Advanced Materials Test Methods for Improved Life Prediction of Turbine Engine Components

Abstract

Phase I final report developed under SBIR contract for Topic # AF00-149, "Durability of Turbine Engine Materials/Advanced Material Test Methods for Improved Use Prediction of Turbine Engine Components". All tasks were completed which included: 1) Customer Needs analysis 2) Develop and demonstrate a functional DCPD software module of WinMATE 2000, including all support system modules. 3) Demonstrate WEB based training method and features for WinMATE training tools. 4) Develop a commercialization strategy and alliances. The WinMATE DCPD software module was demonstrated as well as all of the supporting modules required to set up test parameters. communicate with data channels, display real-time data, and store configurations and data for later retrieval. The training requirements have been studied and a functional, web-based example of the learning tool was constructed and demonstrated. The work completed during Phase I of this effort has culminated in a strategic plan to meet the Phase II project objectives. We have demonstrated the technical feasibility of creating full-scale versions of the WinMATE software and learning tools. We have demonstrated the commercial feasibility of the WinMATE technology and developed commercial alliances market entry.
