The projectile is arranged to have a relatively facile compliant nature upon impact with the component such that there is no local stressing of the component whilst suspending the mounting ends substantially avoids clamp resilience distorting objective or realistic stressing conditions.

    摘要: Reduction in weight is an important factor with respect to turbine engines used in aircraft. Blades (20) used in such turbine engines may fragment such that it is necessary that the containment casing (42) can resist such fragmentation. Root portions of blades are generally less deformable and therefore require conventionally more robust containment casings. Use of super plastically formed blades allows provision of slots (4, 14, 24, 46) in the root portion which facilitate fragmentation and deformation by the root portion under impact reducing the necessity for greater reinforcement of the containment casing. The slots (4, 14, 24, 24, 46) are created in a membrane utilised for web reinforcement of the blade rather than through intrusive drilling and cutting processes which may introduce machining stresses into their creation and potential tool loss within the high value blade. Additionally, by providing such slots (4, 14, 24, 46) it will be appreciated that the cavity formed within the blade may be sealed without additional machining or other processes.
