An investigation of fatigue failures of turbine blades in a gas turbine engine by mechanical analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a series of mechanical analyses were performed to identify the possible causes of the failures by examining anomalies in the mechanical behaviour of the turbine blade, and the steady-state stresses and dynamic characteristics of the blade were evaluated and synthesized in order to determine the cause of blade failures.
Book ChapterDOI
Effects of Gas Turbine Engine Load Spectrum Variables on Crack Propagation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe results of an elevated temperature fatigue crack growth study in IN-100, a nickel-base superalloy, and determine if conventional fracture mechanics techniques can predict crack growth under conditions expected to occur in jet engine turbine disks.
