Engines according to study, has a limited life cycle of 60 thousand. In circumstances that are unknown it shows that blades tend to show signs of fatigue cracks at 20 thousand cycles which leads to detrimental effects on the aircraft at its 60 thousand cycle. With this problem, airliners replace their aircraft blades when signs of cracks begin to show which makes turbine blades not cost effective and reliable to reach its life limit of 60 thousand cycles as it may cause the aircraft to fail in unprecedented circumstances to fatal accidents. In the past decades, the TET or the turbine entry temperature of aircrafts have significantly increased. The improvement of the turbine ability, efficiency represents a challenge blades as studied, at a certain life cycle and with this drawback could make the entire engine fail.
The reason I choose this Turbine blade-based scenario is because engine failures in Aviation have been rising due to fatigue. The turbines are considered to be exposed to fluctuating loads that result in high cyclic fatigue and stress that propagates through loads of tension. Crack spread by 2 forms Low & High Loop Fatigue has to do the deformations because the LCF is defined by repetitive plastic deformation in each process in which elastic deformation characterizes the HCF.The amount of cycles loss is small for LCF and high for HCF, thus low and high cycle fatigue, LCF and HCF transformation is dependent on stress rates between plastic and elastic deformations. Where the stress applied is below the material's elastic limit and the number of cycles to failure is large. In a fairly significant amount of periods, the structure exists at breakdown, and pressures and strains remain beyond the material's elastic spectrum to adjust. However, engine failures are mainly attributed to part malfunctions, turbine blade fatigue leads to this as well as triggering systemic failure. While engines have a dispatch rating between 99.99 percent and 99.89 percent, it will not correctly classify the faults during the trip, with this the loss between 0.01 or 0.11 percent may prove lethal to the aircraft's reputation and efficiency. I should then be likely to conclude from this work about how to boost the strength of blades based about their architecture or through preventive methods.
