How do I conduct structural analysis on steam turbine blades using Ansys apdl?

AI Thread Summary
To conduct structural analysis on low pressure spindle blades using Ansys APDL, it's essential to understand the application of forces, pressures, and constraints. Key loads include the rotational forces acting on the blades, which depend on the distance from the axis of rotation and the rotor's speed. Additionally, loading from steam requires knowledge of steam velocity, pressure, and temperature at the blade's stage in the turbine. Resources such as books, journals, and tutorial videos can provide further guidance on these topics. Proper understanding of these factors is crucial for accurately assessing stress, strain, and deformation in turbine blades.

Hello,

i would like to do structural analysis for low pressure spindle blades in Ansys apdl.. but i couldn't do it coz of lack of knowledge about it.. Can anybody explain me where to apply force/ pressure and constraints and how to do it to find stress, strain and deformation in it.. please i had attached picture of those blades..

Any suggestions guys??
 
One of the major loads on a turbine blade will be due to the rotational forces acting to hurl the blade away from the spinning rotor. You will need to know the distance of the blade from the axis of rotation and the speed of rotation.

If you want to add a loading on the blade due to the passage of steam, then you must determine the velocity, pressure, and temperature of the steam as it passes thru the particular stage of the turbine where the blade is located.
 
Is there any books, journals or tutorial videos which can i knw.. so that it will be lot easier.. thanks for ur reply
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
