Abstract: Experimental data from a multiple blade shed incident are used to determine the forces exerted by the blades on a containment ring. A transient, dynamic, finite element procedure is used to ...

Abstract: Previous research by the authors concentrated on using piezoelectric actuators for active vibration control (AVC) of rotating machinery. The current work extends this by positioning the piezo-actuator ...

Abstract: Erosion-corrosion failures frequently found in piping systems can lead to the leakage of pipes, or even damage of the whole system. Erosion-corrosion is a form of material degradation that ...

Abstract: An integrated, compact piezohydraulic actuator system for active vibration control was designed and developed with a primary application for gas turbine aircraft engines. Copper tube was chosen ...
