Advanced turbine disk designs to increase reliability of aircraft enginesResults of analytical studies to improve the low cycle fatigue lives and reliability of turbine disks in high-performance gas turbine engines are presented. Advanced disk concepts were evaluated for the first-stage high pressure turbines of the CF6-50 and JT8D-17 engines. The advanced disk designs are compared to the existing disks on the bases of cycles to crack initiation and overspeed capability for initially unflawed disks, crack propagation cycles to failure for initially flawed disks, and available kinetic energy of disk burst fragments.
