讲座一：Needs and Challenges for Ensuring Structural Integrity,Reliability and Safety of Gas Turbine Engines–focus on Fatigue Life Assessment and Prediction Technology

讲座时间：2015年7月6日上午9:00

讲座地点：能源馆220会议室

讲座人：Herman Shen教授

讲座内容：

As we are all aware of, engineered structures are susceptible to fatigue failure upon an excess of loading cycles, wherein the quantity of excess is dependent upon both the nature of the thermomechanical loading and the attendant material processes activated under prescribed operating conditions. Fatigue life assessment and prediction is difficult even for circumstances involving simple loading; as such, the juncture of intricate loading and hostile operating environment endemic to structures like gas turbine hardware presents a considerable obstacle. Nevertheless, the necessity of developing accurate lifing assessment and design tools for complex loading, hostile operating conditions, and material degradation cannot be ignored, as the fatigue failure of gas turbine components has been attributed to a variety of disasters and financial lost. For that, Dr. Shen has developed a novel energy-based lifing framework for assessing and prediction of fatigue (high cycle, low cycle, TMF, and creep-fatigue) lives under real world loading conditions. Dr. Shen’s research approach, in general, is trying to approach the structural lifing management problem based on simple energy theory which states: the total strain energy dissipated during both a quasi-static process and a dynamic process are equivalent. A summary of Dr. Shen’s contributions in the subject areas will be presented.
