Aero engine life evaluated for combined creep and fatigue, and extended by trading-off excess thrust

This thesis investigates the concept of thrust rating as a means towards reducing the life cycle costs of engine ownership. Towards this end, this thesis has discussed the concept of thrust rating, developed computer programs for mechanical load type failures, which include creep, LCF, and combinati...
