Descripción del proyecto
Una estructura de soporte de motor a medida transforma los futuros motores de los aviones turbohélice
El equipo del proyecto ICTUS, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende adaptar un motor de turbina de gas en el marco del desarrollo de un nuevo demostrador de motor de avión turbohélice. En el proyecto ICTUS, dirigido por la empresa francesa VibraTec ―líder en análisis mecánico y de vibraciones―, se centrarán en optimizar la instalación del motor, diseñar una cuna de motor para ensayos en tierra y caracterizar el sistema de ventilación del compartimento del motor. En ICTUS también se investigará el comportamiento dinámico de la cuna del motor para mitigar los riesgos de resonancia estructural y se concentrará en el sistema de aislamiento de vibraciones. Además, el equipo del proyecto probará sensores punteros basados en la tecnología de rejilla de fibra de Bragg, un tipo de sensor de deformación de fibra óptica resistente a entornos adversos, especialmente campos electromagnéticos.
Objetivo
ICTUS - Instrumented engine Cradle for the TUrboprop demonstrator ground teSt
In the framework of the development of a new turboprop engine demonstrator (WP3 of the ENGine ITD JTP), a full Integrated Power plant System (IPPS) will be ground tested. The objectives of the ICTUS Project are:
- To benchmark current turboprop engine installation : the benchmark aims to deliver recommendations/suggestions for an optimize engine installation configurations in line with the ENG ITD objectives (weight savings and performance);
- To design the engine cradle for ground tests: a virtual prototype of the engine cradle is developed to predict the static and dynamic behaviour of the cradle in operational conditions; design is conducted to be compliant with CS23 regulation rules;
- To manufacture, to instrument and to qualify by test the engine cradle: a tubular structure is manufactured; an instrumentation setup is proposed and installed on the cradle; the relevant position of the sensors for monitoring purpose is set-up based on SAFRAN HE specifications; engine cradle will be testes in the VIBRATEC laboratory to qualify the structure and the instrumentation;
- To characterize the engine compartment ventilation system: CFD analysis are conducted to verify the temperature and the air flow exhausted by the engine.
The ICTUS consortium is made of the VIBRATEC Company, a French SME, leader in vibration and mechanical analysis. With a double skills in simulation and test, VIBRATEC covers the scope of the technical programs. In design phase, the project will address the dynamic behavior of the engine cradle to mitigate the structural resonance risks and to focus on vibration isolation system. Among others, the ICTUS project will allow to test new kind of sensors based on the Fiber Bragg Grating technologies, a family of optical fiber strain sensor that resists to sever environment especially towards electromagnetic field.
