58 Mircea O. Popoviciu, Ilare Bor<strong>de</strong>asu, Liviu MarsavinaConclusions1. The Bulb turbines shaft work in condition of corrosive fatigue. The atmosphereloa<strong>de</strong>d with fog and water vapors is due to minor <strong>de</strong>ficiencies of the sealing<strong>de</strong>vices as well as to the water.2. The crack results from fatigue phenomenon induced by the variable loads.3. The evolution of crack propagation was obtained using the Fracture Mechanicsconcepts, in the linear elastic domain, in the case of ben<strong>din</strong>g plus tension witha pulsating cycle.4. Using the fatigue module ANSYS v.11, we obtained a minimum duration untilthe initiation of fissures in the connection zone of N i = 3.0136 10 8 cycles,equivalent with 80,370 service hours.5. The simulation for crack increase until d = 16 mm (<strong>de</strong>pth) and 2 c = 64 mm(length) lead to a service duration of approximately 153.243 hours andapproximately 159737 hours until the piercing of the shaft wall, which impliesthe shaft replacement.6. The obtained results are of <strong>de</strong>ep interest for establishing the inspection periodsfor the Bulb units in the Power Station Iron Gates II.R E F E R E N C E S[1] Forman R. G., Hearney V.
