As an advanced manufacturing technology which
has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed
machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip
formation during high speed machining is a complicated
material deformation and removing process. In research area
of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is
a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on the
software ABAOUS which involves Johnson-Cook material
model and fracture criterion was used to simulate the serrated
chip morphology and cutting force during high speed
machining of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The serrated chip
morphology and cutting force were observed and measured by
high speed machining experiment of AISI 1045 hardened steel.
The effects of rake angle on cutting force, sawtooth degree
and space between sawteeth were discussed. The investigation
indicates that the simulation results are consistent with the
experiments and this finite element simulation method
presented can be used to predict the chip morphology and
cutting force accurately during high speed machining of
hardened steel.
Finite Element Simulation of Serrated Chip Formation in High Speed CuttingIJRES Journal

This work focused on the study of high speed cutting process with finite element method, using commercial software ABAQUS/Explicit. The chip morphology is predicted, and the stress, strain and temperature in the chip are all simulated vividly when cutting stably. The serrated chip formation is explained by the adiabatic shear theory. The results showed that it is better to use the adiabatic shear theory to explain the formation of serrated chip.

TINCE2016 - Steel reinforcement calculations in RC members with account of te...Gildas POTIN
In the context of nuclear structures design, determination of reinforcement ratios in reinforced concrete members submitted to mechanical loads together with high through the wall thermal gradients, either stationary or transient, is a recurring issue. Solution of this problem needs to take into account, with sufficiently realistic methodology, the effect on thermo elastic forces and moments of the reduction of RC section inertia due to concrete cracking. Though this issue has been analyzed since long, typical methods proposed at steel reinforcement design stage, to account for section cracking, were mainly limited to the use of reduction factors applied to thermo elastic forces and moments, which was not ascertained to lead to optimized nor conservative results.
Improved calculation methodologies, which simultaneously account for concrete section cracking together with tension stiffening effect associated with uncracked zones of the concrete members have been tested by TRACTEBEL’s engineers prior to be implemented in specific software dedicated to automatic steel reinforcement calculations.

FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION OF WELDING IN STEEL PIPES AND PLATESIjorat1
Welding is a common joint type in the fabrication of structural members in aerospace, aeronautical and
pressure vessel industries. Welding is highly reliable and efficient metal joining process. The thermal response of
materials to a welding heat source sometimes causes mechanical problems, e.g. residual stresses and distortion and
changes in mechanical properties due to changes in the microstructure. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is the most
commonly used numerical technique, which provides accurate estimates of thermal parameters for this analysis. Finite
Element Analysis (FEA) is a tool used especially in determining the thermal stresses and temperature distribution of
the welded models, which are difficult to analyze by hand calculations. The objective of the current work is to study
transient temperature in both arc welded pipe and welded plate of 304L stainless steel. The object is modeled in 3D and
analyzed using FEA with an element type of SOLID70 and heat density of the moving circular area heat source is used.
Knowledge of temperature distribution patterns is useful in any welding process to predict microstructure and
distortion. In the current work a model has been developed to predict the thermal cycles during welding of 304L
pipeline steel
Cutting of hardened steel is a topic of high interest for toda 's industrial production and scientific research.
Machine parts consisting of hardened steel are high peiormance components which are often loaded
near their physical limits. The functional behavior of machined parts is decisively influenced by the fine
finishing process which represents the last step in the process chain and can as well be undertaken by
cutting as grinding. An overview of the mechanisms of chip removal in hard cutting and the thermomechanical
influence of the work area is presented. Furthermore, several models of chip removal in hard
turning are introduced and discussed summarizing the metallurgical fundamentals and giving an overview
on stress and temperature distributions in the work area. Boundary conditions for hard cutting as e.g.
machine tools, cutting materials and others are subject to discussion to determine the achievable
workpiece quality and economic efficiency of hard cutting processes in comparison with grinding.
Effect of Process Parameters on the Total Heat Damaged Zone (HDZ) during Micr...IJAMSE Journal
In micro electrical discharge machining, three subsurface layersare formed on the workpiece, they are; recast zone, heat affected zone and converted zone, primarily due to heating-quenching cycles. The HDZ in micro-EDM is characterized by cracks and weakness in the grain boundary and thermal residual stresses. This paper presents the effect of process parameters on the HDZ in micro-EDM of plastic mold steel 1.2738. As the energy of the sparks increases, the thickness of the HDZ increases and the average coefficient of correlation between energy and HDZ considering three different sections of the zone is 0.8099. Therefore, the effect of process parameters governing the discharge energy are analyzed; they are: average current (Ia), peak current (Ip) and pulse ‘on-time’ (Ton). An overall increase in heat-damaged zone thickness by 105% is observed with an increase in pulse on time.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Abstract
T-joint ®llet welds are extensively used in ship engineering and bridge structures. Localized heating from the welding process
and subsequent rapid cooling induce tensile residual stress near the toe of the T-joint in ®llet welds. Welding produces thermal
stresses that cause structural distortions, which in¯uence the buckling strength of the welded structures. This study describes the
thermal elasto-plastic analysis using ®nite element techniques to analyse the thermomechanical behaviour and evaluate the residual
stresses and angular distortions of the T-joint in ®llet welds. Furthermore, this work employs the technique of element birth and
death to simulate the weld ®ller variation with time in T-joint ®llet welds. Also discussed are the effects of ¯ange thickness,
welding penetration depth, and restraint condition of welding on the residual stresses and distortions. q 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Keywords: T-joint ®llet weld; Residual stresses; Angular distortions
1. Introduction
Metallurgical joints made by welding are extensively
used in the fabrication industry, including ships, off-
shore structures, steel bridges and pressure vessels.
Among the merits of such welded structures are high
joint ef®ciency, water and air tightness, and low fabri-
cation cost. The types of welded joint can be classi®ed
into ®ve basic categories: butt, ®llet, corner, lap and
edge. T-joint ®llet welds are widely employed in
ships, bridge structures and supporting frames for pres-
sure vessels and piping. Due to localized heating by the
welding process and subsequent rapid cooling, residual
stresses and distortions can occur near the T-joint. High
residual stresses in regions near the weld may promote brit-
tle fracture, fatigue, or stress corrosion cracking. Mean-
while, distortion in the base plate may reduce the buckling
strength of structural members. To accurately evaluate T-
joint ®llet welds, predicting welding residual stresses and
distortion in relation to considerations of design and safety
is a relevant task.
For the prediction of the residual stresses and distor-
tions attributed to welding, previous investigations have
developed several experimental methods, including
stress±relaxation [1], X-ray diffraction [2,3], ultrasonic
[4] and cracking [5]. In these methods the stresses are
determined by experimental methods. With the develop-
ment of computer techniques, the ®nite element method
for analysing thermomechanical behaviour in welded
structures has been further enhanced. For an analysis
of T-joint ®llet welds, Sasayama et al. [6] used the
experimental method to determine the relation between
longitudinal shrinkage deformation and welding para-
meters on long T-joint ®llet welds. This work also
presented a formula describing the deformation process.
Meanwhile, Guyot [7] discussed the effect of transverse
shrinkage on different types of ®llet welds and deduced
the shrinkage formula. Furthermore, Kumose et al. [8]
developed an experimental method to measure angular
distortions in single pass T-joint ®llet welds with differ-
ent welding parameters. Their investigation also consid-
ered ways to improve angular distortion. Nagaraja [9]
examined how the T-joint ®llet welds can be treated as

