← ScienceWhich risk increases when turbine blade resonance overlaps harmonics?
A)Catastrophic fatigue in stages✓
B)Efficiency loss via fluid detachment
C)Reduced compression within blades
D)Premature fuel injector nozzle erosion
💡 Explanation
Harmonic excitation at resonance causes large-amplitude vibrations; blades experience cyclic stress that increases fatigue crack propagation because of repeated loading. Therefore fatigue leading to crack failure is prominent, rather than less specific blade problems, impacting its useful life.
