A 3D model shows how cracks propagate in gas turbine blade

Upwards, downwards or sideways. Quickly or slowly. Evenly or unevenly. New research at LiU shows how cracks propagate in gas turbine blades. The results may have far-reaching industrial implications. Extreme stress Just consider – a temperature of 500 °C and repeated loading corresponding to the weight of a truck.