middle and edge of a butt-welded plate. Michaleris and
DeBiccari [10] designed a computational model to esti-
mate buckling and deformation on large and complex T-
joint ®llet welds. Meanwhile, Arnold [11] estimated
residual stresses in multipass ®llet welds using the ®nite
element code PAFEC. Furthermore, Finch and Burdekin
[12] discussed the effects of residual stresses on differ-
ent kinds of T-joint ®llet weld defects using the ®nite
element code ABAQUS. Finally, Ueda and Ma et al.
[13] developed elastoplastic ®nite-element computer
programs to improve the accuracy of two-dimensional
symmetric ®nite-element models and help them
approach three-dimensional models on T-joint ®llet
welds. Their investigation also discussed the effect of
T-joint weld size, and welding parameters on the weld
residual stresses.
Residual stresses and distortions are unavoidable in
welding, and the effects of these stresses and distortions
on welded structures cannot be disregarded. Deter-
mining residual stresses and distortions is thus an
important problem. However, accurate prediction of
residual stresses and distortions induced by the welding
process is extremely dif®cult because the thermal and
mechanical behaviour in welding include local high
temperature, temperature dependence of material proper-
ties, and a moving heat source. Finite element simula-
tion of the welding process is highly effective in
predicting thermomechanical behaviour. This investiga-
tion performs thermal elasto-plastic analysis using ®nite
element techniques to analyse the thermomechanical
behaviour and evaluate the residual stresses and angular
distortions of the T-joint in ®llet welds. Additionally, it
also considers the effects of ¯ange thickness, welding
penetration depth, and restraint condition on residual
stresses and distortions. Information on how to improve
the fabrication process of welded structures is also
presented.
2. Analysis model
2.1. Thermo-mechanical model
Welding residual stress distributions are calculated by
a ®nite element method. Fig. 1 presents the analysis
procedures.
2.1.1. Thermal model
In the thermal analysis, a total of 160 load steps
increasing from 0.001 to 10 s were required to complete
the heating cycle. Only 30 load increments were typi-
cally required for the weldment to return to its initial
(room) temperature. The time increments were auto-
matically optimised for each time step by the computer
program. The modi®ed Newton±Raphson method was
used in each time step for the heat balance iteration.
This study simulates the weld thermal cycles for SAE
1020 steel shown in Fig. 2. The convective heat transfer
coef®cients on the surfaces were estimated (using engi-
neering formulae for natural convection) to be
15 W m2
K21
.
2.1.2. Mechanical model
In the mechanical analysis, the temperature history
obtained from the thermal analysis was input as a ther-
mal loading into the structural model. The thermal
strains and stresses can be calculated at each time
increment. Also, the ®nal state of residual stresses
will be accumulated by the thermal strains and stresses.
During each weld pass, thermal stresses are calculated
from the temperature distributions determined by the
thermal model. The residual stresses from each tempera-
ture increment are added to the nodal point location to
determine the updated behaviour of the model before
the next temperature increment. The material was
assumed to follow the von Mises yield criterion and
the associated ¯ow rules. Phase transformation effects
were not considered in the current analysis due to
lack of material information, especially at high tempera-
tures, such as the near-melting state.

3. element `birth and death' to simulate the weld ®ller
variation with time in T-joint ®llet welds. All elements
must be created, including those weld ®llers to be
`born' in later stages of the analysis. The method
proposed does not remove elements to achieve the
`element death' effect. Instead, the method deactivates
them by multiplying their stiffness by a severe reduction
factor. Although zeroed out of the load vector, element
loads associated with deactivated elements still appear
in element-load lists. Similarly, mass, damping, speci®c
heat, and other such effects are set to zero for deacti-
vated elements. The mass and energy of deactivated
elements are excluded from the summations of the
model. An element's strain is also set to zero as soon
as that element is `killed'. Similarly, when elements are
born, they are not actually added to the model, but are
simply reactivated. When an element is reactivated, its
stiffness, mass, element loads, etc. return to their full
original values. Thermal strains are computed for newly
activated elements according to the current load step
temperature.
2.3. Veri®cation
The proposed method was compared with ®nite

joint ®llet welds using thermal elastic plastic three-
dimensional FEM and generalized plane strain FEM.
Fig. 3 portrays the residual stress distributions across
the width of the ¯ange. The solid lines and broken
lines in Fig. 3 represent the residual stress computed
by Ma et al. and this work, respectively. According to
Fig. 3, the residual stress distributions computed by the
method proposed here show very good agreement with
those determined by three-dimensional FEM.

5. For Shim et al.'s investigation, a specimen was
constructed using multi-pass butt welding, with a length,
width and thickness of L ˆ 1000 mm; W ˆ 400 mm; t ˆ
25:4 mm; respectively, as shown in Fig. 4. The welding
used the submerged arc technique. Pass sequences and
welding parameters are shown in Table 1. Figs. 5 and 6
portray the distribution of the transverse and longitudi-
nal >residual stress on the thick plate computed by
Shim et al. and the present method. Shim et al. [14]
presented experimental results for the problem. Addi-
tionally, the ABAQUS ®nite element package is applied
as a comparison. As Fig. 5 indicate, the ABAQUS
package result showed slightly lower tensile transverse
stress near the weld centreline. The present method
tends to the experimental results near the surface. As
Fig. 6 indicate, both analysis results show tensile stress
near the weld centreline.

