Life assessment methodology for turbogenerator rotors: Volume 4, SAFER (Stress and Fracture Evaluation of Rotors) code computer manuals

OSTI ID:5459577

Between 1976 and 1980, EPRI developed the original stress and fracture evaluation of rotors (SAFER) code in response to concerns about the possibility of turbogenerator rotor bursts. EPRI report NP-3091-CCMP documented version 8.3 of the SAFER code. Improvements to the latest release, version 9.0, extended it to include generator and high-temperature rotor analysis, making the code applicable to a much wider range of utility problems. This version of the code can also provide for statistical treatment of uncertainties and treat crack growth under high-temperature conditions.
