Objective
Develop a methodology to predict the time-dependent reliability (probability of survival) of brittle material components subjected to transient thermomechanical loading, taking into account the change in material response with time.
Transient reliability analysis
Fully Transient Component Life Prediction
MOTIVATION: To be able predict brittle material component integrity over a simulated engine operating cycle
REQUIRES:
• Life prediction models that account for: - transient mechanical & temperature loads - transient Weibull and fatigue parameters (temperature/time)
• Interface codes that transfer transient analysis finite element results into life prediction codes (CARES/Life)

Some References Regarding Transient Reliability Analysis
Transient Life Prediction TheoryFor Slow Crack Growth
Assumptions:
• Component load and temperature history discretized into short time steps
• Material properties, loads, and temperature assumed constant over each time step
• Weibull and fatigue parameters allowed to vary over each time step – including Weibull modulus
• Failure probability at the end of a time step and the beginning of the next time step are equal

Conclusions
A computationally efficient methodology for computing the transient reliability in ceramic components subjected to cyclic thermomechanical loading was developed for power law (SCG), and combined power & Walker law (SCG & cyclic fatigue).
This methodology accounts for varying stresses as well as varying Weibull and fatigue parameters with time/temperature.
FORTRAN routines have been coded for the CARES/Life (version 6.0), and examples demonstrating the program viability & capability were presented.
