Lifetime prediction in creep-fatigue environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The creep-fatigue interaction has been studied and innovative mathematical models are proposed to predict the operating life of aircraft components, specifically gas turbine blades subject to creep-fatigue at high temperatures. The historical evolution of the creep-fatigue lifetime prediction is given in order to place the present study in the context. A literature review of the life estimation under creep-fatigue environment is presented.

A new low cycle fatigue lifetime prediction model for magnesium alloy based on modified plastic strain energy approach
Nowadays, the technology intends to use materials such as magnesium alloys due to their high strength to weight ratio in engine components. As usual, engine cylinder heads and blocks has made of various types of cast irons and aluminum alloys. However, magnesium alloys has physical and mechanical properties near to aluminum alloys and reduce the weight up to 40 percents. In this article, a new ...
متن کاملAn efficient life prediction methodology for low cycle fatigue–creep based on ductility exhaustion theory
Low cycle fatigue–creep is the main reason for the failures of many engineering components under high temperature and cyclic loading. Based on the exhaustion of the static toughness and dissipation of the plastic strain energy during fatigue failure, a new low cycle fatigue–creep life prediction model that is consistent with the fatigue–creep damage mechanism and sensitive to the fatigue damage...
متن کاملA Novel Viscosity-Based Model for Low Cycle Fatigue Creep Life Prediction of High-Temperature Structures
Damage evolution during low cycle fatigue, creep, and their interaction behavior is actually a ductility exhaustion process in response to cyclic and static creep. In this article, a novel viscosity-based model for low cycle fatigue creep life prediction is presented in an attempt to condition viscosity-based approaches for general use in isothermal and thermo-mechanical loading. In this model,...
