Characterisation of Thermo-mechanical Fatigue Behaviour

The proposed project is focused on the development of predictive tools and experimental techniques to characterise thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) crack initiation (CI) and crack propagation (CP). Experimental data will support the calibration and validation of the predictive tools, where characterisation of the metallurgical damage mechanisms is required to support this.  Please refer for the full and formal topic description to Annex III of the Clean Sky 2 Work Plan 2014-2015 Amendment nr. 1  Version 3 (see under the tab ""Topic Conditions and Documents"")
