Numerical Simulation of Residual Stresses and Structural Vibration of Welding Repaired Blades

Abstract

Abstract Taking a typical aero-engine high-pressure compressor blade as the research object, the Gauss heat source was used to numerically simulate the repair process of blade surfacing welding. The temperature data and stress data of the blade were obtained when the heat source velocity was 1 mm/s, 2 mm/s, and 4 mm/s, respectively. The results showed that both the temperature and stress values decreased with the heat source velocity increasing. Then, the residual stress of the repaired blade is introduced into the modal analysis module as prestress, and the Campbell diagram is drawn to analyze the natural frequency and speed margin of the blade respectively. The results show that as the heat source speed increases, the frequencies of each order of the blade decrease. The speed margin of each resonance point is greater than 10%, and the modal dynamic stress corresponding to the resonance speed can be used as the primary criterion for blade failure.
