M. Naeem et al., Implications of engine's deterioration upon an aero-engine HP turbine blade's thermal fatigue life, INT J FATIG, 22(2), 2000, pp. 147-160
Possessing a better knowledge of the impacts of engine deterioration upon a
n aircraft's performance as well as its fuel and component life usage, help
s the users make wiser management decisions and hence achieve improved engi
ne utilization. For a military aircraft, using a computer performance simul
ation, the consequences of engine deterioration on a high pressure turbine
blade's thermal fatigue life are predicted. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
