M.Tech. Dissertation Project
(2002):
“Singular
Stress Distribution around an Interface Crack in Whisker Reinforced
Metal
Matrix Composite -- Finite Element Investigation”
Synopsis:
This
dissertation project deals with the study of singular stresses around a penny
shaped interface crack in metal matrix composites. The crack is considered at
the interface of whisker and matrix material. Finite element study is carried
out using the front end commercial software ANSYS (Ver: 5.4) adopting its
fracture mechanics capabilities. Aluminum/Silicon carbide MMC system is
considered in the analysis.

i) Centrifugal Compressor analysis (Coupled Field analysis)
This involves couple field analysis of centrifugal compressor,
where compressor experiences various complicated loads like thermal,
structural, vibrational and aerodynamic loads, a finite element analysis is
carried out to find out stresses and deflections developed in compressor due to
these types of loads.
ii) Centrifugal Turbine analysis (Coupled Field analysis)
This involves couple field analysis of centrifugal turbine,
where turbine experiences various high temperature, structural, vibrational and
aerodynamic loads, a finite element analysis is carried out to find out
stresses and deflections developed in compressor due to these types of loads.
iii) Thermal and structural Analysis of bearing housing
Turbine end (MGT)
Analysis is carried out
using Ansys, where various possible configurations are carried out for analysis
and an optimized Housing is developed with minimal thermal transfer rate and
stress.
iv) Design, optimization and FE analysis of turbine Balancing
Disk.
Turbine Balancing disc experiences high temperature and
pressure loads, A optimization study is carried out to minimize the weight and
to maintain maximum possible interference between running shaft and balancing
disc,
