Gas turbine engine components are prone to high- and low-cycle fatigue (HCF and LCF), cracking in critical areas of high stress. Cracks often initiate from local stress concentrations created by ...

Design of gas turbine compressor flow path components, especially in concept phases, has traditionally relied upon analysis-only methodologies to down-select the final design configuration. This final ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Gas turbine engines often are considered the “heart” of airplanes and ships. Now, Purdue University innovators looking for new solutions to reduce emissions and enhance ...

The gas turbine is one of the most widely used forms of propulsion systems for modern aircraft engines. The engine’s core—defined as the compressor, burner, and turbine—is also known as the gas ...

Failure analysis of gas and compressor turbine blades encompasses the systematic investigation of damage phenomena that compromise blade integrity. This field integrates diverse approaches including ...

History and classifications of aero-engine -- Performance parameters of jet engines -- Pulsejet and ramjet engines -- Turbojet engine -- Turbofan engines -- Shaft engines -- High speed supersonic and ...

Military researchers are set to use high performance supercomputing to develop the first physics-based virtual twin of an integrated gas turbine engine in a Defense Department-supported effort aligned ...
