Fatigue Lifespan of Engine Box Influenced by Fan Blade Out

This provides precious experience and reliable reference data for future design. This paper introduces the analysis process of Fan-blade-out, and considers the effect of windmill load on the fatigue lifespan of the case. According to Extended Operations (ETOPS) in the airworthiness regulations, the fatigue crack of it is analyzed by the unbalanced rotor load, during FBO. Compared with the lifespan in normal work of the engine, this research provides valuable design experience and reliable reference data for the case design in the near future. (paper)
