Abstract

Two shape optimization methods, based on non-parametric and geometric parameters, were developed to address stress concentrations in the vent holes of gas turbine flow guide disks. The design optimization focused on reducing the maximum equivalent stress at the hole edge in an aero-engine gas turbine flow guide disk. The effectiveness of both methods in achieving this objective was studied. The results indicated that the non-parametric-based optimization method reduced the maximum equivalent stress at the hole edge by 24.5% compared to the initial design, while the geometric parameter-based optimization method achieved a reduction of 20.2%. Both shape optimization methods proved effective in reducing stress concentrations and improving fatigue life. However, the non-parametric shape optimization method resulted in a better design for the vent holes based on the study’s findings.
