Abstract: The flux distribution delivered by a Fresnel lens when concentrating solar energy is characterized. The flux is measured with a Si photo-detector equipped with an integrating sphere. Flux mapping ...

Abstract: Creep rupture properties of a modified grade of type E316-15 stainless steel weld metal have been studied in the temperature range 823 to 923 K at different stress levels. The results are ...

Abstract: Detailed investigations have been performed for assessing the importance of weld discontinuities in strain controlled low cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of 308 stainless steel (SS) welds. The LCF ...
