Abstract: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have become an indispensable technology as the temperature of turbine inlet gas has increased. TBCs reduce the temperature of the base metal, but a reduction of ...

Abstract: The thermal efficiency of gas turbine combined cycle power generation plants increase significantly in accordance with turbine inlet temperature. Gas turbine combined cycle power plants operating ...

Abstract: The finite element method is applied to determine the wave forces and wave fields for various coastal and ocean structures. Wave diffraction and radiation problems are solved by the method. A ...

Abstract: A new boundary element method (BEM) is developed for three-dimensional analysis of fiber-reinforced composites based on a rigid-inclusion model. Elasticity equations are solved in an elastic domain ...
