Thermal Stresses and Strength of Turbines : Calculation and Design (2 Rev ed)

Turbogenerating sets are used in traditional thermal power-generating units as well as in atomic power plants, which have to meet rigid standards of radiation safety.

As the rated power of turbo-engines increases, scientists are attempting to develop new methods of computation based on new strength and longevity criteria.

The authors present an analysis of turbines and the factors relating to them, including mechanical specifications, fracture mechanics and stresses.
