Abstract: Advanced Nibased gas turbine disks are expected to operate at higher service temperatures in aggressive environments for longer time durations. Exposures of Nibased alloys to alkalinemetal salts and sulfur compounds at ...

Abstract: A new methodology has been developed for automated fatigue crack growth (FCG) life and reliability analysis of components based on finite element (FE) stress and temperature models, weight function stress intensity factor ...

Abstract: Recent advances in practical engineering methods for fracture analysis of turbomachinery components are described. A comprehensive set of weight function (WF) stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for elliptical and ...
