Abstract: The corrosion fatigue crack growth rates on 12 chrome steels of typical composition, 12Cr, 0.2C, 1Mo, 1W, of 150,000-ksi yield is relatively unaffected by 4.5 percent NaCl salt water solution ...

Abstract: High strength thin walled flow formed tubes are manufactured from AISI 4130 medium carbon low alloy steel. Starting with an ultimate tensile strength of 650 MPa, the material has recorded a ...

Abstract: When designing a rotor system it is frequently desirable to have at hand a set of design sensitivity coefficients which quantitatively predict a change in specific system characteristics to ...

Abstract: The design of a rotor-bearing system is an iterative process in which the parameters that influence the design are modified until the desired design objectives are achieved. Primary among the ...

Abstract: Optimization techniques are employed to design squeeze film dampers for minimum transmitted load to the bearing and foundation in the operational speed range. The rotor systems are modeled by ...
