Failure analysis of gas and compressor turbine blades encompasses the systematic investigation of damage phenomena that compromise blade integrity. This field integrates diverse approaches including ...

This article outlines the successfully application of additive manufacturing to aerodynamic development testing within the preliminary design phase for boundary condition definition of new compressor ...

Developments in advanced materials over the years have contributed to the spectacular progress in the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aero gas turbine. This has been achieved mainly through the ...

Lately, much of the news about 3D printing metals is aimed at improving end production: bigger parts, made faster, from new materials. But what about speeding up the prototyping process of large ...

The gas turbine is one of the most widely used forms of propulsion systems for modern aircraft engines. The engine’s core—defined as the compressor, burner, and turbine—is also known as the gas ...

May 6, 2003 — Recent-model large-frame gas turbines have experienced some growing pains, but modifications and upgrades have increased their reliability substantially. Due to low natural gas prices, ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md.-- A team of U.S. Army and academic researchers developed a novel design to automatically adjust aircraft engine rotor blade positions while already in-flight, a tactic ...

The history of the gas turbine can be traced back to 150 BC, when a Greek inventor, philosopher, and geometrician, Hero, who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, invented a toy called the “Aeolipile.” The toy ...
