Singh\u003c\/b\u003e (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania) is the President of Safe Technical Solutions, Inc (SAFETSOL). Dr. Singh has been involved in the design, development, and analysis of industrial turbomachinery for more than thirty years with Turbodyne Corporation, Dresser Industries, Dresser-Rand Company, GE CONMEC, and most recently with GE Oil \u0026amp; Gas as a Consulting Engineer. Dr. Singh has extensive knowledge and experience with fatigue and fracture mechanics, stress and vibration of structures, reliability, life analysis, and probabilistic analysis. His practical application experience includes a variety of rotating equipment including Warm Gas and FCC Expanders, Steam Turbines, and Centrifugal Compressors. He developed the widely used SAFE diagram for the reliability evaluation of turbine blades. The SAFE diagram methodology is superior to other current methods in providing clear analytical and predictive information. This concept has been applied to other turbomachinery. It is a significant contribution to design methods and vibration technology for the evaluation of turbine blade reliability. For many years, Dr. Singh has been involved in (developing and teaching) the application of living strategy to many mechanical components, including HCF, ICF, creep, and fracture mechanics. Probabilistic estimation is used to estimate risk in design. He is the co-author of the book \"Steam Turbine, Design, Application, and Rerating\", second edition published by McGraw-Hill Co.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. George M. Lucas, PE, \u003c\/b\u003e is a registered Professional Engineer with over 34 years of experience in the design, analysis and operation of steam turbines and large rotating equipment. As Director of Engineering for Dresser-Rand's Wellsville Steam Turbine Operation, George was directly responsible for product design, steam path engineering, turbine performance, and manufacturing engineering for their custom engineered process drive steam turbines and steam turbine generators. He was directly responsible for the design of over 100 custom engineered steam turbines and contributed to the design and development of several Engineered Steam Turbine product families. Mr. Lucas was Design Project Leader for the joint Dresser-Rand\/EPRI project that resulted in the successful commissioning of the 110 MW gas turbine\/expander train at PowerSouth Electric Cooperative's McIntosh Compressed Energy Storage Plant. Mr. Lucas received B. Sc. (1975) and M. Eng. (1976) degrees from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He holds two U.S. patents and has authored technical papers on topics including the use of advanced seals in steam turbines, compressed air energy storage and the development of advanced steam turbines for syn-gas compressor drive service. Mr. Lucas is currently an independent consultant serving OEM and end-user clients in oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing industries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill Companies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39927149756531,"sku":"0071635742","price":246.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_cd7cc974-c9e4-46b5-9900-c6795d6862cb.jpg?v=1647522288","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/blade-design-and-analysis-for-steam-turbines-9780071635745","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
