Abstract: A new lifetime criterion for withdrawal of turbine components from service is developed in this paper based on finite element (FE) analysis and experimental results. Finite element analysis is used to determine stresses ...

Abstract: Turbine attachments in the aero-engine are generally subjected to combined high and low cycle fatigue (CCF) loadings, i.e., low cycle fatigue (LCF) loading due to centrifugal and thermal loading stresses superimposed to ...
