Eigenblades: Application Of Computer Vision And Machine Learning For Mode Shape Identification, Alex W. La Dec 2017

Eigenblades: Application Of Computer Vision And Machine Learning For Mode Shape Identification, Alex W. La

Theses and Dissertations

On August 27, 2016, Southwest Airlines flight 3472 from New Orleans to Orlando had to perform an emergency landing when a fan blade separated from the engine hub and destroyed the cowling and punctured the fuselage. Initial findings from the metallurgical examination conducted in the National Transpiration Safety Board Materials Laboratory found that the fracture surface of the missing blade showed curving crack arrest lines consistent with fatigue crack growth. Fatigue is often cause by resonate vibrations. Modal analysis is a method that can model the natural frequencies and bending modes of turbomachinery blades. When performing modal analysis with finite …
