Improvement of the Turbine Main Stop Valves with Flow Simulation in Erosion by Solid Particle Impact CFD by Z. Mazur, G. Urquiza, R. Campos

“…Because the entire flow to the turbine during start ups is carried by the MSVBV it is subject to serious solid particle erosion problems and requires frequent replacement to avoid the catastrophic damage which can occurred when the MSVBV skirt eroded through causing large pieces of metal to be carried directly into the turbine. For some of the most important geometric parameters of the MSVBV, design recommendation have been made.…”

A symmetry-protected exceptional ring in a photonic crystal with negative index media by Isobe Takuma, Yoshida Tsuneya, Hatsugai Yasuhiro

“…Our analysis using COMSOL Multiphysics® demonstrates that a SPER emerges for photonic crystals composed of split-ring resonators and metal-wire structures. We expect that the above SPER can be observed in experiments as it emerges at a finite frequency.…”

L’applicazione della diffrattometria dei raggi X per l’analisi del cedimento dei componenti meccanici by Mario Guagliano

“…X-ray diffraction is a well-known experimental technique for measuring residual stresses in metallic materials. If XRD is applied to the fracture surface of a broken part it becomes a fractographical technique, that is to say that it is possible to relate the results of the measures to the loading condition that lead a component to fail. …”

Plastic zone evolution near a crack tip and its role in environmentally assisted cracking by Jesús Toribio, Viktor Kharin

“…In the respective cases, the effects are supposed to be due to accelerated local anodic dissolution of the cyclic plastic zone (producing chemical crack blunting) or to the delay of hydrogen entry into the metal caused by residual compressive stresses, thus increasing the fracture load in aggressive environment.…”
