Abstract

In the present study, a computational-experimental framework is developed for fatigue reliability assessment of turbine bladed disks. Within the framework, the overspeed testing is innovatively combined with stochastic finite element (FE) analysis for quantifying uncertainties in the experimental data, material properties and loads. Meanwhile, two schemes are elaborated based on probabilistic S-N curves and stochastic FE simulation coupling with sampling technique. The stochastic FE simulation incorporates the Chaboche constitutive model with Fatemi–Socie criterion for fatigue behavior modeling and life prediction. Moreover, experimental deformation and numerical FE analysis are conducted with regard to the full-scale bladed disk test with increased step-stress overloading. Reliability sensitivity analysis is performed to provide an importance ranking of random variables for fatigue design of the bladed disk. Results indicate that stochastic FE analysis-based scheme provides more conservative predictions than the probabilistic S-N curves-based one.
