Influence of Laminate Scheme on Design of Continuous Fiber Reinforced Composite Turbofan Engine Shaft

Abstract:

Advanced materials and processes are required to meet the performance goals in the design of advanced turbofan engine, SiC/Ti composite is typically used in low pressure turbine shaft (LPTS). Firstly, establish the viability and effectiveness of composite cylinder assemblage (CCA) micro-mechanics model and representative volume element (RVE) micro-mechanics model which are utilized to calculate the mechanical parameter of continuous fiber reinforced metal matrix composite (CFRMMC), respectively. Results show that RVE model is more applicable to calculate continuous fiber reinforced LPTS. Secondly, parameters of mechanics performance calculated by RVE model are taken as input to build mechanics analysis model of fiber reinforced metal matrix composite shaft structure. The optimal solution will be got by design and analysis of CFRMMC shaft structure with 2 kinds of loads. Compared with deformation and stress of shaft structure with different material scheme, then an optimization scheme of SCS/Ti2AlNb composite of LPTS can be obtained.
