Turbine blade has trouble of cracking at root region. Fracture surface of blade root is surveyed by SEM and AFM to clear relation between fracture mechanical parameter and surface parameter (striation width and surface roughness). Service stress is predicted by maximum height roughness $R_{max}$, on fractured surface and stress analysis on turbine blade. It is to thought that turbine blade is fractured by abnormal condition such as incorrect fittings between pin and pin hole but isn't fractured by normal service conditions such as steam pressure, centrifugal force and torsional force.

This paper describes the structural design of small wind turbine blade by using design of experiments. Blade structure consists of skin, spar and foam. The materials for skin and spar are a kind of Glass/Epoxy and form is polyurethane. It has 7 lay-ups with different ply angle. A factorial design is applied to design the ply angles considering manufacturing constraints and to investigate the safety factor which is calculated by structural analysis. In order to perform the structural analysis, the commercial software ABAQUS is used. Tsai-Wu failure criterion is chosen to compute safety factor. The determination of the significance of effects in the experiments is made through the analysis of variance. The results show that ply angle at skin affects the safety factor of wind turbine blade. And from this result, optimal ply angles of composite blade are achieved.

In this paper, the optimal design of composite rotor blade cross-section is performed using a genetic algorithm. Skin thickness, torsion box thickness and skin lay-up angle are adopted as discrete design variables. The position and width of a torsion box are considered as continuous variables. An object function of optimal design is to minimize the mass of a rotor blade, and constraints are failure index, center mass, natural frequency and blade minimum mass per unit length. Finally, design variables such as the thickness and lay-up angles of a skin, and the thickness, position and width of a torsion box are determined by using an in-house program developed for the optimal design of rotor blade cross-section.

In this paper, optimal design of composite rotor blade cross-section to consider manufacturability was performed. Skin thickness, torsion box thickness and skin lay-up angle were adopted as discrete design variables and The position and width of a torsion box were considered as continuous variables. An object function of optimal design is to minimize the mass of a rotor blade, and various constraints such as failure index, center mass, shear center, natural frequency and blade minimum mass per unit length were adopted. Finally, design variables such as the thickness and lay-up angles of a skin, and the thickness, position and width of a torsion box were determined by using an in-house program developed for the optimal design of rotor blade cross-section.

Last blades of LP turbine in nuclear power plant are the highly damaged part and suffered from nozzle steam impulses during the turbine operation. Nozzle impulse is known as a common cause of damage or failure in the turbine blade and results from steam flow distortions due to uneven steam flow patterns between the stationary blade vanes. If impulse force was continuously acting on the blade for a long time, crack or wear will occur in weak parts such as root. So, it is important to know variation of nozzle impulse during the blade moving. But there is no way to measure and estimate the magnitude and direction of nozzle impulse. Therefore, this study was performed to know the variation of nozzle impulse force according to the positions of the blade and to obtain blade equivalent force and torque. This results can be used for blade stress estimation.

This paper presents a review study for energy-efficient gas turbines (GTs) with cycles which contributes significantly towards sustainable usage. Nonetheless, these progressive engines, operative at turbine inlet temperatures as high as $1600^{\circ}C$, require the employment of highly creep resistant materials for use in hotter section components of gas turbines like combustion chamber and blades. However, the gas turbine obtain its driving power by utilizing the energy of treated gases and air which is at piercing temperature and pushing by expanding through the several rings of steady and vibratory blades. Since the turbine blades works at very high temperature and pressure, high stress concentration are observed on the blades. With the increasing demand of service, to provide adequate efficiency and power within the optimized level, turbine blades are to be made of those materials which can withstand high thermal and working load condition for longer cycle time. This paper depicts the recent developments in the field of implementing the best suited materials for the GTs, selection of proper Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC), fracture analysis and experiments on failed or used turbine blades and several other designing and operating factors which are effecting the blade life and efficiency. It is revealed that Nickel based Superalloys were promising, Cast Iron with Zirconium and Pt-Al coatings are used as best TBC material, material defects are the foremost and prominent reason for blade failure.

The reliability of blade root fixing section is required to endure the centrifugal force and vibration stress for the last stage blade of steam turbine in thermal power plant. Most of the domestic steam turbine last stage blades have finger type roots. The finger type blade is very complex, so the inspection had been performed only on the exposed fixing pin cross-section area due to the difficulty of inspection. But the centrifugal force and vibration stress are also applied at the blade root finger and the crack generates, so the inspection method for finger section is necessary. For the inspection of root finger, inspection points were decided by simulating ultra-sonic path with 3D modeling, curve-shape probe and fixing jig were invented, and the characteristics analysis method of ultrasonic reflection signal and defect signal disposition method were invented. This invented method was actually executed at site and prevented the blade liberation failure by detecting the cracks at the fingers. Also, the same type blades of the other turbines were inspected periodically and the reliability of the turbine increased.

원자력발전소 터빈 계통의 손상중에서 blade의 파손에 따른 원전의 불시 정지가 발생함에 따라 blade 균열 검출을 위한 초음파 검사의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 터빈 blade root부 결함 탐지를 위한 초음파검사 방법은 그 형상의 복잡성으로 인하여 검사 기술이 아직 확립되지 자아 검사의 신뢰성 확보에 대한 많은 연구가 요망되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 터빈 blade에 인공 결함을 가공한 다음 초음파 검사시 복잡한 형상을 가진 blade root부 구멍 주위의 결함 검출 능력, skew angle 영향, 실제 결함과 기하학적 신호사이의 신호 구분에 대한 내용를 조사하였으며, 또한 RF 신호수집, 해석을 통하여 신호 분류 특성에 대한 연구도 병행하였다. 실험 결과 pin hole 주위의 초음파 균열 탐지를 위하여 인공 결함이 있는 blade 시편을 이용함으로 결함 검출을 위한 최적 검사조건의 도출이 가능하였고, blade의 복잡형상에 기인한 기하학적 영향을 줄이기 위해서는 skew angle 이 필수적인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 적용하면 blade root부위의 내부 균열 탐지를 위해 blade 를 해체함이 없이 현장 검사의 신뢰도를 제고할 수 있다.

Every mechanical system has a series of natural frequencies at which it will vibrate and to which it will respond if an external stimulus or excitation at this frequency is applied. Vibration is not of itself dangerous, and is always anticipated in an operating unit. However, if the frequency of operation is coincidental with one of the natural frequency of the blade system or the blade has a natural frequency near coincide with the exciting stimulus, then the amplitude of vibration of the blade may increase to the destructive damage can result. In this paper We investigated damage of blade when turbine operated.
