Abstract

Disclosed is a method for structural damage monitoring for whole-machine life test of small turboshaft engine, comprising: determining a failure mode based on load borne by typical components of the small turboshaft engine in a service process and common failure forms, screening a structural damage index of a non-major component based on a coupling relationship between structural damages, selecting a destructive damage of components in the small turboshaft engine and an indirect damage causing changes in material properties of key component, planning a structural damage monitoring means based on the failure mode, the structural damage index, the destructive damage, and the indirect damage, designing an accelerated mission test platform of the small turboshaft engine, and designing a torque automatic loading scheme of an eddy current dynamometer, and testing the small turboshaft engine, and performing damage monitoring of the small turboshaft engine based on the planned structural damage monitoring means.