three-dimensional FEM and that found in Shim et al.'s
experiments. Therefore, the procedure proposed here is
considered appropriate for analysing residual stresses and
distortions due to welding.
3. Analysis of T-joint ®llet weld
3.1. Specimen and material properties
Fig. 7 depicts two plate ®llet weld. The length of the
®llet weld, the width of the ¯ange and height of the
web are assumed to be 500, 200 and 100 mm, respec-
tively. The plate thickness is 16 mm for the ¯ange and
12 mm for the web. The plate material is SAE 1020,
and the mechanical properties are dependent on the
temperature history, as Fig. 8 illustrates.
3.2. Welding conditions
The welding parameters chosen for this analysis
were as follows: welding method, single pass gas
tungsten-arc welding; welding current, I ˆ 260 A;
welding voltage, V ˆ 20 V; and welding speed,
v ˆ 5 mm sec21
. For practical welds, the heat sources
are applied along the weld path. However, this investi-
gation simulates the increment of heat loading on the
welding process via the lead temperature curve as
shown in Fig. 2.
3.3. Finite element model for T-joint ®llet welds
In the T-joint ®llet weld, the welds on both sides
of the webs are assumed to be simultaneously welded
under the same welding conditions. Therefore, the
T-joint ®llet weld can be considered to be symmetrical
with the Y±Z plane. his work develops a two-
dimensional symmetrical generalized plane strain model
to calculate the residual stresses of the T-joint ®llet
weld using the ®nite element method. With the aid
of this generalized plane strain condition, the three-
dimensional residual stress components distributed in
the transverse section can be computed by thermal
elasto-plastic analysis using ®nite element tech-
niques with unit thickness. The model employs two-
dimensional four node plane elements, including the
®nite element meshes for the ®llet weld, along with
re®ned meshes used in the weld area. The symmetric
model has 439 elements and 514 nodes as shown in
Fig. 9.
3.4. Mesh sensitivity study
To examine the adequacy of element sizes, the effect
of mesh re®nement in the weld area was studied. A new
model with re®ned meshes consists of 507 elements
and 585 nodes. Results from two mesh densities with
the same material model and geometry showed little
difference. Therefore, the original FEM model with-
out mesh re®nement in the weld joint is used for this
study.
3.5. Analysis procedure
During each weld pass, thermal stresses are cal-
culated from the temperature distributions deter-
mined by the thermal model. The residual stresses

8. from each temperature increment are added to the
nodal point location to determine the updated beha-
viour of the model before the next temperature
increment.
4. Results and discussion
4.1. Transverse residual stresses
A stress acting normal to the direction of the weld
bead is known as a transverse residual stress, denoted
sx. Fig. 10 represents the distributions of the residual
stress sx along the X direction. A very large tensile
residual stress is produced at the surface of the base
plates near the ®llet weld toes. The value of the residual
stress near the weld toes is 25 MPa and decreases to
zero as the distance from the weld toes increases.
Owing to the locally concentrated heat source, the
temperature near the weld bead and heat-affected zone
rapidly changes with distance from the heat source, i.e.
the highest temperature is limited to the domain of the
heat source, from which lower temperature zones fan
out. According to Fig. 10 the temperature non-
uniformity varies the shrinkage through the weldment
thickness during cool-down and, consequently a high
tensile residual stress occurs on the surface of the
weld toes.
4.2. Longitudinal residual stresses
A stress acting parallel to the direction of the
T.-L. Teng et al. / International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping 78 (2001) 523±538530
Fig. 8. The mechanical properties of T-joint ®llet weld.
9. weld bead is termed a longitudinal residual stress,
denoted sz. Fig. 11 depicts the distributions of the
residual stress sz along the X-direction. The longi-
tudinal residual stress develops from longitudinal
expansion and contraction during the welding sequence.
Along the weld line, a high tensile residual stress
arises near the weld toes, and then decreases to zero,
®nally becoming compressive as distance from the
weld line on the ¯ange increases. The residual stress
value is 110 MPa, approaching the yield stress of the
material. Due to the self-equilibrium of the weldment,
tensile and compressive residual stress exists at
the weld toes and away from the welding line on the
¯ange.
4.3. Angular distortion
For the angular distortion of a T-joint ®llet weld, the
angular change Du of the ¯ange for T-type joints is
expressed by Du ˆ a=b (for small angular change),
where b is the half length of the ¯ange and a is
the displacement of the Y direction along the ¯ange
edge. This equation describes the angular change of
the ¯ange for the T-joint ®llet weld illustrated in
Fig. 12. In T-type ®llet welding, Fig. 13 represents

elements.

