Probabilistic design for turbine disk at high temperature

Dianyin Hu, Rongqiao Wang, Zhi Tao

A probabilistic‐based design for turbine disk at high temperature can quantify risk and thus identify areas of possible overdesign (conservatism). Moreover, the need for…

Investigation of process parameters in superplastic free bulge forming

M. Sedighi, M. Moattari

Aerospace industry was pioneered in the use of superplastic forming (SPF) process. Weight saving is the most important need in this industry. For this reason, there is special…
