    • 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 ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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, ...
