Summary on Grant Application Form
1. Measure non-destructively by neutro diffraction the residual stress distributions introduced into gas turbine components by a variety of manufacturing processes. 2. Make comparisons of the results with finite element models of the processes.3. Develop methods for incorporating the residual stress state into component lifetime assessment methods.
