Abstract

In Industries the Turbines are used for converting the forms of energy, the Blades are the key elements for turbines where the blades of the turbines experiences different types of failures. The common reason of these types of failures is the thermal stress which is experienced by the blades. The breakage point of blades depends upon the material used to make it. If we can have thermal stress analysis of the blade materials then it is easy to determine that under different conditions & up to which point, materials can resist. Having this information, a system having turbine can be analysed, according to that materials can be used to make blades. These blades can resist better than any other blades which can be used. In this work, models have been generated based on actual measurement of the blades which are used in industries for steam turbines. Applying the properties of different materials on these models, the simulation of thermal stress has been observed in this paper.
