Abstract:

A lognormal statistical model was developed for the prediction of crack growth damage accumulations of superalloys under a block type spectrum loading at elevated temperature. Both the distribution of crack length at any given service time and the distribution of service time to reach any given crack length were predicted. These theoretical predictions were compared with test data from twelve specimen tests for IN100, a nickel-base superalloy, generated under a block type spectrum. A good correlation was obtained between the predicted distributions and the test results.
