In this paper, numerical analysis of the surface gas temperature on turbine blades has been performed to investigate the temperature profiles characteristics of a partial admission supersonic turbine driven by high temperature and pressure gas of pyro-starter with two different types of turbine blade edge shape. In order to examine the surface gas temperature on turbine blades at initial starting, computations tlave been carried out at several turbine rotational speeds in the range of $0{\sim}10,000$ rpm for each type of turbine edge shape. "Sharp" edge and "Round" edge types were taken as the turbine edge shape factor. As turbine rotational speed increased, the average temperature of turbine blades was further decreased. It was also found that the surface temperature of turbine blades with a sharp edge was lower than round-type edge turbine blades.

As the partial admission turbine has a intrinsically unsteady and three dimensional flow region, numerical calculation time of these study has been too long time. The numerical analysis for gas temperature of turbine blade surface has been performed to investigate development of temperature with various pyro start pressure. Computations have been carried out several turbine rotational speeds in the range from 0 to 16000 rpm and inlet conditions with 1423K, 7.2MPa. As a result, the more rotational speed and pyro starter pressure of turbine increased, the more turbine blade's temperature decreased. It is also found that flow field of turbine blade inlet area at pyro starter pressure of 5.75MPa and rotational speed of 12100 rpm formed surface temperature uniformly.

본 연구는 PC용 냉각팬의 효율적인 설계를 위하여 냉각팬의 형상 변경 및 블레이드의 수 변화를 통해서 PC 부품 발열체의 온도변화를 수치해석적으로 수행하였다. 기존의 냉각팬 형상을 기준으로 블레이드의 수를 변화시키고 실제 형상을 변경한 냉각팬을 동일한 설계 입력조건를 적용하여 비교 분석하여 냉각성능을 파악하였다. 두 Case를 비교한 결과 기존 형상은 블레이드의 수가 증가 할수록 냉각효과가 커졌고, 형상을 변경한 냉각팬의 경우 Blade 6에서 가장 큰 냉각 효과를 보였다. 그리고 Blade 6과 8을 비교해 봤을 때 두 블레이드 사이에서 온도차이는 미소한차이로 냉각효과를 비교하기 어려웠다. 두 Case에서 제작과정과 비용을 비교해 보았을 때 Case 2의 Blade 6 경우가 더 우수한 것으로 보아 형상을 변경한 블레이드에서 최적설계를 얻을 수가 있었다.

Temperature-dependent stress analysis and heat transfer analysis of a rotating gas turbine blade made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are presented considering turbine operating temperature and ceramic particle size. The material properties of functionally graded materials are assumed to vary continuously and smoothly across the thickness of the thin-walled blade. For obtaining system stiffness reflecting these characteristics, the one-dimensional heat transfer equation is applied along the thickness of the thin-walled blade for determining the temperature distribution. Using the results of the temperature analysis, the equations of motion of a rotating blade are derived with hybrid deformation variable modeling method along with the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode methods. The validity of the derived rotating blade model is evaluated by comparing its transient responses and temperature distribution with the results obtained using a commercial finite element code. The maximum tensile stress with operating speed and gradient index are obtained. Furthermore, the gradient index that minimizes blade temperature was investigated.

Temperature distribution in the GTD111 turbine blade used in power plaints is calculated by heat transfer analysis. Linear stress analysis of the turbine blade is also carried out under thermal loads and centrifugal forces. The numerical results of steady state heat transfer analysis slow that high temperature distribution occurs at the leading edge and tip section of the blade. The thermal stress result indicates that the equivalent stress at the tip of the pressure surface is higher than other sections of the blade. Maximum centrifugal stresses without the thermal effect occurs at the front of the fir tree. From the thermal-centrifugal stress analysis, maximum equivalent stress occurs at the fir tree. Stresses applied by the thermal loads and centrifugal forces are less than the yield stress. The GTD111 turbine blade is safe to be used in the power plants.

Gas turbine blades that have complex geometry of the cooling holes and cooling passages are usually subjected to cyclic and sustained thermal loads due to changes in the operating characteristic in combined power plants; these results in non-uniform temperature and stress distributions according to time to gas turbine blades. Those operation conditions cause creep or thermo-mechanical fatigue damage and reduce the lifetime of gas turbine blades. Thus, an accurate analysis of the stresses caused by various loading conditions is required to ensure the integrity and to ensure an accurate life assessment of the components of a gas turbine. It is well known that computational analysis such as cross-linking process including CFD, heat transfer and stress analysis is used as an alternative to demonstration test. In this paper, temperatures and stresses of gas turbine blade were calculated with fluid-structural analysis integrating fluid-thermal-solid analysis methodologies by considering actual operation conditions. Based on analysis results, additionally, the total lifetime was obtained using creep and thermo-mechanical damage model.

Smart sensors embedable in composite wind turbine blades have been required to be researched for monitoring the health status of large wind turbine blades during real-time operation. In this research, the feasibility of packaged FBG sensor probes was studied through the experiments of composite blade trailing edge specimens in order to detect cracking and debonding damages. The instants of cracking and debonding generated in the shear web were confirmed by rapid changes of the wavelength shifts from the bare FBG sensor probes. Packaged FBG sensor probes were proposed to remove the fragile property of bare FBG sensor probes attached on composite wind blade specimens. Strain and temperature sensitivity of fabricated probes installed on the skin of blade specimen were almost equal to those of a bare FBG sensor. Strain sensitivity was measured to be ${\mu}{\varepsilon}$/pm in a strain range from to 0 to 600 ${\mu}{\varepsilon}$, and the calculated temperature sensitivity was to be 48 pm/$^{\circ}C$ in the heating test up to 80 degree.
