Improved High-Cycle Fatigue (HCF) Life Prediction

Abstract

An overall building block approach facilitated the development and adaptation of models for immediate application to each of the three in-service generated damage states (the foreign object damage (FOD) and fretting damage models are dependent on the low cycle fatigue / high cycle fatigue (LCF/HCF) and base-line models). The program demonstrated the overall approach for developing methods that can be adapted and integrated into engine company design practices. Approaches and models were developed to set go, no-go limits for predicting the onset of HCF- induced failures; these can be adapted and incorporated into engine company design systems and address: threshold crack nucleation and propagation behaviors, mean stresses, multiaxial stress states, load interaction (LCF/HCF) loadings, notch shapes, FOD, and contact conditions and fretting. In addition to these overall accomplishments, a great number of individual accomplishments in the baseline and LCF/HCF areas provided synergism for generating accomplishments in the FOD and fretting damage areas.
