The innovative intelligent fuzzy weighted input estimation method (FWIEM) can be applied to the inverse heat transfer conduction problem (IHCP) to estimate the unknown time-varying heat flux of the multilayer materials as presented in this paper. The feasibility of this method can be verified by adopting the temperature measurement experiment. The experiment modular may be designed by using the...

In the present study, the evolution of microstructure in laser-welded joints of ferrite-based dual-phase Fe-Al-Mn-C steel sheets was analyzed and its effect on the mechanical properties of the joints was investigated. Laser welding was performed using different powers and welding speeds to attain different heat inputs. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) examinations and hardness measuremen...

The similarity model commonly used in laser plasma calculations is shown to be identical with the uniformly expanding universe model analysed by Heckmann 1. A solution is found to the corresponding gasdynamic equations also for the case of nonvanishing entropy production. The solution is analytic for a class of heat input rates. Heat input is shown to affect the gas motion in an exponential man...

In this study, the effect of various welding parameters on the weldability of Mild Steel specimens having dimensions 50mm× 40mm× 6 mm welded by metal arc welding were investigated. The welding current, arc voltage, welding speed, heat input rate are chosen as welding parameters. The depth of penetrations were measured for each specimen after the welding operation on closed butt joint and the ef...

Cracking is a major concern in welding aluminum alloys. Although weld solidification cracks can be eliminated through the addition of filler metal, the additives modify the alloy or base metal constituents and may not always be desirable. High-energy beam processes, such as electron beam welding, that result in minimal heat input reduce crack sensitivity, but their high cost limits their applic...

The identifiability (i.e. the unique identification) of conductivity in a heat conduction process is considered in the class of piecewise constant conductivities. The 1-D process may have nonzero boundary inputs as well as distributed inputs. Its measurements are collected at finitely many observation points. They are processed to obtain the first eigenvalue and a constant multiple of the first...
