[ JAR-E 840 Rotor Integrity
(See ACJ E 840)
(a) For each fan, compressor, and turbine
rotor, it shall be established by test, analysis, or
combination thereof, that a rotor which has the
most adverse combination of material properties
and dimensional tolerances allowed by its type
design will not burst when it is operated in the
Engine for five minutes at whichever of the
conditions defined in JAR–E 840(b) is the most
critical with respect to the integrity of such a
rotor.
However, where that required condition is
determined by either JAR–E 840(b)(3) or (b)(4),
but the associated failure condition is of a sudden
transient nature, such as loss of load, and it
precludes any further operation of the affected
rotor, then the time period of that failure
condition is an acceptable duration for showing
compliance by means of an engine test provided
the required test speeds are achieved. Test rotors
which do not have the most adverse combination
of material properties and dimensional tolerances
must comply at appropriately adjusted test
parameters, e.g. speed, temperature, loads.
(b) When determining the operating
conditions applicable to each rotor for compliance
with JAR–E 840(a) and (c), each of the following
speeds must be evaluated in conjunction with their
associated temperatures and temperature
gradients, throughout the Engine's operating
envelope :
(1) 120% of the maximum permissible
rotor speeds associated with any of the ratings
except OEI ratings of less than 2½-minutes.
(2) 115% of the maximum permissible
rotor speeds associated with any OEI ratings of
less than 2½-minutes.
(3) 105% of the highest rotor speed that
would result from either -
(i) The failure of the component
or system which, in a representative
installation of the Engine, is the most
critical with respect to overspeeding
when operating at any rating condition
except OEI ratings of less than 2½-minutes,
or
(ii) The failure of any component
or system in a representative installation
of the Engine, in combination with any
other failure of a component or system
that would not normally be detected
during a routine pre-flight check or
during normal flight operation that is the
most critical with respect to
overspeeding, except as provided by
JAR–E 840(c), when operating at any
rating condition except OEI ratings of
less than 2½-minutes.
(4) 100% of the highest rotor speed that
would result from the failure of the component
or system which, in a representative installation
of the Engine, is the most critical with respect
to overspeeding when operating at any OEI
ratings of less than 2½-minutes.
(c) The highest overspeed which will result
from a complete loss of load on a turbine rotor,
unless it can be shown to be Extremely Remote
under the provisions of JAR-E 850, must be
included in the overspeeds considered under each
of JAR–E 840(b)(3)(i), (ii) and (b)(4),
irrespective of whether it is the result of a failure
within the Engine or external to the Engine.
Overspeeds resulting from any other single
failure must be considered. Overspeeds resulting
from multiple failures must also be considered
unless they can be shown to be Extremely
Remote.
(d) In addition, for each fan, compressor, and
turbine rotor, it shall be established by test,
analysis, or combination thereof, that a rotor
which has the most adverse combination of
material properties and dimensional tolerances
allowed by its type design and which is operated
in the Engine for five minutes at 100% of the most
critical speed and temperature conditions resulting
from any failure or combination of failures
considered under JAR–E 840(b)(3) and (b)(4),
will meet the acceptance criteria prescribed below
in JAR–E 840(d)(1) and (d)(2).
However, where the failure condition is of a
sudden transient nature, such as loss of load, and
it precludes any further operation of the affected
rotor, the time period of that failure condition is
an acceptable duration for showing compliance by
means of an engine test. ]
[ Test rotors which do not have the most
adverse combination of material properties and
dimensional tolerances must comply at
appropriately adjusted test parameters, e.g. speed,
temperature, loads.
(1) Growth of the rotor while it is
operating at the applicable conditions must not
cause the Engine to:
(i) catch fire,
(ii) release hazardous fragments
through the Engine's casing or result in a
hazardous failure of the Engine's casing,
(iii) generate loads greater than
those ultimate loads for which the
Engine's mountings have been designed
in compliance with JAR–E 100(b), or
(iv) lose the capability of being
shut down.
(2) After the applicable period of operation,
the rotor must not exhibit conditions such as
cracking or distortion which preclude the safe
operation of the Engine during any likely
continued operation following such an overspeed
event in service. ]