10. the changes of angular distortion (Du) with cooling
time. This ®gure reveals that the angular distortion
downward is about 0.006 rad when the weldment has
cooled for 2 s. This is because the thermal expansion
in the upper portion exceeds that in the lower one.
Fig. 13 reveals that, after 20 s of weldment cooling,
the angular distortion upward is approximately
0.003 rad, and almost does not change. This is because
the upwards bend of the ¯ange due to plastic deforma-
tion in the upper portion exceeds that in the lower
portion.
4.4. Effect of ¯ange thickness
Fig. 14 presents the transverse residual stress sx
along the X direction for 10, 16 and 22 mm, related to ¯ange
thickness. All of the stress distributions indicate
tensile stresses near the weld toes, which then decrease
to zero as distance from the weld toes increases. Fig. 15
depicts the longitudinal residual stress distributions
along the X direction, for 10, 16 and 22 mm, related
to ¯ange thickness. All of the stress distributions
show tensile stresses near the weld line, that then
decrease to become compressive with increasing
distance from the weld line. Figs. 14 and 15 reveal
that with increasing ¯ange thickness, the residual stress
increases. Thus, ¯ange thickness affects the maximum
residual stress near the weld toe of the ¯ange in the
following two ways: (1) With increasing ¯ange thick-
ness, the temperature nonuniformity varies the thermal
expansion and shrinkage during cool-down, and, conse-
quently, the residual stress increases. (2) A thicker

12. ¯ange strengthens the internal restraint and increases
residual stress.
4.5. Effect of welding penetration depth
In the welding process, different weldment thick-
nesses require different weld penetration depths to
avoid a non-penetration defect. This research selects
elements and controls the heat input to investigate the
effect of different weld penetration depths on residual
stresses and distortions. All simulation models have the
same dimensions and the same weld toe length. As Fig.
16 shows, the weld penetration depth is assumed to be 0
or 6 mm.
Figs. 17 and 18 present the distributions for the
different welding penetration depth of the residual
stresses sx and sz along the X direction. The resi-
dualstress for a 6 mm penetration depth ®llet weld
is smaller than that in a 0 mm penetration depth weld.
This difference is because the larger penetration
depth corresponds to an increase in heat input or a
reduction of the welding speed, enlarging the heat
affected zone and reducing the temperature variation
of the upper and lower surfaces of the ¯ange.
Furthermore, the distortion and welding residual stress
decrease.
4.6. Effect of restraint conditions
In order to reduce T-joint ®llet weld angular
distortion, an external clamp is frequently applied
to the ¯ange, as Fig. 19 illustrates. This research

13. investigates the effect of restraint conditions and
restraint position on angular distortions and residual
stresses.
Fig. 20 presents the angular distortion of the
¯ange with various restraint positions. The ®gure
reveals that the angular distortion with restraint is
smaller than when the ¯ange is unrestrained. When
the applied restraint position is ®xed at 39.8 mm, this
computation provides a minimum angular distortion
0.002 rad.

14. Figs. 21 and 22 show the distribution of the
restrained and unrestrained residual stresses sx, sz
along the X direction. The value of the residual stress
in the restrained model is smaller than that in the
unrestrained model. This difference occurs because
when the restraint is removed after welding, the ¯ange
is slightly bent by the released restraint force, and this
induces compressive stress on the top surface of the ¯ange
and tensile stress on the bottom surface of the ¯ange. This
new pattern of stress allows the tensile residual stress near
the toe to be reduced. This phenomenon means that the
restraint used to prevent angular distortion is also effective
in reducing the tensile residual stress near the weld toe.
5. Conclusions
This research employs the ®nite element method
to evaluate residual stresses and angular distortions in
T-joint ®llet welds. The technique of element birth and
death is used to simulate the weld ®ller variation with
time in T-joint ®llet welds. Additionally, it discusses the
effects of ¯ange thickness, welding penetration depth
and restraint condition of welding on residual stresses.
Based on the results in this study, we conclude the
following:
1. For transverse residual stresses, a high tensile
stress is produced near the ®llet weld toe. As
distance from the weld toe increases the stress
approaches zero.
2. For longitudinal residual stresses, a very large
tensile stress occurs near the weld toe, and a
compressive stress appears away from the weld
bead.
3. The temperature distribution along the ¯ange thick-
ness causes ®llet weld angular distortions, which
bend the ¯ange up.
4. With increasing ¯ange thickness, the internal
restraints are increased and the tensile residual stress
near the ®llet weld toe increases.
5. With increasing penetration depth or heat input
in ®llet welding, the tensile residual stress near the
®llet weld toe decreases, and can also improve non-
penetration defects.
6. In a restrained ®llet weld, the tensile residual stress

after the restraint force is released. When the applied
restraint position is changed at the boundary, a mini-
mum angular distortion can be obtained.
