Integrated Turbopump Thermo-Mechanical Design and Analysis Tools
Abstract
This viewgraph presentation provides information on the thermo-mechanical design and analysis tools used to control the steady and transient thermo-mechanical effects which drive life, reliability, and cost. The thermo-mechanical analysis tools provide upfront design capability by effectively leveraging existing component design tools to analyze and control: fits, clearance, preload; cooling requirements; stress levels, LCF (low cycle fatigue) limits, and HCF (high cycle fatigue) margin.
