In recent years a local probabilistic model for low cycle fatigue (LCF) based on the statistical
size effect has been developed and applied on engineering components. Here, the notch …

Notch and size effects exerts significant influence on the fatigue performances of
engineering components. In the present study, a probabilistic framework for fatigue life …

A probabilistic risk assessment for low cycle fatigue (LCF) based on the so-called size effect
has been applied on gas-turbine design in recent years. In contrast, notch support modeling …

New probabilistic lifetime approaches for coarse grained Ni-base superalloys supplement
current deterministic gas turbine component design philosophies; in order to reduce safety …

We investigated the scatter in the cycles to crack initiation for conventionally cast specimens
of the superalloy RENE 80 in total strain controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) tests at 850° C …

The failure of a component often is the result of a degradation process that originates with
the formation of a crack. Fatigue describes the crack formation in the material under cyclic …

In the optimization of turbomachinery components, shape sensitivities for fluid dynamical
objective functions have been used for a long time. As peak stress is not a differential …

In the age of Industry 4.0, the capability of health management is critical to the design and
maintenance of gas turbines. This study presents a probabilistic method to estimate the low …

A simple multi-physical system for the potential flow of a fluid through a shroud, in which a
mechanical component, like a turbine vane, is placed, is modeled mathematically. We then …

This work provides a numerical calculation of shape gradients of failure probabilities for
mechanical components using a first discretize, then adjoin approach. While deterministic …
