Transverse Crack Modeling and Validation in Rotor Systems Including Thermal Effects by N. Bachschmid, P. Pennacchi, E. Tanzi, S. Audebert

“…An original simplified model is described that allows cracks of different shape to be modeled and thermal stresses to be taken into account, since they may influence the opening and closing mechanism. The proposed method has been validated using two criteria. Firstly, the crack “breathing” mechanism, simulated with the model, has been compared with the results obtained by a nonlinear 3-D FEM calculation and a good agreement in the results has been observed. …”
