The failure probability of notched tensile bars is calculated using the multi-axial Weibull theory. The influence exerted by the stress concentration factor, the stress gradient in the notch root, and the Weibull exponent is analyzed.

At the Institut für Thermische Strömungsrnaschinen, University of Karlsruhe (ITS) a design technology has been introduced to reduce the mechanically and especially the thermally induced stresses in ceramic components. The concept is based on a three-layered construction (outer ceramic shell - heat insulating layer - metallic core) and an optimization of the thicknesses of the single layers, in order to obtain a homogenous temperature distribution in the ceramic structure. The optimization is performed by finite element analyses in combination with failure probability calculations. This methodology has been applied to increase the reliability of a first stage Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC) ceramic nozzle vane of a stationary gas turbine (70MW/1400°C). As a result it was found that the mechanically and thermally induced loads have been reduced considerably and do not exceed 100MPa, thus achieving adequate life based upon failure probability calculations. Even in a trip situation (fuel cutoff), when the highest loads do occur, the calculations demonstrate a significantly reduced failure probability. The results of the finite element analyses were verified by simulating the typical operating conditions after fuel cutoff in a test rig.

The time-dependent reliability of ceramic components subjected to high temperature loading can be analysed using multiaxial Weibull theory and its generalisations. In this approach it is assumed that no additional flaws are initiated during exposure to high temperatures. However, this may not be true in a highly corrosive environment such as in a combustion chamber. Additional flaws can be generated by surface oxidation, volume damage or by formation of circular pits on the surface of the component. These cases are considered in this paper. The relations for the failure probabilities are derived starting from classical Weibull theory. A fastener bolt for the ceramic lining of a combustion chamber is considered as an example.
