摘要： This invention presents a transformative design decision support tool (an e-Design Assessment Engine), one that 1. Significantly reduces cost and risk of engineering design projects, over the state of affair, in part through early and automatic detection of design oversights; 2. Offers compelling reduction in the development time of designs, through improved productivity, but without compromising quality or creativity; 3. Offers wide range of flexibility in terms of supporting design processes employed at different design organizations. The design oversights are identified through proper structuring of the engineering design requirements, extraction of relevant design parameters through application program interfaces provided by the pertinent design tools, and mapping against the requirements. Big data analytics are applied to repositories of past designs, for the purpose of improving new designs. The Engine can be used stand-alone, as a part of a design ecosystem, or integrated into existing systems for product lifecycle or data management.

摘要： Methodologies for non-destructively inspecting and characterizing micro-structural features in a thermal barrier coating (TBC) on a component, wherein the micro-structural features define pores and cracks, if any, in the TBC. The micro-structural features having characteristics at least in part based on a type of process used for developing the TBC and affected by operational thermal loads to which a TBC is exposed. In one embodiment, the method allows detecting micro-structural features in a TBC, wherein the detecting of the micro-structural features is based on energy transmitted through the TBC, such as may be performed with a micro-feature detection system 20. The transmitted energy is processed to generate data representative of the micro-structural features, such as may be generated by a controller 26. The data representative of the micro-structural features is processed (e.g., by a processor 30) to determine at least one of the following: volumetric porosity information for the TBC and variation in the characteristics of the micro-structural features over a thickness of the TBC. Based on the results of the data processing, information is generated regarding at least one of the following: a present condition of the thermal barrier coating and a future likely condition of the thermal barrier coating. In another embodiment, one can estimate a level of thermal load to which the thermal barrier coating has been exposed.

摘要： A catalyst element (30) for high temperature applications such as a gas turbine engine. The catalyst element includes a metal substrate such as a tube (32) having a layer of ceramic thermal barrier coating material (34) disposed on the substrate for thermally insulating the metal substrate from a high temperature fuel/air mixture. The ceramic thermal barrier coating material is formed of a crystal structure populated with base elements but with selected sites of the crystal structure being populated by substitute ions selected to allow the ceramic thermal barrier coating material to catalytically react the fuel-air mixture at a higher rate than would the base compound without the ionic substitutions. Precious metal crystallites may be disposed within the crystal structure to allow the ceramic thermal barrier coating material to catalytically react the fuel-air mixture at a lower light-off temperature than would the ceramic thermal barrier coating material without the precious metal crystallites.
