The manufacturing errors of the turbine rotor lead to the occurrence of vibrations that limit the acceptable modes of operation of aircraft engines. In order to reduce such vibrations, the current manufacturing technology of the rotor contains a complex procedure for balancing it. Creating a digital twin of the turbine rotor will allow to abandon the balancing procedure and reduce the cost of manufacturing parts. This paper presents such stages of creating a digital twin as the determination of typical errors in the manufacture of a turbine rotor, the construction of a digital twin of a part taking into account the errors in manufacture and the determination of its key characteristics. Analysis of the properties of the twin allows to optimize its parameters and to reduce vibration of the entire engine.
In this article, we study the errors in the assembly of parts, taking into account the deviation of the shape of their surfaces. The developed computer model of the assembly of the engine low-pressure turbine rotor is designed to predict the values of the assembly parameters, such as radial and face run-out. The forecasting of the above assembly parameters is carried out based on the data of actual dimensions and shape of the surfaces of parts assembled as an assembly unit. The analysis of study results made it possible to obtain a conclusion about the qualitative influence of geometrical errors of the assembled parts on the error of the assembly parameters.
The measurement results of the geometric parameters of the parts play an important role in the assembly process of gas turbine engine assemblies The article provides an analysis of the problems of reducing the measurement uncertainties of gas turbine engine parts. Significant uncertainties in the measurement of the geometric parameters of gas turbine engine low-rigid parts are caused by uncertainties in the processing algorithms for measured data. The ways of improving the processing algorithms for measured data are proposed, they are based on taking into account the contact of the surfaces during assembly and the rigidity of the measured parts. Theoretical and experimental studies of the uncertainties in the processing algorithm for measured data are carried out, using the example of measuring the geometric parameters of a low-rigid part of the “spacer” type. Comparison of three variants of the processing algorithms for measurement results are presented.
