    Abstract: As test samples, mild steel plates with thicknesses of 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, and 1.0 mm were made. After welding these test samples underwent Tensile Stress and strain tests with the Built Welding Robot and Manual Electric Arc Welding Machine. Both data collected from tensile stress and tensile stress were analyzed and the data pr... Show More

    Abstract: In this study of the composite material’s destruction caused by transverse force with the use of von Mises criterion, the simulation outcomes of the composite material’s cells destruction process and generated AE signals with increasing the strain rate is considered. The time dependencies of the change in the number of remaining elements and the ge... Show More

    Abstract: A computational analysis was carried out on two different materials of turbine blades, namely Inconel MA754 and Nimonic 80A, in order to determine their structural and thermal properties at elevated temperatures. Long carbon fibers of uniform length were used and deposited at varying thicknesses ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm, on the top surface of turb... Show More

    Abstract: The effect of inhibitor concentration and immersion time on the corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency of AISI 1019 steel in seawater environment were investigated by means of weight loss measurement (WLM) at an interval of 6days for a period of 60 days. AISI 1019 steel were immersed in seawater solution in the absence and presence of varying inh... Show More
