Rovisco Pais, 1, 1049-001 Lisboa, Portugal Abstract During their operation, modern aircraft engine components are subjected to increasingly demanding operating conditions, especially the high pressure turbine (HPT) blades. Such conditions cause these parts to undergo different types of time-dependent degradation, one of which is creep. A model using the finite element method (FEM) was developed, in order to be able to predict the creep behaviour of HPT blades. Flight data records (FDR) for a specific aircraft, provided by a commercial aviation company, were used to obtain thermal and mechanical data for three different flight cycles. In order to create the 3D model needed for the FEM analysis, a HPT blade scrap was scanned, and its chemical composition and material properties were obtained. The data that was gathered was fed into the FEM model and different simulations were run, first with a simplified 3D rectangular block shape, in order to better establish the model, and then with the real 3D mesh obtained from the blade scrap. The overall expected behaviour in terms of displacement was observed, in particular at the trailing edge of the blade. Therefore such a model can be useful in the goal of predicting turbine blade life, given a set of FDR data. Copyright © 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The composite has been developed combining the specific properties of ceramic and metal in order to improve the overall mechanical characteristic compared to the characteristics of the individual materials only. In particular, the purpose of the composite is to improve the fracture toughness of the single ceramic in order to use it as protection against impact. Finite element modeling and analysis of a microstructure-based model have been used to analyze the mech nical behaviour of the particle reinforced composite in a virtual tensile test. The microstructure-based model has been created from scanning electron microscopy (S.E.M.) images identifying the areas and the edges of the two components present in the composite. The microstructure-based approach has been chosen for calculating the elastic properties starting from the material behaviour at the grain level in the ceramic and metal particles. The properties of the different individual particles have been used separately as the input to define the global mechanical properties of the composite. The aim of this work is to create and validate the microstructure-based model by replicating the results available from experimental data for the elastic properties of the composite. Furthermore, the numerical results have been compared with analytical models for particle reinforced composites to have a wider knowledge of the capability of the model created. © 2017 The Authors.
