The main aim of the project was to model the various components of a high-pressure compressor using commercial FE packages and the verification of the results via modal tests.
Responsibilities included the modal test and analysis of several components, their FE modelling and validation. A whole-assembly model was also developed. Also, an investigation on degree of non-linear behaviour was conducted for several force levels.
