Abstract

This paper details and discusses numerical methods of simulating bird-strikes onto metallic blades and full fan, and onto a composite blade, using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method to model the bird. Stronger emphasis is put on the SPH technique. The metallic models were used to investigate modelling issues and investigate the appropriateness of the fluidstructure interactions. Furthermore a methodology has been developed for analysing impact onto an advanced composite blade for both SPH and ALE techniques.
