Abstract-
Every startup and shutdown of gas turbine engine the turbine blades are subjected to high centrifugal force due to high
rotational speed and also operated at high critical environmental condition. So that the turbine blades are fails by fatigue is
common. Based on the stress result the analysis is based on stress based fatigue assessment or strain based fatigue
assessment. This paper summarizes the design and analysis of Gas turbine blade, CATIA is used for design of solid model
and ANSYS14.0 software for analysis for F.E. model generated, by applying boundary condition, this paper also includes
specific post processing and life assessment of blade. How the program makes effective use of the ANSYS14.0 pre-
processor to mesh complex gas turbine engine blade geometries and apply boundary conditions. Plastic deformation on the
blade leads to low cycle fatigue, which is based on strain life approach.

to low cycle fatigue because the von misses stress is
5. Fatigue ductility coefficient 0.396
more than the yield strength of the material.
6. Fatigue ductility exponent -0.684
F. Engine Speed vs. Time (per cycle)
From the engine rotational speed 3000 rpm, the total
running time of the engine per cycle is 8hours (28800sec)
