Bobbin tool friction stir welding (BTFSW) is a variant of the FSW process which uses special two-shoulder that forms top and bottom weld surface. As such, significant simplification setup achieved. One dominant parameters BTFSW interference between shoulder pinch gap metal thickness. In this research, influence square pin with convex shoulders on temperature, microstructure, tensile, impact, be...

This paper proposes a novel approach for an optimal multi-objective optimization for VLSI implementation of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) which is area-power-speed efficient and has high degree of accuracy and dynamic range. A VLSI implementation of feed forward neural network in floating point arithmetic IEEE-754 single precision 32 bit format is presented that makes the use of digital weigh...

Floating point arithmetic is widely used in many areas, especially scientific computation and signal processing. The main applications of floating points today are in the field of medical imaging, biometrics, motion capture and audio applications. The IEEE floating point standard defines both single precision and double precision formats. Multiplication is a core operation in many signal proces...

An automated algorithm is presented for the analysis and classification of eddy current bobbin probe data obtained from nuclear power plant steam generator tubes (SGT). This algorithm attempts to find a balance between the two seemingly conflicting requirements of SGT eddy current data analysis, namely, detecting and identifying as many of the actual defects as possible, whilst limiting the num...
