摘要
Numerical analyses based on the finite element (FE) method and remeshing techniques have been employed in order to develop a damage tolerance approach to be used for the design of aeroengines shaft components. Preliminary experimental tests have permitted the calculation of fatigue crack growth parameters for the high strength alloy steel adopted in this research. Then, a robust numerical study have been carried out to understand the influence of various factors (such as: crack shape, crack closure) on non-planar crack evolution in solid and hollow shafts under mixed-mode loading. The FE analyses have displayed a satisfactory agreement compared to experimental data on compact specimens (CT) and solid shafts. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
