Technology Brief: Optimization of Turbine Blade Dovetail Geometries Using Abaqus and Isight

Submitted by SIMULIA on

The reliability of a gas or steam turbine is strongly
dependent on the blade structural design. 
Turbine blades are subjected
to very strenuous environments such as high temperatures, high stresses, and a
potentially high vibration environment. To avoid blade failures, they must be
designed to withstand these conditions. 

what the strain gauge rosette measures is in status of plane strain or plane stress?

Submitted by Lin.Zhang on

I read some textbooks about mechanics of material. regarding strain measurement with strain gauge rosette, most of them regard it as  in the plain strain status.  But in my opinion, what the strain gauge rosette located is a fress surface. In this way, the thress stress components related to this plane, that is zz, zx, zy, should be zero, assuming that  the out normal of this plane is in the direction of Z axis.  then there are sigmaxx, sigma xy, sigmayy to be measured.  Is there anything wrong with my understanding?
