... a computation method that can be used to estimate the working life consumption of a steam turbine rotor. In the method, creep and low cycle material damage were considered. The calculations are based on the Palmgren–Miner hypothesis of linear damage accumulation. The computation was done utilizing the Microsoft...

...Yuan Mao Huang; Z. C. Yu This study analyzes the impacts of vanes on rotor slots by simulating the impacts of two plates in a sliding vane rotary compressor. The Hertzian contact rule and the first order shear deformation plate theory incorporating the shear deformation and the rotary inertia...

...Xiaoling Zhang This paper presents the common failure mechanisms of high temperature rotors and the engineering approaches to their remnant life prediction. In fatigue crack growth at the rotor bore, cracks from original forging defects or induced during long service life may grow under cyclic...
