Abstract: Because deterministic optimum designs obtained without taking uncertainty into account could lead to unreliable designs, a reliability-based approach to design optimization is preferable using a ...

Abstract: A computational method for predicting unsteady viscous flow through two-dimensional cascades accurately and efficiently is presented. The method is intended to predict the onset of the aeroelastic ...

Abstract: The present investigation demonstrates the strong interaction of cavitating nozzle flow with the outside jet formation. Due to the strong sensitivity of cavitation on the imposed boundary conditions, ...

Abstract: In this paper, the component-mode-based methods formulated in the companion paper (Part I: Theoretical Models) are applied to the dynamic analysis of two example finite element models of bladed ...

Abstract: Component mode synthesis (CMS) techniques are widely used for dynamic analyses of complex structures. Significant computational savings can be achieved by using CMS, since a modal analysis is ...

Abstract: The effects of disk flexibility and multistage coupling on the dynamics of bladed disks with and without blade mistuning are investigated. Both free and forced responses are examined using ...

Abstract: Regulating machining forces provides significant economic benefits by increasing operation productivity and improving part quality. Machining force regulation is a challenging problem since the force ...

Abstract: In this work, an investigation is performed into developing a general framework for predicting the power flow between coupled component structures with uncertain system parameters. A specific ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional unsteady cavity flow through a cascade of hydrofoils is numerically calculated. Particular attention is focused on instability phenomena of a sheet cavity in the transient cavitation ...

Abstract: Computational and experimental studies are performed to investigate the effect of swirl flow of gas turbine exhaust gas (GTEG) in an inlet duct of a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). A ...
