    • Electromagnetic Shaft Current Control 
      Sohre, John S. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1981)
    • Electromagnetic Shaft Currents And Demagnetization On Rotors Of Turbines And Compressors 
      Sohre, John S.; Nippes, Paul L. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
      A high percentage of large, high-speed compressor trains has suffered serious failures which were initiated by shaft current damage. These currents are generated by electromagnetic effects. The basic mechanics of various ...
    • Shaft Riding Brushes To Control Electric Stray Currents. 
      Sohre, John S. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1991)
      Electric discharge causing bearing and seal damage may occur in any nonelectric machine as a result of static electricity, accidental electromagnetic self excitation of casings, rotors, piping, foundations, galvanic effects, ...
    • Steam Turbine Blade Failures, Causes And Correction 
      Sohre, John S. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)
      This paper is meant to help with failure investigation, presenting a review of the causes and effects involved when blades fail. Included are descriptions of failure mechanisms (stress; resonance; environment) and of the ...
