Creep and Damage Processes in Cyclically Loaded Model of Turbine Rotor
摘要
A novel approach to solving the creep-damage problem of cyclically loaded elements of power engineering structures is presented. Cycles of short duration caused by vibration as well as long cycles caused by turbine shutdowns are considered. The total hidden damage of the material is estimated taking into account the damage due to creep and high cycle fatigue. A formulation of the boundary – initial value problem based on the methods of many time scales and averaging over cycle periods is presented. The new results of solving the creep-damage problem in the model of the rotor are given for different cases of static and cyclic loading. It is shown that taking into account the accumulation of high cycle fatigue damage significantly reduces the time until the completion of the hidden damage accumulation and leads to the fracture development in rotor.
