Abstract
The search for more efficient gas turbine engines has led to the proposal for the replacement of metal high temperature components with ceramic components . Essential to this effort is the numerical analysis of proposed designs . This thesis report describes the model discretization of a proposed blade design, the development of pre- and post-processors for the ADINA finite element code and the initial stress analysis of the modeled blade.
