Abstract: Woven structures are steadily emerging as excellent reinforcing components in composite materials. Metallic woven meshes, unlike most woven fabrics, show high potential for strengthening via classical methods such as heat ...

Abstract: Nickel-base superalloys (NBSAs) are a group of materials that are used in high-temperature applications. This work primarily focuses on directionally solidified (DS) NBSAs. Directionally solidified materials are comprised ...

Abstract: While industrial gas turbine blades are commonly designed to resist creep and high-cycle fatigue (HCF) failure, the combination of these two loading conditions is seldom considered. The effect of creep damage elicited prior ...

Abstract: With the significant evolution of modern gas turbine engines, selection of high-temperature resistant alloys in the hot section is known to be the fundamental solution to enhance the capabilities of these engines. In ...

Abstract: Creep deformation in turbomachinery applications is a highly nonlinear phenomenon where ±15 °C may halve or double the average rupture life. Even in well-controlled laboratory conditions, this stochastic nature means that ...

Abstract: Simulation plays a critical role in the development and evaluation of critical components that are regularly subjected to mechanical loads at elevated temperatures. The cost, applicability, and accuracy of either numerical ...

Abstract: Next-generation, reusable hypersonic aircraft will be subjected to extreme environments that produce complex fatigue loads at high temperatures, reminiscent of the life-limiting thermal and mechanical loads present in large ...

Abstract: Joints gasketed with viscoelastic seals often receive an application of a secondary torque, i.e., retorque, in order to ensure joint tightness and proper sealing. The importance of understanding gasketed joint behavior ...

Abstract: The additive manufacturing (AM) process is unique in that it can facilitate anisotropy because of the layer-by-layer deposition technique intrinsic to this process. In order to develop a component for a desired application, ...
