very interesting. I think that the study of the ring must continue. as it is not possible to disassemble the ring, it is necessary to implant a mechanism, my point is, the repairs are not going to give solution, it is necessary to change the conditions of the ring, or to change the design...
i am sorry, the English is not my native language, and frequently I confuse some terms.
"enough" is not the right terms. stiff is the right term.
about your coment, I think that this problem needs the implantation a new mechanism. a turbine of 7.8 mtrs of diameter is very great, and the...
I think that the implantation of a shock-absorbing mechanism is the solution, it would not change the enough of the ring, but it diminishes the displacements since the energy dissipates through this mechanism; like happens in the car, when a rim (wheel)hits with a hole.
the fatigue is an...
