This work focuses on the dynamic analysis of thermal barrier coated straight and curved turbine blades modelled as functionally graded sandwich panel under thermal environment. The pre- twisted straight/curved blade model is considered to be fixed to the hub and, the complete assembly of the hub and blade are assumed to be rotating. The functionally graded sandwich composite blade is comprised of functionally graded face-sheet material and metal alloy core. The constituents' material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent, however, the overall properties are evaluated using Voigt's micromechanical scheme in conjunction with the modified power-law functions. The blade model kinematics is based on the equivalent single-layer shear deformation theory. The equations of motion are derived using the extended Hamilton's principle by including the effect of centrifugal forces, and further solved via 2D- isoparametric finite element approximations. The mesh refinement and validation tests are performed to illustrate the stability and accurateness of the present model. In addition, frequency characteristics of the pre-twisted rotating sandwich blades are computed under thermal environment at various sets of parametric conditions such as twist angles, thickness ratios, aspect ratios, layer thickness ratios, volume fractions, rotational velocity and blade curvatures which can be further useful for designing the blade type structures under turbine operating conditions.

Recently, turbomachine blades are becoming larger and more flexible, it is necessary to calculate natural frequencies of a rotating blades for avoiding resonance. This problem is complicated by the fact that blades are tapered, twisted and curved. To keep with this demands, the designer must rely on more exact methods of calculation. In this paper, natural frequencies of a single straight or curved blade with variable R.P.M. are calculated by a stiffness matrix method. Results of investigation on the correspondence between the calculated and other values of the literature are described. The calculated values are agree with the other values but with a small error. Furthermore, the influence of Coriolis force on the natural frequency for rotating, curved turbo blades is described.

본 논문은 자유수면을 가지는 와류유동 내 저낙차에서 마이크로 소수력에 관한 실험 연구이다. 내부 곡선 모서리가 있는 직선, 곡선, 비틀린 블레이드의 와류 높이, 터빈 회전 및 토크를 개수로 유입구의 유량 0.0069 ㎥/s 조건에서 측정하였다. 실험결과로서 최적의 와류 강도는 와류 발생부의 외부직경과 유출구 직경 비율 0.17~18.5 범위에서 발생했다. 직선 블레이드 출력과 효율은 다른 블레이드와 비교하여 높게 나타났다. 가장 높게 생성된 에너지는 12.33 W이고, 토크는 0.91 N·m이다. 유효낙차를 고려한 경우 가장 높은 효율은 29.5 %인 반면 와류 높이를 고려한 가장 높은 효율은 회전수 132 rpm에서 80.5 %이다. 직선 블레이드의 와류 유속은 개수로 유입구의 평균 유속보다 약 2.8배 더 크게 나타난다.
