Static fracture and modal analysis simulation of a gas turbine compressor blade and bladed disk system by Fernandes, Ralston

“…Results demonstrate that for the applied loading condition, a mixed mode crack propagation is expected. In the modal analysis study, increasing the depth of the crack leads to a decrease in the natural frequencies of both the single blade and bladed disk system, while increasing the rotational velocity increases the natural frequencies. …”
