Rotor Burst Protection Program: Phases VI and VII: Exploratory Experimentation to Provide Data for the Design of Rotor Burst Fragment Containment Rings

摘要

Presented are the results of exploratory experimentation that was conducted in NAPTC Rotor Spin Facility to provide criteria for the design of turbomachine rotor burst fragment containment rings. High-speed photography was used to study containment processes involving freely supported rings of different materials and a variety of rotor and flat disk fragments. (Author)
