Title

Development and Manufacturing of an All-Oxide Inter Turbine Duct for Aeroengines

Concept

The objective of the proposal is the development of an all-oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) inter turbine duct for testing of the component in a demonstrator engine.

The development steps include:

- Designing the parts including the attachment to the metallic support structure
- Defining design rules how to work with oxide CMCs for engine parts
- Simulation of the parts behavior under engine loads
- Assessment of the lifetime and reliability of the material in operation to translate the specimen behavior onto the component level
- Optimizing the performance of the parts w.r.t. manufacturing parameters e.g. fiber orientation
- Characterizing the material properties needed for the design process on specimen level. This includes the material development for example to improve the matrix system for prepreg technology
- Manufacturing of the demonstrator parts
- Develop a concept for fining qualification steps
- Develop a concept for non-destructive testing
- Validating simulation results with engine data resulting from engine tests
