Distortion Of Speed Changer Housings And Resulting Gear Failures
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1976)
Gear case distortion due to thermal effects has caused unique and costly failures at several of Union Carbide's process plants. The unusual nature of these failures has prompted us to make an in-depth logical investigation ...
Fatigue Failures Of Compressor Impellers And Resonance Excitation Testing
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1979)
The similarity of failures of impellers in centrifugal compressors soon after initial startup and failures of impellers in other compressors after about seven years of successful operation and the test programs to define ...
Turbine Rotors Whirl After Dynamically Stable Designs Are Updated
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1977)
The problem of steam turbine rotor whirling following uprating of a stable design and the measures taken to define the problem and implement a solution are described. Nearly identical units installed at several of Union ...
