Abstract: The symmetrical wakes beyond a guide vane cascade consisting of curved and flat plates with blunt trailing edges were investigated as far as the excited dynamic stresses in the blades and the ...

Abstract: Model tests were carried out on vibrations of guide vanes induced by wakes and noise. The results will be compared with the measurements on the prototype. It will be shown that the modeling ...

Abstract: A numerical model has been developed to reproduce the punching failure in reinforced-concrete structures. It is characterized by an efficient triaxial strength criterion for concrete, a nonassociated flow rule reproducing ...
