More Information
Summary:A method of analyzing a blended airfoil that includes generating a plurality of simulated blended airfoil designs each including one of a plurality of blend geometries, training surrogate models representing the plurality of simulated blended airfoil designs based on natural frequency, modal force, and Goodman scale factors, determining a likelihood of operational failure of each of the plurality of blended airfoil designs in response to one or more vibratory modes, determining which of the plurality of simulated blended airfoil designs violate at least one aeromechanical constraint and generating, a blend design space visualization including a blend design space, where the blend design space includes one or more restricted regions indicating blended airfoil designs where at least one aeromechanical constraint is violates and one or more permitted regions indicating blended airfoil designs where no aeromechanical constraints are violated.
