Evaluation of the material’s damage in gas turbine rotors by instrumented spherical indentation
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 30
Abstract
Experimental indentations are carried out on items of two different materials, taken in several location of various components from high pressure gas turbine rotor which have seen an extensive service. The components object of investigation consisted in 1st and 2nd high pressure turbine wheels made in nickel-base superalloy (Inconel 718), the spacer ring (Inconel 718) and the compressor shaft made in CrMoV low alloy steel (ASTM A471 type10). Aim of the work is to set up the capability of the instrumented spherical indentation testing system to evaluate variations in the material properties due to damage, resulting from temperature field and stresses acting on components during service. To perform this task load-indentation depth curves will be acquired in various zones of the above mentioned components. The analysis of the results has allowed to identify an energy parameter which shows a linear evolution with the mean temperature acting on the components.

A new formulation for estimating maximum stress intensity factor atthe mid plane of a SENB specimen: Study based on 3D FEA
In this investigation, three-dimensional elastic finite element analyses have been conducted tocompute the stress intensity factor (KI) in a SENB specimen with varied thickness (B) and crack-length to widthratio (a...
Fatigue of weld ends under combined in- and out-of-phase multiaxial loading
Weld start and end points are fatigue failure sensitive locations. Their fatigue behaviour especially in thin sheet structures under multiaxial load conditions is not sufficiently explored so far. Therefore, a res...
Multiaxial fatigue assessment of crankshafts by local stress and critical plane approach
For multiaxially-loaded parts several stress-based fatigue assessment concepts are applicable mostly taking uniaxial test results as basis. These approaches work well in case of proportional loading states, but on...
