Abstract: General noise reduction considerations for shipboard installation of gas turbines are discussed. Specific information relating to sound-absorption materials, duct treatments, structureborne sound ...

Abstract: The problem of a semi-infinite mode III crack that suddenly begins to propagate at a constant speed is considered for a general linear viscoelastic body. It is shown that the results of an ...

Abstract: The present study is focussed on the oxidation behavior of nonoxide silicon-based ceramics. Various Si3N4 and SiC ceramics were examined after long term oxidation tests (up to 5000 h) at ...

Abstract: We propose a computationally tractable model for film formation and breakup based on data from experiments and direct numerical simulations. This work is a natural continuation of previous studies ...
