Turbomachinery industry
Since its foundation, General Engineering Solutions have specialised in numerical computations for turbo machine industry. The scope of services provided by us includes strength, thermal, fatigue and advanced flow rate computations. GES ensures comprehensive engineering services adjusted to individual needs of a particular contractor.
Their scope involves all stages of project: detailed analysis of particular components, design, production, tests, research and development.
In our daily work we conduct computations of sub-assemblies of gas and steam turbines both for stationary components and rotational high and low pressure sections.
We ensure product support during its whole lifespan.
Projects we carry out include all areas of knowledge of fluid-flow machine engineering, from basic analyses and tests, through design, to combustion chamber analyses. Should such need arise, our engineers are able to work directly in the Client’s office, which enables quicker team communication and problem reaction.
Should you be interested in the services provided, do not hesitate to contact us.
FEM analysis scope
- steady-state and transient strength analyses. The most important projects include:
• strength analysis of the blades in a section of a high-pressure GT
• strength analysis of a compressor shaft
• strength analysis of the disks in a high-pressure GT section
• strength analysis of a combustion chamber and a transition duct - steady-state and transient thermal analyses
- the effect of thermal stress on structures
- harmonic analyses
- modal analyses of blades and complete blade rings, taking in to account thermal stress, the centrifugal force and the forces from the working medium (pre-stress modal analysis) – defining typical forms of deformation and resonance frequencies (Dispersion, Campbell, Goodman diagrams)
- plastic deformation analyses
- high-temperature creep analyses
- analyses of thermal and mechanical deformation between individual components (clearance analysis)
- analyses of flange to flange contact
- analyses of bolt connections to ensure proper contact
- optimization of structures in terms of stress reduction and material selection
