� The hot wall of a combustion chamber separates the hot gases
of ca. 3600 K from the hydrogen coolant of less than 100K.

� A combination of high temperatures, thermal gradients and pressure loads leads to
excessive inelastic deformations of the cooling channel structure.
� The deformation remains after shut down and accumulates with each operational cycle.
� The initially rectangular cooling channels distort to a roof-like geometry, called doghouse.

Summary and conclusionsSummary and conclusions
� In the case of the hot wall of rocket combustors, conventional life prediction methods considerably overestimate the life of the component.
� In order to improve the life prediction capabilities, a coupled material-damage model was formulated and implemented in ANSYS USERMAT.
� The damage evolution law was formally derived from an empirical fatigue equation and it was shown that a proper choice of parameters enables the model to also predict ductile rupture.
� The model was applied in a thermo-mechanical simulation of a combustion chamber and it was
shown that it considerably improves the life prediction accuracy.

OutlookOutlook
� The presented damage evolution law was mathematically derived from an empirical model and thus lacks of a sound physical basis.� Developments of micromechanical based damage models are presently running
� The material properties are probabilistic, so should be the model parameters� Sensitivity and statistical studies of the model input-output relations are planned
