Research on the Fatigue of Small Impulse Turbine Blade Based on the Numerical Simulation and Experimental Tests

Reusable spacecraft is increasingly attracting researchers’ attention. However, the experimental investigations on the turbine blade of the rocket engine are rarely published. Thus, the fatigue of a small impulse rocket turbine blade is explored in the current work. First, the specimen and the elect...
