Abstract
In this paper, a turbine disc of an aero-engine having a macro crack under creep loading is studied to predict the creep crack growth. Extended finite element method (XFEM) is used as it does not require conformal meshing and remeshing due to change in the topology during crack growth. The elasto-plastic behavior of the material is modelled by Ramberg-Osgood model and von-Mises yield criterion. The creep behavior is modelled by coupling of...
