Abstract: Simulation plays a critical role in the development and evaluation of critical components that are regularly subjected to mechanical loads at elevated temperatures. The cost, applicability, and accuracy of either numerical ...

Abstract: Next-generation, reusable hypersonic aircraft will be subjected to extreme environments that produce complex fatigue loads at high temperatures, reminiscent of the life-limiting thermal and mechanical loads present in large ...

Abstract: While industrial gas turbine blades are commonly designed to resist creep and high-cycle fatigue (HCF) failure, the combination of these two loading conditions is seldom considered. The effect of creep damage elicited prior ...
