Question: The first - stage turbine disk for a turbofan engine has a bore radius of 1 2 7 mm , a rim radius of 3

The first-stage turbine disk for a turbofan engine has a bore radius of 127 mm , a rim radius of 381 mm , and a thickness of 76 mm (assumed uniform from bore to rim). Attached to the disk are 40 turbine blades, each weighing \(4.4 N \)(including attaching hardware). When the blades are mounted in the disk, the radius to the blade centroid is 410 mm . The maximum design rotor speed is 8000 rpm . Allow for a \(10\%\) overspeed in the following analysis.
The disk material is Waspaloy, a high-temperature nickel-based alloy. It has density \(8138\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\), elastic modulus of 184.1 GPa at a temperature of \(538^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), a corresponding tensile yield strength 980 MPa , and Poisson's ratio of 0.3.
Now consider the disk and a drive shaft together as single piece of material (both have properties
of Waspaloy). Suppose the interference fit is such that when the system reaches overspeed the press
fit interference pressure becomes zero. What is the radial stress at a radius of R? The negative of
that would be the designed interference pressure pi.
(vii) For an interference pressure of pi, what is the required radial interference ?
(viii) Superimpose the the stresses due to rotation of the solid disk and due to internal pressure from
the interference pressure pi and the pressure caused by rotation of the turbine blades Part B In this part using an interference fit to mount the fan disk to the drive shaft is considered. You will want to refer to the Rotating Pressfit example from lecture.
-(vi) Now consider the disk and a drive shaft together as single piece of material (both have properties of Waspaloy). Suppose the interference fit is such that when the system reaches overspeed the press fit interference pressure becomes zero. What is the radial stress at a radius of R? The negative of that would be the designed interference pressure pi.
-(vii) For an interference pressure of pi, what is the required radial interference \(\delta \)?
-(viii) Superimpose the the stresses due to rotation of the solid disk and due to internal pressure from the interference pressure pi and the pressure caused by rotation of the turbine blades.
