| Description | Experiments simulating rub interactions between Ti-6Al-4V blade tips and various seal materials were conducted. The number of blade tips and the blade tip geometry were varied to determine their effects on rub forces and on wear phenomena. Contact was found to be quite unsteady for all blade tip geometries except for those incorporating deliberately rounded blade tips. The unsteady contact was characterized by long periods of rubbing contact and increasing blade tip that terminated in sudden rapid metal removal, sometimes accompanied by tearing and disruption of porous seal material under the rub surface. A model describing the blade tip loading is proposed and is based on the propagation of an elastic stress wave through the seal material as the seal material is dynamically compressed by the blade tip leading edge. |
