Fatigue life prediction of turbine blades with geometric imperfections made of stainless steel

This research addresses critical challenges faced by steam turbine blades, particularly in low-pressure (LP) turbines, where premature failures are common due to stress concentrations at the blade root area. The study introduces a numerical methodology aimed at predicting the life of mistuned steam...
