Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) are nowadays largely used for electrical and thermal energy production in small buildings households. Their reliability compactness allow them to operate thousands of hours with minimal maintenance. However, the long exposure at high temperatures combustion chambers can promote creep, which induce fatigue potential failure these components. Creep-induced damage MGTs ha...

Determining the fatigue behaviour of metallic materials using standardised testing methods is costly and time-consuming. Therefore, several have been proposed to shorten time improve optimisation components. This work presents a new method based on damage monitoring that allows determining resistance in short with few specimens. The presented method, named as stiffness monitors inelastic strain...
