Abstract

Failure analysis of a giant compressor cracked cylinder has been performed using complex numerical and experimental methods. Further operating parameters for expected lifetime (with regard to the crack propagation) at reduced pressure are given based on the results of the investigations.

Keywords

Crack; crack propagation; compressor; FEM; fatigue; fracture; lifetime
