...Brian R. Daubenspeck; Ali P. Gordon A combination of extrapolation and estimation techniques from both prior and current studies has been explored with the goal of developing a method to accurately characterize high-stress amplitude low cycle fatigue of a material commonly used in gas turbine...

...B. P. Conner; T. Nicholas Fretting fatigue damage can reduce the service life of engineering components in contact. The attachment between blades and disks in the fan and compressor stages of gas turbine engines is often a dovetail geometry. As a result, normal and tangential cyclic contact loads...

... comments. The symposium was organized into eight sessions on: 1) power plant applications; 2) gas turbine applications; 3) high temperature coatings applications; 4) structural life prediction; 5) new materials; 6) micromechanical materials science; 7...

...Mark E. Walter; Bolarinwa Onipede; Wole Soboyejo; Chris Mercer Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are receiving a great deal of attention as a result of their ability to enable higher operating temperatures without sacrificing component durability in gas turbine systems. Nonetheless...

...Robert G. Tryon; Thomas A. Cruse, Fellow ASME This paper presents an analytical modeling approach to characterize and understand high cycle fatigue life in gas turbine alloys. It is recognized that the design of structures subjected to fatigue cannot be based on average material behavior...
