Abstract: The approaches traditionally used to quantify creep and creep fracture are critically assessed and reviewed in relation to a new approach proposed by Wilshire and Scharning. The characteristics, ...

Abstract: Calculation of the temperature distribution in the turbine rotor of the axial gas turbine engine is an essential preliminary to a meaningful calculation of the stress distribution and the ...

Abstract: Traditionally, gas turbine combustor walls have been cooled by one or more of the various film cooling methods. The current motivation to control exhaust gas emission composition has led to ...

Abstract: The fatigue life at high operating speeds of machine components, such as bearings, gears, and cams, depends upon the shape and magnitude of the elastohydrodynamic pressure distribution. Studies ...

Abstract: The axisymmetric resonant frequency response of static pressure loaded, nonlinear clamped, circular plates have been investigated analytically and experimentally. In the analysis, the set of nonlinear ...

Abstract: Nearly all soils are comprised of mixtures of coarse and fine particles. Behavior under mechanical and thermal loading of soil is strongly influenced, and in some cases governed, by the ratio of coarse to fine particles. ...
