Abstract
- One of the main mechanisms of turbine rotor damage is cyclic thermal stress produced during transition conditions, such as warm-up and shutdown processes. In this paper, the cyclic damage with ramp rate is studied in terms of material properties. To evaluate thermal stress damage during the cyclic operation, experiments were carried out on low cycle fatigue with hold time and a range of strain rates for COST FB2, 9Cr ferritic steel. Initially, the experimental fatigue life was evaluated using the time fraction and ductility exhaustion methods. The two analysis methods are compared with real life cases of different hold times and strain rates, and the accuracy is discussed. Next, to predict the plastic deformation curve for low cycle fatigue with hold time more accurately, an attempt was made to simulate cyclic hysteresis loop behaviour numerically using a time dependent viscoplastic constitutive model, and this was compared with the experimental hysteresis loop curve for each cycle number.
