Influence of the Orientation of Shroud Contact Surfaces on the Static Stress State of Turbine Rotor Blades.

The paper presents the results of the computational experiments to determine the regularities in the variation of the static stress state characteristics of blades as a function of the inclination angle value of the shroud contact surfaces relative to the plane of rotor wheel rotation with a consideration of the action of centrifugal gravity forces and high temperatures of the gas flow.
