Abstract— The gas turbine obtains its power by utilizing the energy of burnt gases and the air which is at high temperature and pressure by expanding through the several rings of fixed and moving blades. Since the turbine blades are working at high temperature and pressure there are extreme stresses developed on turbine blades. The first centrifugal stresses act on the blade due to high angular speeds, and second is thermal stresses that arise due to temperature gradient within the blade material. The present paper is review of various analyses done on turbine blades and there are various factors affects on turbine blade. This paper will be helpful for those who are working in the area of power plants.
