Aiming at the urgent demand for the development of life management for aero-engine in China,this study reviewed five kinds of lifetime assessment methods for aero-engine turbine disk,including the predicted safe cyclic life life-time assessment method,the 2/3 dysfunction lifetime assessment method,the databank lifetime assessment method,the damage tolerance lifetime assessment method and the retirement for cause lifetime assessment method.Firstly,the development trends and prospects of lifetime assessment methods for turbine disk were systematically analyzed from three perspectives of non-destructive testing and online monitoring techniques,load and failure mode analysis techniques and advanced fatigue life prediction methods.Secondly,combined with practical engineering cases,the reliability assessment procedures,parameter determination and applicable conditions of the selected lifetime as-sessment method were introduced.And the impact of the number of test samples and different life distribution as-sumptions on the lifetime assessment results were explored.Finally,the existing research work and future develop-ment trends of turbine disk lifetime assessment methods were summarized.It was pointed out that the lifetime as-sessment of aero-engine turbine disk in China should aim at fully tap into the life potential of components,and based on practical engineering needs,combining with related advanced technologies such as new sensor,digital twins and machine learning,in order to further improve the reliability and economy of the entire life cycle of aero-engine.
