    • Low Frequency Buckets For Industrial Steam Turbines. 
      Weaver, Firm L. (Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 1983)
      Bucket failures have been known to occur on the later stages of industrial type steam turbines after prolonged operational life of as much as five or six years. All of these failures are characteristically fatigue in nature. ...
    • Reliable Overspeed Protection For Industrial Drive Turbines 
      Weaver, Firm L. (Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
      The paper discusses the fundamental relationships between turbine overspeed and the time constant of the rotor. The amount of overspeed is shown to be related not only to the time lag of the emergency tripping devices, but ...
