Course on Fatigue of Composite Materials @ NIT Jalandhar [Nov 11-15]: Registrations Open!

August 9, 2019 by Jasmeet

About There has been an upsurge in the interest in composite materials in the last few decades, primarily due to the high demand for material performance placed by advanced technologies. Conventional materials are unable to meet these demands. Improvements in mechanical properties, e.g. stiffness, strength and fracture toughness, are being increasingly made feasible by advancements in composite manufacturing technologies. Numerous applications of these materials can be found in the aerospace sector—significant parts of commercial and fighter airplanes are made of …

Course on Ultra Clean and Low Pulsation Gas Turbines @ IIT Indore [Nov 3-7]: Registrations Open!

August 9, 2019 by Jasmeet

About The reduction of CO2 emissions is of primary concern in power generation. This requires more efficient gas turbine cycles. An increase in efficiency can be achieved by higher combustor pressure and higher turbine inlet temperatures or by completely new concepts. All of these efficiency augmentation strategies require novel combustor technologies allowing ultra-low emissions, fuel flexibility, and stable operation over a wide operational range. The course will start with an overview of modern gas turbine technology. With this knowledge, we …
