IMPROVED WEIGHT FUNCTIONS FOR STRESS INTENSITY FACTORS OF SEMI ELLIPTICAL CRACK IN STEAM TURBINE ROTOR SYSTEM

This paper presents weight function approach with piece wise polynomial interpolation function to determine the stress intensity factors at the surface and deepest points of a semi elliptical crack induced at the blade mounting locations of the rotor system. Initially, the mathematical model represe...
