Turbine structures and mechanics

When: Wednesday, 26 April 2023, 14:00 - 15:15
Where: Auditorium 12

Session description

In this session, we will have a look at the turbine from the tip to the very bottom of the structure. We will try to better understand the effect of environmental conditions and operational loads on the integrity of selected components and how it can be affected by manufacturing and installation.
