Provided is a jig for a vibration test of a stator vane, for use in the vibration test for evaluating high cycle fatigue characteristics of the stator vane, and the jig is provided with a base plate that is fixed onto an excitation table of a shaker, a first fixed wall that is fixed onto the base plate in a state where a vane root end portion of a guide vane is fixed, a movable wall that is slidably placed on the base plate in a state where a vane tip portion of the guide vane is fixed, a second fixed wall that is fixed onto the base plate, and a hydraulic jack that is disposed between the movable wall and the second fixed wall, to apply a load in the span direction to the guide vane. Consequently, in the vibration test for evaluating the high cycle fatigue characteristics of the stator vane, the test simulating an actual operation state can be carried out, and an assumed deformed state can be exhibited in the stator vane to be subjected to the test.

Jig for vibration test of stator vane

Provided is a jig for a vibration test of a rotor blade, for use in the vibration test for evaluating high cycle fatigue characteristics of the rotor blade for an aircraft engine, and the jig is provided with a jig body holding a dovetail portion of a fan blade and fixed onto an excitation table of a shaker, and a hydraulic jack that applies a load in a blade span direction to the fan blade to fix the fan blade to the jig body. Consequently, in the vibration test for evaluating the high cycle fatigue characteristics of the rotor blade, a test simulating an actual operation state can be carried out, the rotor blade can be efficiently excited to reach a large deformation region, and high cycle fatigue failure can occur without any increase in test cost.
