Computer technology of the thermal stress state and fatigue life analysis of turbine engine exhaust support frames

Abstract

An advanced computer technology of the thermal stress state and fatigue life analysis of turbine engine exhaust support frames based on the use of licensed engineering analysis software, as well as some specialized home codes are presented in the paper. The developed technology allows perform simulations for the full model of the structure, not only for the typical fragments models, and increase an accuracy of calculations and significantly reduce a design time.
