Finite element analysis of metal matrix composite blade

TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed the failure strength of the compressor rotor blade of a gas turbine engine using ANSYS software for determining its failure strength by simulating the actual service conditions.
Abstract
In this work, compressor rotor blade of a gas turbine engine has been analyzed for stress, maximum displacement and natural frequency using ANSYS software for determining its failure strength by simulating the actual service conditions Static stress analysis and modal analysis have been carried out using Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which is currently used in compressor blade The results are compared with those obtained using Ti matrix composites reinforced with SiC The advantages of using metal matrix composites in the gas turbine compressor blades are investigated From the analyses carried out, it seems that composite rotor blades have lesser mass, lesser tip displacement and lower maximum stress values
