Abstract

A nonlinear Continuum Damage Mechanics model (CDM) is proposed to assess the low cycle fatigue life of a steam turbine rotor, in which the effects of mean stress are taken into account and the damage is accumulated nonlinearly. The model is applied to a 200 MW steam turbine under cold start and sliding parameter stop. The results are compared with those from the linear accumulation theory that is dominant in life assessment of steam turbine rotors at present. The comparison results show that the nonlinear CDM model describes the accumulation and development of damage better than the linear accumulation theory.
