  • Patent number: 11959399
    Abstract: Blade root receptacle for receiving a blade root of a rotor blade of a turbomachine. The blade root receptacle, for radially bearing in a form-fitting manner on the blade root, has a supporting flank which, in terms of a rotation axis, at least in proportions faces radially inward, wherein the supporting flank is provided with a convexity which, when viewed in an axially perpendicular section, at least in portions has a convex shape and, also when viewed in an axially parallel section, at least in portions has a convex shape.

  • Publication number: 20230194384
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing a component, in particular an aircraft engine, comprising the steps of: determining (S40) a value of a first toleranced parameter (A1; A2) of the component; determining (S50) a value of a second toleranced parameter (E1; ...; E4) of the component; and classifying (S70) the component in a predefined quality class if this value pair lies outside of a predefined tolerance range, the upper and/or lower limit (G) of which for the second parameter depends on the first parameter, in particular linearly, in at least one first permissible value range (Ta1,1) of the first parameter.

  • Publication number: 20220024609
    Abstract: A method for examining a component with the steps: Determining an actual value of a first parameter of a first characteristic of the component; Determining an actual value of the first parameter of at least one further characteristic of the component; Determining a first statistical characteristic variable of these actual values of the first parameter; and Classifying the component on the basis of the first statistical characteristic variable and the actual values of the first parameter, wherein the component is classified in a predetermined quality class if the first statistical characteristic variable is outside a predetermined first characteristic variable range or at least one of these actual values of the first parameter is outside a predetermined first range of values.
