Abstract: The compliant mechanism can effectively reduce friction and eliminate the joint gap during the motion. The performances of compliant joints directly determine the overall behavior of mechanisms. In this paper, a new type ...

Abstract: With increasing aerodynamic and thermal loads, film cooling has been a popular technology integrated into the design of the modern gas turbine vane endwall, especially for the first-stage vane endwall. A staggering amount ...

Abstract: Linear turbine cascades have been widely used to conduct fundamental and applied investigations, but only a few transient test facilities with the linear turbine cascade are available in the open literature. A novel transient ...
