Developing an efficient FEM structural simulation of a fan blade off test in a turbofan jet engine

This work develops a methodology for full engine FEA simulation of the fan blade off containment test for a jet engine using LS-Dyna. The fan blade off containment test is a safety requirement involving the intentional release of a fan blade when the engine is running at full power. The released bla...
