    • Calistrat, Michael M.; Munyon, Robert E. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1985)
      All flexible shaft couplings must be surrounded by a guard, in order to comply with OHSA requirements. For turbomachinery applications, this guard is an oil-tight enclosure and the purpose is to trap any oil escaping the ...
    • Calistrat, Michael M.; Morris, James R.; Parker, Robert (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1993)
      In rotating machinery, torque is transmitted from shafts to coupling hubs (or vice versa) through keys, friction, or a combination of the two. As a rule; coupling hubs must be installed on shafts with a certain amount of ...
    • Calistrat, Michael M. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1980)
      The transmission of torque from a shaft to a hub can be efficiently accomplished through the use of friction. The advantages of this system over a keyed connection are: (1) the significant reduction of stress concentrations ...
    • Calistrat, Michael M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
      Coupling enclosures are oil-tight guards which serve the double purpose of protecting people from the rotating coupling and returning oil that escapes past the seals back to the oil reservoir. Enclosures were, and still ...
