Two series of low cycle fatigue (LCF) test data for two groups of different aircraft gas turbine engine compressor disk geometries were reanalyzed and compared using Weibull statistics. Both groups of disks were manufactured from titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy. A NASA Glenn Research Center developed probabilistic computer code Probable Cause was used to predict disk life and reliability. A material-life factor A was determined for titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy based upon fatigue disk data and successfully applied to predict the life of the disks as a function of speed. A comparison was made with the currently used life prediction method based upon crack growth rate. Applying an endurance limit to the computer code did not significantly affect the predicted lives under engine operating conditions. Failure location prediction correlates with those experimentally observed in the LCF tests. A reasonable correlation was obtained between the predicted disk lives using the Probable Cause code and a modified crack growth method for life prediction. Both methods slightly overpredict life for one disk group and significantly under predict it for the other.Melis, Matthew E. and Zaretsky, Erwin V. and August, RichardGlenn Research CenterAIRCRAFT ENGINES; GAS TURBINE ENGINES; PROBABILITY THEORY; RELIABILITY; FAILURE ANALYSIS; LIFE (DURABILITY); FATIGUE TESTS; WEIBULL DENSITY FUNCTIONS; PREDICTION ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES; STRESS ANALYSIS; THERMAL STRESSES; TEMPERATURE EFFECTS; RESIDUAL STRESS; CRACK PROPAGATION; COMPUTER PROGRAMS; ALUMINUM ALLOYS; TITANIUM ALLOYS; VANADIUM ALLOYS...
