...Iroizan Ubulom A method of fluid–structure interaction coupling is implemented for a forced-response, vibration-induced fatigue life estimation of a high-pressure turbine blade. Two simulations approaches; a two-way (fully coupled) and one-way (uncoupled) methods are implemented to investigate...

..., a refractory abrasive tip material (ABT) was developed and applied to a plain turbine blade tip to work in conjunction with an abradable coating on the tip-shoe. Process development efforts resulted in abrasive material that could be as much as 2 mm thick. Further, the abrasive media included imbedded grits...

...Alaaeldin H. Mustafa; Hameed H. Badairy; Sudhir Mehta Plugging material in some of the film cooling channels of a failed aero-gas turbine engine first stage turbine blade is analyzed using the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy in an environmental scanning electron microscope. The objective...

...Xiaojun Yan; Jingxu Nie A new experimental method, in which a full scale directionally solidified (DS) alloy turbine blade is loaded by a special design rig employing friction force and heated by eddy current induction, is proposed to conduct creep-fatigue life tests in this investigation...
