Equivalent model of close-packed film cooling holes in nickel-based single crystal cooled blade based on crystallographic theory

The mechanical properties of nickel-based single crystal thin-walled plate with close-packed film cooling holes were studied based on the equivalent solid material concept. The effective plastic parameters inversion method based on crystallographic theory were proposed. A simplification method for close-packed film cooling hole plates with square and triangular penetration patterns was presented. A large number of finite element analysis results covering different ligament efficiencies and penetration patterns were provided to verify the feasibility of the plastic equivalent principle and simplification method. The results show that the stress–strain curve and resolved shear stresses of simplification models are in consistence with the plate models with close-packed film cooling holes. The equivalent errors of yield strength are all within the error band and the values of equivalent errors are all less than 10%. In addition, the equivalent errors of the positions where maximum resolved shear stress occurs are all less than 15°, indicating the accuracy of plastic equivalent model and simplification method.
