Abstract: Nickel-base superalloys (NBSAs) are a group of materials that are used in high-temperature applications. This work primarily focuses on directionally solidified (DS) NBSAs. Directionally solidified materials are comprised ...

Abstract: With the significant evolution of modern gas turbine engines, selection of high-temperature resistant alloys in the hot section is known to be the fundamental solution to enhance the capabilities of these engines. In ...

Abstract: The Coffin–Manson–Basquin–Haford (CMBH) model is a well-accepted strain-life relationship to model fatigue life as a function of applied strain. In this paper, we propose a nonstationary uncertainty model for the CMBH ...
