Reconstruction of blade tip-timing signals based on the MUSIC algorithm

TL;DR: Reconstruction conditions based on the MUSIC algorithm make the traditional MUSIC method overcome spectrum aliasing without expanding the snapshot matrix, and provides a feasible solution for the spectrum methods that cannot directly extract amplitude from the pseudo spectrum, such as the improved MUSIC, SDR-MUSIC, etc.

An investigation of fatigue failures of turbine blades in a gas turbine engine by mechanical analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a series of mechanical analyses were performed to identify the possible causes of the failures by examining anomalies in the mechanical behaviour of the turbine blade, and the steady-state stresses and dynamic characteristics of the blade were evaluated and synthesized in order to determine the cause of blade failures.

Failure analysis of Ti6Al4V gas turbine compressor blades

TL;DR: In this article, the failure mechanism of Ti6Al4V compressor blades of an industrial gas turbine was analyzed by means of both experimental characterisations and numerical simulation techniques Several premature failures occurred in the high pressure section of the compressor due to the fracture of the blade roots.
