Soft Body Impact on Titanium Fan BladesThe strength of titanium fan blades under soft body impact has been studied by means of panel tests. The panels, representing blades with various leading edge profiles, were exposed to oblique impact in a gas gun facility by launching a block of gelatine at speeds of up to 600 m/s. High speed photography, at 100,000 f.p.s. and strain gauges provide a record of the deformation. Failure occurred either as a result of the deformation or localized tearing. Tearing was taken as determining the limiting strength of the blade, which was found to be strongly dependent on the leading edge profile.
