The heat affected zone and arc length parameters have a vital role to play in determining the integrity of a weld structure. The cooks distance is a statistical diagnostic employed in this study to select the best optimum combination of welding process parameters. Mild steel plate was the choice material used to produce the weld specimen, which was welded with the Tungsten inert gas method. The RSM model was used to develop an optimal solution that can explain the behavior of the welded joint with respect to the heat affected zone and arc length, different diagnostic techniques were employed which includes the normal probability plot and cooks distance plot. The model developed has sufficient merit as the results obtained shows that the cooks distance values is within the range of 0 and 1 indicating the absence of outlier in the data making the optimal solution highly acceptable.

In this study, a model for the melting efficiency of Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) was developed and validated using experiments. It was found that the melting efficiency increases with current, speed, arc length and electrode tip angle. The melting efficiency is found to be stable with increase in electrode diameter. The results were compared with existing studies.


Nowadays, the joining process plays a vital role in every field of engineering application. Various similar and dissimilar materials are joined by many joining processes to a formed complex component. In all joining processes, welding is a very popular and effective joining process that gives permanent joint. In this process material to be joined is under influence of heat which is produced with aid of external (flame) and internal (friction) mediums. Further, there are types of welding process called friction welding which is solid-state welding, in that process friction had developed between materials having relative motion thus sufficient heat also produced, and welding is performed in solid-state. In recent time’s friction welding is widely used in automobile, aeronautical, structural, marine, etc areas due to its flexibility demand for various materials. In this research work, the aluminium 6061 and mild steel are joined by friction welding by varying the rotating speed of lathe chuck, friction time, burn-off length, and the joint is examined by a tensile test to check its strength. Taguchi’s orthogonal array was used to design the experiment and at the end, the ANOVA test is carried out for the optimization of process parameters.

The high-strength low-alloy microalloyed steel was procured as a hot rolled plate with accelerated cooling. The Gleeble thermal simulated process involved heating the steel specimens to the peak temperature of 1400 °C, with constant cooling rates of 3.75 °C/s and 2 °C/s to room temperature. The four-wire tandem submerged arc welding process, with different heat input, was used to generate a welded microstructure. The martensite/austenite constituent appeared in the microstructure of the heat affected zone region for all the specimens along the prior-austenite grain boundaries and between bainitic ferrite laths. The blocky-like and stringer martensite/austenite morphology were observed in the heat affected zone regions. The martensite/austenite constituents were obtained by a combination of field emission scanning electron microscopes and image analysis software The Charpy absorbed energy of specimens was assessed using Charpy impact testing at-50 °C. Brittle particles, such as martensite/austenite constituent along the grain boundaries, can make an easy path for crack propagation. Similar crack initiation sites and growth mechanism were investigated for specimens welded with different heat input values.

AbstractEdge offloading, including offloading to edge base stations (BS) via cellular links and to idle mobile users (MUs) via device-to-device (D2D) links, has played a vital role in achieving ultra-low latency characteristics in 5G wireless networks. This paper studies an offloading method of parallel communication and computation to minimize the delay in multi-user systems. Three different scenarios are explored, i.e., full offloading, partial offloading, and D2D-enabled partial offloading. In the full offloading scenario, we find a serving order for the MUs. Then, we jointly optimize the serving order and task segment in the partial offloading scenario. For the D2D-enabled partial offloading scenario, we decompose the problem into two subproblems and then find the sub-optimal solution based on the results of the two subproblems. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the offloading method of parallel communication and computing can significantly reduce the system delay, and the D2D-enabled partial offloading can further reduce the latency.

Balancing assembly line in a mass production system plays a vital role to improve the productivity of a manufacturing system. In this paper, a single model assembly line balancing problem (SMALBP) is considered. The objective of this problem is to group the tasks in the assembly network into a minimum number of workstations for a given cycle time such that the balancing efficiency is maximized. This problem comes under combinatorial category. So, it is essential to develop efficient heuristic to find the near optimal solution of the problem in less time. In this paper, an attempt has been made to design four different genetic algorithm (GA)-based heuristics, and analyze them to select the best amongst them. The analysis has been carried out using a complete factorial experiment with three factors, viz. problem size, cycle time, and algorithm, and the results are reported.

The purpose of the research are determine acceptance criteria the specimen based on ASME standard. The research used mild steel materials with hardness 220 HVN with sized 30 cm x 20 cm x 1.2 cm then  SMAW welding process position of 3G buttjoint with rooting electrode LB 52U diameter 2.6 mm used current 70 Amper and voltage 380 volt, for Filler used LB 5218 electrode 3.2 mm with current of 80 Amper and voltage of 380 volts. The welding process influenced by many factor which cause failure. The method for inspect result of weld used Non Destructive Test Penetrant Testing (NDT PT) and used ASME standard for acceptance criteria. The test results showed the discontinuity of porosity on the surface of the welded product in specimen 1 is the largest rounded 5 mm at 233 mm distance so that based on the acceptance criteria of AWS standard, the welding result is accepted and the specimen 2 there is discontinuity at 233 mm with the size of 8 mm so that Otherwise rejected. This rejected result can be improved by gouging the discontinuity and then welded.
