Abstract: A dynamic theory of thin beams undergoing large deflection but small strain is derived. Geometric nonlinearities are preserved but the material is assumed to behave linearly. Contributions due ...

Abstract: Almost all conventional servovalves operate on the principle of controlling the position of a four-way or three-way valve made with very high precision with the hope that the flow rate will ...

Abstract: Westinghouse experience in burning heavy residual fuels in gas turbines dates back 25 years when such fuels were burned in a 2000 hp turbine powering a locomotive. In this paper we present ...

Abstract: The governing differential equations for the out-of-plane vibrations of curved nonuniform beams of constant radius are derived. Two physical parameters are introduced to simplify the analysis, and ...

Abstract: The drawability of sheet metal, hitherto based on and restricted to the drawing of round cups, as in the Swift test, is generalized to cover noncircular cups. The way to measure the extent ...

Abstract: With an increasing interest in the burning of heavy fuels in gas turbines there is also concern with the precise determination of the corrosive effects which may arise from the use of these ...

Abstract: Effects of temperature and contaminant levels on the high-temperature corrosion of superalloys used in gas turbines were investigated using pressurized passages which simulate the operating conditions ...
