L'Aquila

The group at University of L'Aquila strictly cooperates with the group at University of Rome "La Sapienza".

The following compressed (rar) file contains:

• A geometry file (stp) of the blade, corrected in order to take out fillets. It still has some defects (curvature changes) at the tip of the blade: in that area the mesh has to be adjusted manually;

• A NASTRAN model using four nodes solid elements: the material is considered to be isotropic and the material properties were selected so as to fit natural frequencies identifed by UML.
