... acceleration. The blades are subjected to aerodynamic excitation force obtained from thin cambered aerofoil theory under incompressible flow. The thermo-elastic forces are obtained from the three-dimensional non-linear heat transfer equations using the finite element analysis. The fatigue life is estimated...
