models, EXperiments and high PERformance computing for Turbine mechanical Integrity and Structural dynamics in Europe (EXPERTISE)

2021-2-28
Energy and Mobility are two primary driving forces in the 21st century. Development of incremental and disruptive technologies will have key impacts on the world’s societies, and on safety, security and competitiveness of Europe. Amongst those technologies, gas turbines will play a major role. Recovery of shale gas depends decisively on compressors. Modern gas supplied power plants are bridging towards the age of renewable energies. Aeroengines are to undergo the most massive changes in their history with the advent of composite materials, gear boxes, and turbine-electric concepts separating generation of power and thrust. A technological commonalities of the upcoming challenges is the need for full model based development and computer system simulation. There is agreement on this in the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community. The structural dynamics and vibration questions are at present far from being addressed adequately. While US agencies and Asian powers have already started to prepare themselves, European research organisations and companies still seem to be too fragmented to reach critical research ressources and start corresponding initiatives. There are two main reasons for this. First, the physics of mechanical joining technologies that dominate the damping behavior of the large-scale structures under debate, are still poorly understood. Second, there is a lack of high performance computing (HPC) capabilities in structural dynamics, which goes back to the lack of knowledge of effective HPC technologies for structural dynamics. Since the US, China and India have started efforts in the field, we propose a European contribution through a Marie Curie ETN to allow a first generation of early stage researchers to catch up on the topics, ideally open up new fields of insight and approaches, and finally form a seed group for the upcoming challenges of the European turbine industry with respect to nonlinear structural dynamics and HPC

Position and navigation of vehicle in two and three dimensions have been important as being advanced technology. Therefore, some system has been evaluated to get information of vehicle̕s position. Main problem in navigation is how to determine position and rotation in three dimensions. If position and rotation is determined, navigation will also be determined with respect to their initial point. There is a technology that vehicle velocity can be discovered, but a technology that rotation can be discovered i...

Legged robot platforms have distinct advantages over wheels in rough terrain and provide better mobility. Also in many applications, including military reconnaissance, disaster relief, hazardous site inspection, search and rescue applications benefit from the legged robots which is capable of moving safely at high speeds through rough natural terrain. However, with the increasing speed, fundamental difficulties like dynamic and mechanical limitations as well as control and computational limitations arise. A...
Design and simulation of an ABS for an integrated active safety system for road vehicles
Şahin, Murat; Ünlüsoy, Yavuz Samim; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
Active safety systems for road vehicles have been improved considerably in recent years along with technological advances and the increasing demand for road safety. In the development route of active safety systems which started with introduction of digital controlled ABS in the late seventies, vehicle stability control systems have been developed which today, with an integration approach, incorporate ABS and other previously developed active safety technologies. ABS, as a main part of this new structure, s...

Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) are among the most common means of road transportation. They present, however, some specific performance limitations and safety risks due to their rather special dynamic characteristics. AHVs have maneuverability problems at low speeds as manifested by their Path Following Off-Tracking (PFOT). Further, AHVs are most likely to lose their stability at high speeds in three basic manners: trailer swing, jackknifing, and roll over which are the most common causes of many severe ...
Parametric investigation of hull shaped fuselage for amphibious UAV
Sazak, Emre; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
Performance of amphibious unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) that take off from and land on water, like seaplanes, greatly depend on hydrodynamic effects as well as aerodynamic effects, therefore their geometries need to be optimized for both. This study mainly investigates the effect of geometric parameters of a generic, hull-shaped fuselage that are constrained by hydrodynamic drivers, such as the step height needed to reduce hydrodynamic drag, sternpost angle and deadrise angle needed for safe landing; on ...
