The harsh operating environment, and the extreme working condition, of the steam turbine
blades have led to the use of alloys with special characteristics. Of these properties are high …

Due to the special working environment of steam turbine blades, such as high temperature
and cyclic stresses, they are routinely under heavy damage conditions. Of the most …

The study presents the analysis of non-stationary stresses and fatigue cracking in impulse
steam turbine rotors. Field experience with cracking of rotors is reviewed, and the most …

Steam turbines in their last stages, L-0 stage, generate approximately 12% of the total power
produced by thermoelectric plants. These steam turbines blades present centrifugal loads …

In the present paper, vibration responses of the healthy and cracked blade under the
influence of stress-stiffening and spin-softening have been studied. The three-dimensional …

A steam turbine from a thermoelectric central was put into maintenance due to a forced
outage for high vibrations. Visual inspection of the steam turbine of 300 MW showed blades …

The useful life (UL) of the failure assessment in blades of steam turbines is optimized using
the artificial intelligence. The objective of this paper is to develop an integrated approach …

An experimental method that can quantify relative slip was developed using digital image
correlation (DIC) in order to evaluate the sliding portion. The bridge-type test setup was …

We investigate the causes of failure of a piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder, which moves a
spillway floodgate of a hydroelectric power plant, after 30 years of service. The fractured …

在地热发电或直接利用过程中, 与地热流体(液体或蒸汽) 接触的设备, 管道或管件存在着腐蚀和
结垢现象, 往往成为地热开发利用的技术瓶颈. 因此, 开展地热流体的腐蚀与结垢控制技术研究至 …
