A novel compilation method of comprehensive mission spectrum of aero-engine maneuvering load based on use-related mission segment

Abstract

Comprehensive Mission Spectrum (CMS) of an aero-engine can reflect the usage characteristics of the engine. It can provide load input for engine life prediction and accelerated mission test. In this paper, a novel compilation method of CMS of aero-engine maneuvering load based on mission segment is proposed. Firstly, the use-related Typical Mission Segment (TMS) of maneuvering load is divided and identified according to spectral characteristics. Secondly, the mathematical model of different kinds of TMS are established based on stochastic process theory. Finally, the CMS of maneuvering load is compiled based on TMS. The proposed method can accurately quantify the compilation of CMS. The compiled CMS shows good agreement with the original load spectrum. According to damage consistency inspection, the compiled CMS is consistent with the damage caused by the original load spectrum in terms of low cycle fatigue.
