Evaluation of J-Integral and Fatigue Crack Growth Rate of Semi-elliptical Crack in Compressor Blade
Abstract: Gas turbine compressor blades are subjected to centrifugal, gas bending and vibratory loads. This repeated loading and unloading can reduce the life of compressor blades. This research aims at the estimation of fatigue crack growth rate of various three-dimensional cracks in a compressor blade considering the J-integral calculations for a semi-elliptical crack, subjected to centrifugal loading. Static stress analysis was carried out to ascertain the critical region or crack zone …

Air Flow Analysis on a Barrel Carburetor and a Barrel Intake Manifold
Abstract: The experiment performed was to determine air flow, velocity, pressure and turbulence through an adaptor plate between a 2-barrel carburetor and a 4-barrel intake manifold. We first created the part using SolidWorks making sure to include 2 body parts that allowed a smooth transition of air through the intake. We then uploaded an assembly instead of a singular part to ANSYS to ensure the airflow read was accurate, as well …
