Keywords: modal analysis, turbine spacer, pre-stressed

This paper presents an overview of the finite element analyses conducted on a turbine spacer from a gas turbine engine in order to determine possible high cycle fatigue failure modes related to cracking of the spacer. A summary of the modelling, analysis process and results are outlined in this report.
