Abstract: Proportional combined loading tests using axial load and torque were conducted on thin-walled tubular specimens of annealed isotropic aluminum alloy 5056. The experimental results showed that the ...

Abstract: Offshore structures are subjected to repeated loads from earthquakes and waves which may cause softening of the clayey seabed foundation. Carrying out a series of model tests on a shaking ...

Abstract: Employing ceramic materials for the critical components of industrial gas turbines is anticipated to improve the thermal efficiency of power plants. We developed a first-stage stator vane for a ...

Abstract: A catalytically assisted ceramic combustor for a gas turbine was designed to achieve low NOx emission under 5 ppm at a combustor outlet temperature over 1300°C. This combustor is composed ...
