    Abstract:

    Improving structures involves comparing old and new designs on a key parameter. Calculating the percent change in performance is a method to assess. This paper proposes a cost-effective analogy by generating replicas of additive manufactured aluminum alloy (AlSi10Mg) body-centered cubic lattice (BCC) based turbine blade (T106C) with the same in poly-lactic acid (PLA) material and their comparison in the context of percent change for natural frequencies. Initially, a cavity is created inside the turbine blade (hollow blade). Natural frequencies are obtained experimentally and numerically by incorporating BCC at 50% and 80% of the cavity length into the hollow blade for both materials. The cost of manufacturing the metal blades is 90% more than that of the PLA blades. The two material blade designs show a similar percentage variation, as the first-order mode enhancs more than 5% and the second-order mode more than 4%. To observe the behavior in another material, both blades are analyzed numerically with a nickel-based U-500 material, and the same result is achieved, describing that percent change between designs can be verified using the PLA material.
