Method Of Reducing Internal Stress In Materials, Maher S. Amer, John F. Maguire
Method Of Reducing Internal Stress In Materials, Maher S. Amer, John F. Maguire
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
Methods are provided for adjusting and controlling the stress between layers of material in a multilayer structure. A first stress is configured in a region of stress on the substrate material. A second material is then deposited over the substrate. A second stress results between the substrate and the second material such that a net stress results where the net stress is a function of said first and second stresses. As such, the first stress can be configured to achieve a predetermined, desired net stress. For example, the first stress can be configured to cancel out the second stress such …

We investigate the behavior of the slip length in Newtonian liquids subject to planar shear bounded by substrates with mixed boundary conditions. The upper wall, consisting of a homogenous surface of finite or vanishing slip, moves at a constant speed parallel to a lower stationary wall, whose surface is patterned with an array of stripes representing alternating regions of no shear and finite or no slip. Velocity fields and effective slip lengths are computed both from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and solution of the Stokes equation for flow configurations either parallel or perpendicular to the stripes. Excellent agreement between the …
Unsteady Tip Leakage, Bow Shock, Igv Wake Interaction In A Compressor, Xuedong Zhou, J. Mitch Wolff
Unsteady Tip Leakage, Bow Shock, Igv Wake Interaction In A Compressor, Xuedong Zhou, J. Mitch Wolff
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
Unsteady aerodynamic analysis of Inlet Guide Vane (IGV)/rotor interaction is conducted with a commercial CFD solver, STAR-CD. 12% and 26% IGV axial chord IGV/Rotor spacing configurations were examined for 100% corrected speed at choke, peak efficiency and near stall conditions to investigate bow shock/tip leakage interaction within blade rows. Comparison with IGV surface unsteady pressure experimental data indicates good agreement at the IGV trailing edge across the span for both spacing configurations; therefore, validating the modeling of the high speed, highly loaded transonic compressor. The strongest effect on the tip clearance flow physics was caused by decreasing the axial spacing. …
Vibrational Behavior Of The MN+1AxN Phases From First-Order Raman Scattering (M=Ti,V,Cr, A=Si, X=C,N), Jonathan E. Spanier, Surojit Gupta, Maher S. Amer, Michel W. Barsoum

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
We report on the Raman spectra of Ti3SiC2 (312), M2AlC(211) (M=Ti, V, Cr, and Nb) and Ti4AlN3 (413), as representative compounds from the family of Mn+1AXn phases. Intense and narrow first-order Raman peaks are observed, and we present an analysis of the spectra based on symmetry considerations and from results of first-principles calculations of phonon frequencies. The agreement between experimental and calculated mode energies is excellent. The identification of the modes enables application of Raman scattering as a diagnostic tool for the detailed study of the structural and physical properties of this family of compounds and their …

The use of small jets of air has proven to be an effective means of flow control on low Reynolds number turbine blades. Pulsing of these jets has also shown benefits in reducing the amount of air needed to achieve the same level of flow control. An experiment using Hot Wire Anemometry and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) has been used to investigate how these pulsed jets interact with the boundary layer to help keep the flow attached. A 25x scaled jet in a flat plate has been utilized. The 25.4 mm diameter jet has a pitch angle of 30° and …
