Abstract: The main objective of this study is to describe a new scheme to carry out the static or dynamic analysis of elastic systems using a combined Finite Element-Transfer Matrix Approach. The ...

Abstract: The feasibility of using induction hardening to improve the fatigue strength of clearance fit clevis-type joints was investigated. Clearance fit joints are desired to facilitate machine assembly ...

Abstract: A new method is presented for the analysis of a bolted flange subjected to bending moments. Bolt axial cyclic loads are calculated using the force ratio method. Bolt bending moments are found ...

Abstract: This project is a part of an overall study aimed at producing a new generation of wind turbine generators. The wind turbine generator proposed is a horizontal axis machine with three blades ...

Abstract: A high-temperature flow through a gas turbine produces a high rate of turbulent heat transfer between the fluid flow field and the turbine components. The heat transfer process through rotor ...

Abstract: This paper presents S-N data generated on a newly designed tuning fork system. The materials tested were four different specimen groups of ductile iron. The tuning fork was designed to ...
