Strain measurement is important in mechanical testing. A wide variety of techniques exists for measuring strain the tensile test; namely gauge, extensometer, stress and determined by machine crosshead motion, Geometric Moire technique, optical others. Each technique has its own advantages disadvantages. The purpose this study to quantitatively compare techniques. To carry out test experiments S 235, sixty samples were cut from web I-profile longitudinal transverse directions four different...
This review sheds novel insights on the residual oxide behaviour of solid-state weld joints aluminium alloys. Understanding influence oxides surface before and during welding, its impact structure possible solutions for reducing were addressed. The techniques most relevant to transportation sector namely, diffusion bonding, friction stir spot welding ultrasonic surveyed, analysed reviewed. During this analysis, implication presence substrate affecting metallurgical characteristics was...
CHANGES in peripheral nerves occurring diabetes have been extensively studied during the past few years by refined electrophysiological and histological methods. The most common functional change is a slowing nerve conduction velocity<sup>1</sup>which may be present without clinical signs of motor or even sensory involvement, therefore has proved to expression latent neuropathy.<sup>2</sup> It was later recognized that reduction velocity related segmental demyelination fibers, diabetic...
Accelerated desensitization of nicotinic receptor channels and its dependence on extracellular calcium in isolated skeletal muscles streptozotocin‐diabetic mice,
Today, the quality of welded seams is often examined off-line with either destructive or non-destructive testing. These test procedures are time-consuming and therefore costly. This especially true if welds not accurately due to process anomalies. In manual welding, experienced welders able detect anomalies by listening sound welding process. this paper, an approach transfer “hearing” welder into automated testing presented. An acoustic measuring device for recording audible installed...
The laser beam is a small, flexible and fast polishing tool. With radiation it possible to finish many outlines or geometries on quartz glass surfaces in the shortest time. It's fact that temperature developing while determines reachable surface smoothing and, as negative result, causes material tensions. To find out which parameters are important for process roughness respectively estimate tensions, simulations extensive experiments took place. During these starting machining were changed...
Multi material pairings like metal-plastic hybrid compounds are becoming increasingly important across all industrial sectors. However, the substitution of metals by plastics leads to a multitude challenges based on combination dissimilar materials. The variations in chemical and physical properties used materials require innovative joining processes. application reactive multilayers represents an advanced method for flexible low-distortion partners means short-term localized thermal energy....
The desire to generate a stress optimised structural node with maximum stability is often coupled the goal of low manufacturing costs and an adapted minimal use material. complex, three-dimensional free-form structures, which are created by means topology-optimisation, only partially suitable for conventional manufacturing. wire arc additive (WAAM), welding processes, offer cost-effective flexible possibility individual production metallic components. Gas metal (GMAW) particularly produce...

During the layer-by-layer build-up in Direct Energy Deposition (DED) - Arc additive manufacturing (AM) process, distance between contact tube and workpiece, effectively welded layer, changes. Since weld paths are predefined by path planning software, a constant Contact Tube to Workpiece Distance (CTWD) bead height is assumed. However, even small changes geometry, such as crossovers of paths, result higher beads than Similarly, an incorrectly assumed input will change CTWD. The sum deviations...
