RISDamage Tolerance Evaluation of Adhesively Laminated Titanium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Basic damage tolerance properties of Ti-6Al-4V titanium plate can be improved by laminating thin sheets of titanium with adhesives. Compact tension and center-cracked tension specimens made from ...
The Theory and Operation of Evaporative Coolers for Industrial Gas Turbine Installations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the theory of evaporative cooling and describes the application of wetted rigid media evaporative coolers to gas turbines. Calculations of parameters used to predict evaporative ...
Prediction of Gas Turbine On- and Off-Design Performance When Firing Coal-Derived Syngas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a procedure used to model the performance of gas turbines designed to fire natural gas (or distillate oil) when fired on medium-Btu fuel, such as coal-derived syngas. ...
Effect of Aging on the Seismic Performance of Petrochemical Facilities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the effects of aging of petrochemical facilities with regard to the impact on seismic performance. Examples of typical construction and serious concerns are presented. ...
A Combined Theoretical/Experimental Approach to the Dynamic Characterization of Viscoelastic Materials
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research combines theoretical and experimental approaches to the dynamic mechanical characterization of viscoelastic materials. A detailed derivation is presented for the dynamic response of ...
Effect of Interference on the Mechanics of Load Transfer in Aircraft Fuselage Lap Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Much of the fatigue damage in aircraft structures can be linked to the stress concentration arising at the rivet/skin interface in fuselage lap-joints. Fatigue damage can degrade the strength ...
Flow Between a Smooth Stationary Disk and Grooved Rotating Disk
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The radial outflow between a grooved rotating disk and a smooth stationary disk was examined analytically and experimentally with an emphasis on flow rate and drag moment. All investigations ...
Acoustic Enhancement of the Rate of Heat Transfer Over a Flat Plate-An Experimental Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Increasing the rate of heat transfer can improve product quality and lower energy cost for many energy systems. Pulsating fluid flow has been used to increase the rate of heat transfer in ...
A TRNSYS/GROCS Simulation of a Horizontal Coil Ground-Coupled Heat Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The ground-coupled heat pump system in TECH House I at the University of Tennessee has been modelled using TRNSYS/GROCS and the results have been compared with actual performance data for both ...
Aquifer Management Zones Based on Simulated Surface-Water Response Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Conjunctive management of surface and ground water requires an understanding of the degree to which surface water resources will be impacted by aquifer stresses at different locations. Response functions quantify the rate ...
