A method for system improvement of gas turbine flow-passage at the preliminary design stage is proposed. The results of 1D aerodynamic calculation is the reference information. Based on the obtained structural parametrical models a wide range of analysis, synthesis and optimization problems can be solved, as well as uncertainty quantification problem for turbine blade permissible manufacture tolerances in batch production.

Standard outfit package units for reverse osmosis plants, fire pumps, steering gear, and sanitary spaces were proposed for the LPD 17 amphibious transport dock ship design. The ship was in the preliminary design stage, and it was necessary to determine how this shift to outfit modularity would affect the ship procurement program. Because the use of package units would not have a significant impact on the overall characteristics and performance of the ship, the focus of the investigation was on material ordering and production scheduling. The analysis took account of zone-area-stage outfitting methods and also more traditional practices. With either approach, it was found that the package units did not present any schedule or procurement problems This particular study was focused on a very specific issue, but the approach is applicable to a wide range of production impact assessment problems.

It has been realized that attenuation of the noise radiated from diesel engine generating sets is a challenge for the designer. The enclosure, which may be designed for noise reduction, has to allow for the flow of the necessary amount of air. The present work is an attempt to tackle such a contradictory problem. A mathematical model is developed to predict the enclosure design configuration. The parameters affecting the insertion loss, such as enclosure and silencer dimensions, number of baffles, and sound absorption material specifications are taken into account. To verify the developed model, experimental measurements based on ISO 8528 part 10 are conducted. Four different generating sets covering a wide range of power rating are employed. The effect of changing each parameter on the insertion loss is studied separately for the chosen range. Design charts, based on the results of the present investigation, are constructed to facilitate the section of a proper acoustical enclosure configuration at the preliminary design stage.

The analysis of changes in the parameters and characteristics of civilian light aircraft. New ways of improving its quality, improving tactical, technical and flight characteristics to meet a wide range of areas of its using have been proposed. The limits of change are established and the statistical ranges of parameters and characteristics of civilian light aircraft are refined. Recommendations are given on the method for determining the take-off mass of a civilian light aircraft with turboprop engines at the preliminary design stage in accordance with the optimality criterion - the minimum take-off mass. The features of the software package and its approbation during the development of KhAI-90 civil light aircraft preliminary project are described.

Abstract Reliable transient performance is crucial in handling an aircraft gas turbine engine from one steady state to another. The assessment of transient performance stability is normally done during the detailed design stage when component design details become available. Consequently, design iterations may be necessary and costly if engine transient handling and stability are not satisfactory. To make engine design more cost and time effective, it has become important to assess the transient performance stability at conceptual and preliminary design stage with the inclusion of key impact factors such as fuel control schedule, rotor dynamics and heat soakage. However, due to lack of detailed engine structural and geometrical information at the initial design stage, such transient performance simulation and assessment may have to ignore heat soakage effect. In this paper, a novel generically simplified heat soakage model for three major gas path components of gas turbine engines including compressors, turbines and combustors has been introduced to support more realistic transient performance simulation of gas turbine engines at conceptual and preliminary design stage. Such heat soakage model only requires thermodynamic design parameters as input, which is normally available during such design stages. The model has been implemented into in-house transient performance simulation software and applied to a model twin-spool turbojet engine to test its effectiveness. A comparison between transient performance simulated with and without the heat soakage effects demonstrate that the results are promising. Although the introduced heat soakage model is less accurate than that using detailed component geometrical information, it is able to include the major heat soakage effect in transient performance simulation and provide engine transient stability analysis to support conceptual and preliminary engine designs.

It is well known that stability is the most important safety requirement for ships. One should have some information on ship stability at the preliminary design stage in order to reduce risk. Initial stability of ships is an important criterion and can be closely evaluated in terms of form parameters and vertical center of gravity. In this study, using some sample ship data, approximate formulations are derived by means of regression analysis for the calculations expressed in terms of ship preliminary design parameters that can easily provide approximate GM calculations. Thus designers can be provided with ship stability at the preliminary design stage, and also a set of appropriate design parameters for improving vessel stability can easily be determined.

This thesis presents the use of Finite Element (FE) based fatigue analysis to locate the critical point of crack initiation and predict life in a door hinge system that is subjected to both uni-axial and multi-axial loading. The results are experimentally validated. The FE model is further used to obtain an optimum design per the standard requirement in the ground vehicle industry. The accuracy of the results showed that FE based fatigue analysis can be successfully employed to reduce costly and time-consuming experiments in the preliminary design stage. Numerical analysis also provides the product design engineers with substantial savings, enabling the testing of fewer prototypes.
