An analytical solution is reported for the buckling of anisotropic cylindrical plates under biaxial compression and shear loads. Linear equations for laminated cylindrical shells, Donnell-type equations, are used in conjunction with Galerkin's method to determine critical buckling loads. Results obtained by the anisotropic solution indicate that significant nonconservative errors (up to 50%) can occur in buckling predictions in comparison with the orthotropic solution. Results obtained show as boundary condition, stacking ...
Carbon deposition, by promoting local reducing conditions, may play an important role in the occurrence of hot corrosion in gas turbines. Carbon can form as a result of the incomplete combustion of liquid fuel droplets and from gaseous hydrocarbons present in the combustion gases. Sodium sulfate condensate, generated by impurities in the fuel, can be reduced to more corrosive sulfide in the presence of uncombusted gaseous hydrocarbons which decompose catalytically ...
