Abstract
This study utilizes the rank correlation coefficient to examine the multi‐site failure correlation of turbine discs. Drawing from the stress‐strength interference model, reliability models both with and without factoring in the multi‐site failure correlation are constructed. Furthermore, the weakest link theory (WLT) within the context of the Weibull distribution function is invoked to develop a model for predicting the fatigue life of turbine discs, taking into account the quantity of critical sections. The variability in the low cycle fatigue (LCF) of turbine discs is scrutinized, leading to the formulation of a probabilistic fatigue life prediction method for these discs. When comparing theoretical values with experimental ones, it becomes evident that factoring in the multi‐site failure correlation significantly enhances the accuracy of turbine disc life predictions.
期刊介绍:
Quality and Reliability Engineering International is a journal devoted to practical engineering aspects of quality and reliability. A refereed technical journal published eight times per year, it covers the development and practical application of existing theoretical methods, research and industrial practices. Articles in the journal will be concerned with case studies, tutorial-type reviews and also with applications of new or well-known theory to the solution of actual quality and reliability problems in engineering.
Papers describing the use of mathematical and statistical tools to solve real life industrial problems are encouraged, provided that the emphasis is placed on practical applications and demonstrated case studies.
The scope of the journal is intended to include components, physics of failure, equipment and systems from the fields of electronic, electrical, mechanical and systems engineering. The areas of communications, aerospace, automotive, railways, shipboard equipment, control engineering and consumer products are all covered by the journal.
Quality and reliability of hardware as well as software are covered. Papers on software engineering and its impact on product quality and reliability are encouraged. The journal will also cover the management of quality and reliability in the engineering industry.
Special issues on a variety of key topics are published every year and contribute to the enhancement of Quality and Reliability Engineering International as a major reference in its field.
