Numerical Study of Vibration Stress and Deformation of Rotating Fan Blade of a Gas Turbine
Abstract: The vibration stress caused by resonance is the main cause of failure in aircraft engine blades. The study is aimed at investigating the vibration stress of a single-stage fan blade influenced by the interaction of aerodynamic and structural behavior at multiple critical speeds. A three-dimensional finite element model of the blade was developed for the simulation of vibration stress and its subsequent effects. The blade was verified by modal test. …

Optimisation of Ratio of Center Distance of Adjacent Hole to Diameter of Pre-stressed Holes by FEA
Abstract: Residual compressive stress zone around a fastener hole is introduced by a process called pre-stressing. This is being done to reduce adverse effect of cyclic tensile stress and to restrict the fatigue crack growth due to material flaws or imperfect surfaces. The objective of this investigation is to optimize the inter-hole distance between adjacent cold expanded holes on a plate restricting the deformation of material between holes to the elastic …

ALTERATION IN BLOOD OXYGEN LEVEL DUE TO BAG AND TUBE VENTILATION BEFORE SUCTIONING AMONG PATIENTS ON MECHANICAL VENTILATOR
Abstract: Patient on ventilator suffer from gag reflex and hyper ventilation during suctioning. Hyper oxygenation before and after suctioning should be performed to decrease the occurrence of arterial desaturation with suctioning. Hypoxemia can be minimized by preoxygenating the patient with 100% oxygen prior to suctioning and between each pass of the suction catheter. This is mainly done by pushing 100% oxygen with bag device. The duration of each suction pass should …
