TidGen MHK Generator Composite Fatigue Analysis Procedure

Published by ORPC Inc. | Department of Energy | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-06-02T05:33:11Z
A procedure was described for performing a fatigue analysis of composite foils for an MHK generator. The steps included generating load data, S-N (Stress versus Number of cycles to failure) diagrams through fatigue testing, cycle counts, damage versus load, and cumulative damage. An illustrative analysis was then performed using representative S-N data.
