Nuremberg is a magic city. For one week each February this quaint but bustling place becomes an international wonderland. Not only is a fortune in toy business transacted but a very warm and human thing takes place. Visitors ...

Turbofan engines are normally bench-tested with a standard flared bellmouth intake. This is different from the aircraft situation. As a result, an engine installation may experience a degree of inlet flow distortion not ...

Three component planar flow-field measurements are made using imaging fibre bundles to port different views of the measurement plane, defined by a laser light sheet, to a single imaging head. The Doppler frequency shifts ...

This report is an investigation into the melting of axi-symmetric and two-dimensional bogies at a Mach No. of M[infinity] = 1.78 and stagnation temperatures up to 550 [degrees]K. In this temperature range, the most ...

Problem: Various indicators of health have been shown to be associated with traffic crash involvement. As general health is also related to absence from work, the latter variable may be more strongly related to crashes, ...

A new, well posed, two-dimensional two-mode incompressible Kelvin{Helmholtz instability test case has been chosen to explore the ability of a compressible algorithm, Godunov-type scheme with the low Mach number correction, ...

The measurement of acoustic emission (AE) activity at the bearings of power generation turbines is evolving into a viable complementary diagnostic technique especially adept at indicating the early stages of shaft-seal ...

The present thesis covers the pioneering effort of establishing an infrastructure for conducting research into the analysis of Acoustic Emission signatures, with emphasis being placed upon the recovery of the true surface ...

The investigation reported in this paper was centered on the application of the Acoustic Emissions (AE) technology for characterising the defect sizes on a radially loaded bearing. The aim of this investigation was to ...

Acoustic emission (AE) measurement at the bearings of rotating machinery has become a useful tool for diagnosing incipient fault conditions. In particular, AE can be used to detect unwanted intermittent or partial rubbing ...
