4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The simulated blade exhibits ductile fracture when subjected to the impact of foreign objects. The shape of the notch is a typical U-shaped notch. The width of the damage primarily depends on the size of the foreign object, while the depth of the damage is influenced by both the size of the foreign object and the impact velocity.
- (2)
- After the impact of the pre-corroded damaged blade, the damage degree after 24 h and 48 h was only slightly increased compared to that of the non-corroded blade. However, the damage size increased markedly after 96 h of pre-corrosion. This indicates that the impact resistance of the simulated blade deteriorates significantly as the duration of pre-corrosion increases.
- (3)
- Pre-corrosion does not alter the damage mechanism of the simulated blade, but increases the damage size of the leading edge of the simulated blade under the same impact conditions, which leads to greater stress concentration at the notch root of the simulated blade and reduces the fatigue strength of the simulated blade.
- (4)
- Pre-corrosion leads to increased damage when the simulated blade is impacted, which in turn affects the fatigue performance of the blade. The fatigue limit of the simulated blade that was pre-corroded for 24 h decreased by approximately 22%; the fatigue limit of the simulated blade that was pre-corroded for 48 h decreased by about 23%; the fatigue limit of the simulated blade that was pre-corroded for 96 h decreased by roughly 29%.
