Fatigue life prediction of turbine blades with geometric imperfections made of stainless steel

Makgwantsha Hermelton Mashiachidi,
Dawood A. Desai

Abstract: This research addresses critical challenges faced by steam turbine blades, particularly in low-pressure (LP) turbines, where premature failures are common due to stress concentrations at the blade root area. The study introduces a numerical methodology aimed at predicting the life of mistuned steam turbine blades, with a focus on variations in blade geometry which have received limited exploration in existing literature. A simplified, scaled-down mistuned steam turbine bladed disc model was developed using Aba… Show more
