Abstract: Most components used in gas and steam turbines are metallic parts produced by either casting or forging processes. Although process control works to eliminate defects, there can be variation in microporosity from component ...

Abstract: A strain gauge–based force transducer methodology has been developed to identify magnitudes and locations of loads on noncontinuous, nonhomogeneous, slender beams with welded and bolted joints. Slopes of bending moment ...
