"<strong>Stress</strong> <strong>Analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> Working Blades").<br />

Structural diagrams <strong>and</strong> designs for bracing<br />

the working blades to the rotor<br />

<strong>The</strong> bracing node holding the working blades to the rotor<br />

experiences considerable loads mainly from the centrifugal forces<br />

<strong>of</strong> the blades.<br />

following:<br />

<strong>The</strong> requirements imposed on the bracing nodes include the<br />

the spacing <strong>of</strong> a given number <strong>of</strong> blades with sufficient<br />

bracing strength, blade installation accuracy, identity <strong>of</strong> blade<br />

seal (ensuring a small spread <strong>of</strong> free oscillation frequencies),<br />

the least weakening <strong>of</strong> the disk's crown by the bracing, the least<br />

loading <strong>of</strong> the disks from the bracing, <strong>and</strong> ease <strong>of</strong> installation.<br />
