ICTM Aachen – International Center for Turbomachinery ManufacturingValidation of a predictive method for part distortion in turning turbine disks due to residual stresses
How reliably can part distortion be predicted with FCM when turning turbine disks?
Challenge and Motivation
- Distortion caused by residual stresses (RS) is a major challenge in the manufacturing of thin-walled turbine discs from high-temperature materials.
- A predictive method based on the Finite Cell Method (FCM) has been developed, but the confidence in simulation results must be increased.
Objective
- Systematically validated Simulation code
- Develop best practice guidelines for the reliable prediction of distortion caused by residual stresses in turbine disks.
