Friction stir welding is a relatively new solid state joining process, which is suitable for welding similar and dissimilar materials.  The present research work concentrates on the effect of tool rotational speed on the tensile, microstructural properties and microhardness of the friction stir welded joints of different grades of austenitic stainless steel sheets. Four different tool rotationa...

This study focused on the optimization of Al—Mg to CuZn34 friction stir lap welding (FSLW) process for optimal combination of rotational and traverse speeds in order to yield favorable fracture load using Grey relational analysis (GRA). First, the degree of freedom was calculated for the system. Then, the experiments based on the target values and number of considered levels, corresponding orth...

The noise and vibration of a ring-plate pincycloid gear reducer driven by two motors are measured respectively at different rotational speeds and different loads. The data are collected and analyzed using the HEAD acoustics multi-channel noise test and analysis system. The ArtemiS is a set of analysis system for improving product quality in all areas of sound and vibration. From the frequency s...

external fluted feed rolls are commonly used in grain drills. the fluted feed roll meters a volume of seeds and does not singulate the seeds as do the precision planters; therefore, there will be inherent variation in the number of seeds delivered per unit of time. this research was conducted to investigate the effect of seed meter drive shaft and ground speeds and outlet positions in a grain d...

in this study canthaxanthin was produced by dietzia natronolimnaea hs1 and used for incorporation in niosomes after extraction. effect of rotational speed of rotary vacuum evaporator flask (100 and 150 rpm), canthaxanthin concentration (0, 1 and 2 microgram/ milliliter), concentration of poly ethylene glycol 400 (0, 0.1 and 0.2 %), surfactant type (tween 60 and 80, span 60 and 80) and surfactan...

In this study, we characterized the rotational efficiency of the photo-driven Archimedes screw. The micron-sized Archimedes screws were fabricated using the two-photon polymerization technique. Free-floating screws trapped by optical tweezers align in the laser irradiation direction and rotate spontaneously. The influences of the screw pitch and the number of screw blades have been investigated...

in this study, the effects of linear and rotational speed of the friction stir welding tool was investigated on the heat generation and distribution at surface and inside of workpiece, material flow and geometry of the welding area of poly methyl methacrylate (pmma) workpiece. the commercial cfd fluent 6.4 software was used to simulation of the process with computational fluid dynamic technique...
