| Abstract/Description: | The thesis presents a method of evaluation for blade damage in Combustion Turbine Compressor Section. This method involves use of multiple domains within a single Finite Element Model to predict the effect of damage on the blade properties. This approach offers significant time and effort savings when compared to traditional evaluation methods of similar problems. It is demonstrated via examples that the "multi-domain" modeling approach yields acceptable accuracy results. The economical implications of described method are readily applicable to both the industrial and the aerospace Combustion Turbine fields. It is economically impractical to replace the blade at each damage occurrence. However, the evaluation time involved in making associated decisions can be extensive if traditional methods of evaluation are used. The specific contributions of this study are twofold: 1. Time savings during evaluation 2. Compressor Blades may be returned to service which are otherwise replaced | |
