Life Utilization Criteria Identification in Design (LUCID)

Abstract

LUCID has developed and demonstrated the capability to predict realistic engine usage during the conceptual design phase of a gas turbine design cycle. A method has been developed and demonstrated to include life and usage considerations as well as performance aspects in the process of selecting the optimal engine and aircraft definitions for an advanced military high performance application. This process also defines usage and life data for subsequent design and development efforts on the selected engine. These LUCID techniques allow trade-offs of engine life and performance parameters to be identified.
