Low cycle fatigue analysis of a last stage steam turbine blade

The present paper deals with the low cycle fatigue analysis of the low pressure (LP) steam turbine blade. The blade is cyclically loaded by the centrifugal force because of the repeated startups of the turbine. The goal of the research is to develop a technique to assess fatigue life of the blade an...
