Methodology for Application of Damage Mechanics Approach to Model High Temperature Fatigue Damage Evolution in a Turbine Disc Superalloy
Summary
Researchers developed a damage mechanics methodology to model high-temperature fatigue damage evolution in a turbine disc superalloy, addressing the absence of established standards for this approach. Testing at 650°C enabled characterization of cyclic damage accumulation and material strength deterioration, providing a lifing framework for assessing fatigue life in aeroengine gas turbine components.
Aeroengine gas turbine components operate under complex loading environments. Turbine disc is one such component which experiences stresses at high temperature and accumulates life critical cyclic damage in the material during usage. This accumulation of cyclic damage results into significant deterioration in material strength which in turn may initiate the failure in these rotating components. This necessitates the need to develop an advanced lifing approach for fatigue life assessment of turbine disc. As there are no available standards for damage mechanics application, an attempt has been made in the present study to develop a methodology for application of damage mechanics approach to model high temperature fatigue damage evolution in a turbine disc Superalloy. High temperature (650oC) stress-controlled fatigue tests on turbine disc alloy have been performed to evaluate parameters for damage mechanics based models. Using this approach, damage evolution has been simulated at specimen level. A good correlation has been observed in the damage mechanics based model’s predicted damage and experimentally determined values.
