Abstract: The quasi-static behavior of flexural members strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates has been well documented in recent years, but there is a gap in knowledge regarding the effects of dynamic ...

Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) for the strengthening and repair of existing concrete structures is a field with tremendous potential. The materials are very durable and, hence, ideally suited for use as external ...

Abstract: The driving mechanism of pulsations in gas turbine combustors depends on a complex interaction between flow field, chemistry, heat release, and acoustics. Experimental data on all these factors ...

Abstract: Results of an ongoing collaboration between the engine manufacturer MTU and the German aerospace research center DLR on the NOx reduction potential of conventional combustors are reported. A ...
