Development of Experimental Techniques and Predictive Tools to Characterise Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue Behaviour and Damage Mechanisms

Deliverables

Documents, reports (6)

Risk register and management

Risk analysis of the planned activities and a risk management plan will be delivered at M6 and updated regularly every 6 months.

Literature review of state-of-the-art on TMF life and crack propagation modelling

Report presenting findings from the technical review of the state-of-the-art of both CI and CP testing and prediction.

Report regarding the effect of heating methods on TMF CP rates

This deliverable will provide a study of the effect of heating methods on TMF crack propagation rates. It will identify any systematic difference of crack growth rates and determine underlying effects.

Present basis and plans for modelling approaches and development

The project partners will review existing modelling and simulation tools on TMF CI and CP life prediction to identify which modelling approaches have the most potential for application at the component level.

Internal Consortium Agreement

In order to set up the rules for the functioning of the consortium regarding management and exploitation of results the partners will sign a Consortium Agreement based on DESCA 2020 which is a comprehensive Model Consortium Agreement for Horizon 2020. It covers coordinator and partners' responsibilities, governance structure, access rights, etc.

Report regarding the effect of static and dynamic crack tip heating in induction field

High temperature can significantly affect the CP behaviour and therefore this deliverable will provide an assessment of static and dynamic crack tip heating in induction field. It will provide a full description of crack tip behaviour through temperature monitoring techniques.
