8、mponents.Both the cool parts and hot parts are susceptible to this mode of failure,and the origin may be either mechanical or thermal.The importance of fatigue as a limiting factor in jet engine reliability was brought out clearly in a study conducted some time ago by the NACA(the forerunner of the
9、NASA).This study was made in the middle 1950s(Ref 1)on military jet engines,using statistics obtained from Air Force overhaul bases as a framework for the analysis.All the major components studied-bearings,com-pressor blades,combustors,turbine nozzle vanes and buckets,and turbine disks were,to a ser
10、ious extent,life limited,because of fatigue problems.Some of the problems encountered were due to the high performance demanded of the engines by the military requirements;others were due to the fact that the jet engine was then in its early formative years and experience was limited.How-ever,the ma
11、jor reason for the prevalence of the fatigue problem relates to the very nature of the service to which jet engine components are subjected.High fluctu-ating loads,high temperatures and temperature gradients,frequent starts and stops,stress concentrations resulting from complex geometrical shapes an
12、d from surface discontinuities produced by service conditions-all contribute to making the components fatigue-prone.Add to this the fact that light weight and high performance provide the strongest of motivations in gas turbine design and service,and it becomes clear that fatigue will continue to be
13、 an important limitation in the life of gas turbine engines.The NACA study(Ref 1),it is true,related to gas turbine engines of early design in which information now available could not be incorporated.Also,in military engines,performance comes first;cost of overhaul and frequent part replacement is
14、accepted as an appropriate price to pay for the high performance sought.It might be properly asked whether the picture has not changed in the intervening years,and whether trade-offs between performance and life cannot be suitably made in commercial gas turbines for both stationary and aircraft use.
15、To a limited extent the answer to both of these questions is affirmative.Much research has been conducted in the intervening years since the NACA study was made,and this information can be well used to increase fatigue life of corn-1 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Center Staff,F
