Probabilistic Design of HPT Blade-Tip Radial Running Clearance with Distributed Collaborative Response Surface Method

Abstract

To develop the high-performance high-reliability of aeroengine, the probabilistic design of high-pressure turbine (HPT) blade-tip radial running clearance (BTRRC) with three objects (disk, blade, and casing) and two disciplines (heat and mechanical loads) was completed based on distributed collaborative response surface method (DCRSM) from a probabilistic perspective considering dynamic loads and nonlinear material properties. The mathematical model of DCRSM was established based on the quadratic response surface function. The basic idea of BTRRC probabilistic design based on DCRSM was introduced. The BTRRC probabilistic analysis results, consisting of the probabilistic distribution characteristics of input-output variables, the failure probability, and reliability of BTRRC under different static blade-tip clearances
