Large-scale experimental investigation of flow characteristics in labyrinth seal geometries
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
order to determine the flow characteristics and leakage resistance properties of advanced labyrinth seals. A unique water test facility is used to acquire leakage resistance measurements for two-dimensional, planar models ...
Imbalance response of a rotor supported on a floating ring fluid film bearing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Turbochargers are commonly used to increase the power output and efficiency of internal combustion automotive engines. Conventional turbocharger rotors are usually supported on floating ring journal bearings (FRBs) running ...
Method of mechanism synthesis by hybrid genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The path synthesis problem for mechanical linkages still presents problems for engineers, although it has been examined for more than two centuries. This research approached the design problem as one of creating a ...
Ultrasonic measurement of the residual stresses in patch welded steel plates
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study begins with a review of the nature and origins of residual stresses and the techniques currently used to measure these stresses, both destructive and nondestructive. The theory of ultrasonic stress measurement, ...
