The present paper describes fuzzy logic simulation of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process to predict the Quality of weld joint. It describe the quality of weld joint & effect of welding current, voltage and welding speed on tensile strength of shielded metal arc pipe welded mild steel joints. An ERW Mild steel pipe I S 1239 of 6 mm thickness and 150 mm diameter were used as the base mater...

The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of metallurgy on the corrosion behaviour of separate weld zone (WZ) and parent plate (PP) regions of X65 pipeline steel in a solution of deionised water saturated with CO2, at two different temperatures (55 °C and 80 °C) and at initial pH~4.0. In addition, a non-electrochemical immersion experiment was also performed at 80 °C in CO2, on ...

Spatially regulated transcription of the pipe gene in ventral cells of the Drosophila ovary follicle cell epithelium is a key event that specifies progeny embryo dorsal-ventral (DV) polarity. pipe encodes ten putative protein isoforms, all of which exhibit similarity to vertebrate glycosaminoglycan-modifying enzymes. Expression of one of the isoforms, Pipe-ST2, in follicle cells has previously ...

For the fatigue design of a large scaled welded structure, the readily accessibility of various engineering tools is required for the static, fatigue, dynamic analysis and parametric study. In this paper, a multi-agent system is suggested for the development of distributed, open and intelligent design system. The developed design system is applied to assess cumulative fatigue damage on the weld...

Limiting dome height (LDH) tests were used to evaluate the formability of laser butt welded blanks of the dual phase 980 steel in comparison with the base metal. Two different lasers were used: diode and Nd:YAG, giving a wide range of welding thermal cycles. A sharp decrease in LDH was observed in the welded specimens due to the formation of a softened zone in the outer heat affected zone. Soft...

As part of a programme investigating the structural integrity of welds, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique was used to obtain the full-field strain distribution during tensile testing of cross-weld specimens cut from a multi-pass girth welded pipe. The displacement maps were analyzed using Matlab scripts to compute local stress-strain variations from which the local proof stress valu...

Neutron diffraction measurements have been performed to determine the full residual stress tensor along the expected crack path in an austenitic stainless steel (Esshete 1250) compact tension weld specimen. A destructive slitting method was then implemented on the same specimen to measure the stress intensity factor profile associated with the residual stress field as a function of crack length...
