    • Applying The Probabilistic Fitness-For-Service Concept For Assessing Reliability Of Weld Repaired Steam Turbine Rotors. 
      Tipton, Anthony A.; Singh, Murari P.; Shepherd, C. D. (Doug) (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1992)
      The cost savings and fast turnaround offered by weld repair of turbomachinery rotors results in significant advantages to the end user when faced with the possibility of having to replace the rotor. However, it also carries ...
    • Assessing Useful Life Of Turbomachinery Components. 
      Singh, Murari P.; Thakur, Bhabesh K.; Sullivan, William E. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2005)
      The last four of five decades have seen considerable advancements in the life assessment methods of mechanical components. These methods have been shown to be equally suitable for new as well as used components and even ...
    • Evaluation and Successful Modification of Impeller Using Forced Response Analysis 
      Thakur, Bhabesh K.; Kuang, Hui; Huffman, Robert; Singh, Murari P. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2008)
    • Fatigue Damage Of Steam Turbine Blade Caused By Frequency Shift Due To Solid Buildup - A Case Study. 
      Singh, Murari P.; Matthews, Terryl; Ramsey, Charles (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1994)
      The case history is presented of a large steam turbine that experienced blade damage after about eight years of service. The probable cause and subsequent solution to the problem are addressed. A discussion of the metallurgical ...
    • Probabilistic Life Assessment Of An Impeller With Discontinuities. 
      Singh, Murari P.; Sullivan, William E.; Donald, George; Hudson, Jim (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2004)
      This paper discusses and presents a probalistic method to evaluate the useful life of an impeller with material imperfections. These discontinuities may be on the surface or subsurface. The method combines linear elastic ...
    • Reliability Criteria For Turbine Shaft Based On Coupling Type - Geared To Have Flexibility. 
      Singh, Murari P.; Ramsey, Charles M. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1990)
      A turbine shaft end at the coupling is exposed not only to constant torque load but to various variable loads as well. These externally imposed variable loads come from sources like compressor surge, misalignment between ...
    • Resonance Identification For Impellers. 
      Singh, Murari P.; Thakur, Bhabesh K.; Sullivan, William E.; Donald, George (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2003)
      The reliability of centrifugal compressors for the most part depends on the reliable operation of impellers. Most of the time, damage to impellers is due to mechanical fatigue. Fatigue damage has been observed in blades, ...
