Terminal ballistic experiments for the development of turbine engine blade containment technology

Description: The ballistic experiments reported herein were conducted in three sets between October 1993 and November 1994. The first set of experiments examined the ballistic failure of annealed titanium plates. These experiments were performed in a manner consistent with earlier experiments conducted at United Technologies` Pratt and Whitney Division. The second set of experiments examined the ballistic performance of select aluminum and titanium alloys in single-plate and laminate form. In both sets of e… more

Third quarterly report for TRP Flip Chip Attach

Description: This report contains two separate reports for the Flip Chip Attach project. The first report is Yorktown`s report as per their deliverable 1.6 on the rheological properties of the material. Since the paste dispensing process is preformed at shear rates above 100/s and in the low Reynolds`s number, i.e., creeping flow regime, the authors have designed viscometry measurements to simulate the response under these conditions. The study determines simple parameters and criteria to obtain paste prope… more

Robotic weld overlay coatings for erosion control. Quarterly technical progress report, January 1995--March 1995

Description: Research is presently being conducted to develop a criteria for selecting weld overlay coatings for erosion mitigation in Circulated Fluidized Beds. During the last two quarters tensile tests were performed at 400{degrees}C for the Ultimet, Inconel-625, 316L SS, C-22, and Stellite-6 wrought alloys. Also, the erosion tests for these materials at 400{degrees}C were completed. The results of mechanical and erosion tests are used to correlate mechanical properties of selected wrought alloys such as… more

Magnetic bearing update

Description: Stabilization of whirl instability by floppy, viscous bearing mounts is discussed and required material properties are estimated for the new tilt-whirl mode in eddy-current stabilized magnetic bearings. A relatively low Young`s modules Y {approximately} 10{sup 5} and high viscosity {zeta} {approximately} 10{sup 7} are required (both in MKS units), suggesting the need for careful mounting design. New information on periodic bearings shows that, thus far, Earshaw`s Theorem cannot be defeated by p… more

Soil load above Hanford waste storage tanks (2 volumes)

Description: This document is a compilation of work performed as part of the Dome Load Control Project in 1994. Section 2 contains the calculations of the weight of the soil over the tank dome for each of the 75-feet-diameter waste-storage tanks located at the Hanford Site. The chosen soil specific weight and soil depth measured at the apex of the dome crown are the same as those used in the primary analysis that qualified the design. Section 3 provides reference dimensions for each of the tank farm sites. … more
