Method of repairing a stack of integrally bladed rotors

A plurality of potential repair processes for a stack of IBRs may be determined. Each repair process may be associated with a defect on an inspected IBR. A finite element model of the stack of IBRs may be generated to model a potential repaired defect of each inspected IBR. The model may also include a plurality of vane stages disposed between adjacent inspected IBRs and an engine case. A structural analysis and an aerodynamic analysis may be performed. Whether the stack of IBRs with the potential repaired defect meets a structural criteria and an aerodynamic criteria may be determined. Each IBR in the stack of IBRs may be repaired with the repair process for the potential repaired defect for each inspected IBR in the stack of IBRs in response to determining the stack of IBRs meets the structural criteria and the aerodynamic criteria.
