Aero Engine Combustor Casing: Experimental Design and Fatigue Studies

DescriptionThe book is focused on theoretical and experimental investigation aimed at detecting and selecting proper information related to the fundamental aspect of combustion casing design, performance and life evaluation parameters. A rational approach has been adopted to the analysis domain underlying the complexities of the process.Key FeaturesPresents theoretical investigation of life evaluation techniquesIllustrates exhaustive information about fatigue life of an aero engine combustorAdopts a rational approach to the analysis domain underlying the complexities of the processIncludes fatigue life calculations and related experiments for a gas turbine combustor caseDetails about performing an experimental/numerical design of the combustorSummaryTable of ContentsIntroduction.Fatigue Design Philosophy of Aero Engine Combustor Casing.Development of Test Facility and Test Setup.Manufacturing of an aero engine combustor casing, its experimental evaluation of fatigue life and correlation with numerical results.Re assessment of Fatigue Life of the Modified Combustor Casing.Safety Test on Modified Combustor Casing.Effect of Fatigue on Proof Strength of an Aero Engine Combustor Casing.Conclusions.
