Popis: Testing and simulation of aero-engine spectra with dwell times are reported in this paper. The modeling concept used is built on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and provides a history-dependent evolution description of dwell damage and its interaction with cyclic load. The simulations have been carried out for three spectra: (1) cyclic loads, (2) combined sustained load and cyclic loads, and (3) slow load ramps and cyclic loads, all for surface cracks at 550 °C for Inconel 718. All simulations show reasonable good agreement with experimental results. Prediction of multiple tests of several batches is also provided to show statistical scatter.
