A UCF-led research team has succeeded in studying the impact of extreme heat on jet engine turbines in near real-time, which could ultimately help manufacturers better protect against breakdown.<\/p>\n
The work, which was published Thursday in Nature Communications<\/em>, was conducted at the 海角直播, the Institute of Materials Research at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago with the collaboration ofCleveland State 海角直播.<\/p>\n
Seetha Raghavan, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at UCF, conceived of the highly challenging idea of monitoring the very thin layers of super strong coatings used to protect turbine blades as they are exposed to extreme conditions in order to get a clear understanding of how they fail.<\/p>\n
