Materials and Strength of Gas Turbine Parts

The book "Materials and Strength of Gas Turbine Parts" offers a comprehensive analysis of the mechanical and materials engineering challenges encountered in gas turbine components. It addresses accelerated testing and various methods to enhance the reliability of gas turbine engines. Special attention is given to non-traditional approaches for calculating the strength characteristics and lifespan of the main components. The first volume focuses on material selection as well as deformation and failure mechanisms related to steady-state and non-steady-state loads. Additionally, various types of material damage, such as thermal fatigue, are discussed in detail. The book highlights the properties of single crystal alloys, the relationship between structure and properties, and the influence of technological factors and long-term usage. It provides detailed information on creep resistance, crack resistance, and the resilience against cyclic deformations of different alloys.
