Characterization and modeling of thermo-mechanical fatigue crack growth in a single crystal superalloy
Turbine engine blades are subjected to extreme conditions characterized by significant and simultaneous excursions in both stress and temperature. These conditions promote thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) crack growth which can significantly reduce component design life beyond that which would be pre...
