Executive Summary :

The study aims to develop a finite element formulation for thermal shock analysis of porous functionally graded pre-twisted turbine blades. The outer surface of the FGM blade is subjected to thermal shocks, while the inner surface is kept at a reference temperature. The study investigates the effects of thermal shock, rotational velocity, twist angle, porosity, blade thickness, and volume fraction index on thermal vibrations and transient thermal stresses.
