Why are the blades on the Trent 1000 cracking?

The condition of the blades deteriorated earlier than expected. A new blade design was made available in October 2018 to rectify this. Further investigation revealed that improvements were also required for the intermediate-pressure compressor (IPC) rotor blade. Under certain conditions the blades could vibrate, which caused a few of them to crack.
