Using Modified Acoustic Emission Techniques For Machinery Condition Surveillance
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1978)
Acoustic emission is the release of high frequency sound energy in a material under strain. It is the result of microscopic changes in material structure and is associated with deformation and defect growth. Until about ...
Less Costly Turboequipment Uprates Through Optimized Coupling Selection
(Texas A&M University. Gas Turbine Laboratories, 1975)
Compressor and driver shafts often prove to be overstressed in equipment uprate situations. This paper shows how a change from conventional gear-type couplings to the more recent diaphragm coupling design can lower the ...
