Abstract:This study explores the intricate factors affecting the fatigue life of steam turbine blades, encompassing steam flow-induced bending, centrifugal loading, vibration response, structural mistuning, and temperature-dependent influences. By focusing on the significance of mistuned steam turbine blades with varying blade geometries due to manufacturing tolerances, this research has paramount relevance for the power generation industries. By employing finite element analysis (FEA) software, a simplified, mistuned,… Show more
