Advanced morphological approach to finding novel solutions for automated finishing of GTE blades

Abstract

Abstract This article deals with the search, structural analysis, synthesis and modelling of complex automatic systems during preliminary design phase on a basis of advanced morphological approach. The research aims were to develop and use an advanced morphological approach, a technique for modelling the new systems for automated finishing of gas turbine engine (GTE) blades. The approach is based on cluster analysis, set theory, set of rules and maximization a gain by the innovative automation systems potential. Based on this study, the proposed method shows a meaningful potential compared to the methods presently used.
