Structure Optimization and Welding Residual Stress Analysis of Twin-Web Turbine Disc

This paper has proposed a new shape of the twin-web turbine disc. Based on a design optimization of the shape of the twin-web turbine disc by finite element numerical calculation, we analyzed welding types and carried out the simulation of the welding process and obtained the residual stress. Finally we got a 5.8% weight loss and summarized residual stress of the welding and proved the feasibility of the new shape.
