Experimental and Finite Element Analysis of Single-V Groove Butt Weld on Weld...IJSRD
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process (GTAW) is widely used in fabrication of Aluminium and Aluminium Alloy material when precision is considered as a prime importance. Deformations in the object undergoing welding are one of the foremost problems encountered in the welding industry. Thus it is often required to study the factors which affect the deformations produced during welding to avoid errors in the geometry. Present investigation highlights Experimental and Finite Element Analysis of a Single-V Groove Butt Weld on Weld Pool Geometry of Aluminium Alloy Plate under Different Joint Parameters.Finite Element Method (FEM) has been employed to do the transient thermal and structural analysis of the assembly. The Finite Element Analysis has been done on ANSYS 14.5 Workbench. Number of factors is liable to produce effects in the job during the welding operation. Aim of this paper is the effect of welding parameters like as welding current, shielding gas flow rate and welding speed with mechanical Properties like tensile strength and hardness. After that finite element analysis for temperature distribution and distribution of the stresses in the welded Aluminium alloy plate. The results show that the larger the Welding current and smaller welding speed will lead to the maximum residual tensile stress. Therefore a residual stress will arise from the restraint position. The ultimate residual stress of weldment is determined by material yield strength at different temperature. The higher yield strength at different temperature has higher material residual stress. Because of its higher thermal conductivity, aluminium alloy test specimens have small temperature differential.

Effect of welding heat input on the microstructure of dissimilar metals: Inco...Mohamad Masaeli
Abstract
In dissimilar joining, the correct selection of filler metal and appropriate joining heat input is critical. In the current
study, two dissimilar alloys (Inconel 625, 316L stainless steel) and a super alloy of Inconel 625 were welded using
the tungsten arc method under inert gas protection. Welding was performed using three filler metals (Inconel 625, 82
and 309 L stainless steel) and three different heat inputs (1.5, 1.9, 2.3 kJ/mm) under the protection of argon gas.
Microstructures of different areas of welding joints were investigated under all welding conditions using optical
microscopy and a scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results
showed that all joining have a good continuity with no splits or discontinuity at the joint point. All filler metals
microstructures were observed in austenitic form with frozen dendrite structure. This investigation showed the
presence of an unadulterated region in some joining, and it became clear that this area increased with increased heat
input.

Modeling of the Heating Sequences of Lightweight Steel/Aluminum Bimaterial Bi...Fluxtrol Inc.
Paper by:
Robert Goldstein Fluxtrol Inc., Auburn Hills, MI, USA
Bulent Chavdar Eaton, Southfield, MI, USA
Lynn Ferguson DANTE Solutions Inc., Cleveland, OH, USA
ABSTRACT:
In this paper, the concept studied is hot forged from a bimetal
billet, which is a steel tube press fit with a solid aluminum
core and welded shut with steel end caps. For the experimental
part of the studies Al 7075 was selected as the core material
due to its high strength to weight ratio and 1020 steel was
selected because of its availability as a tube. Induction heating
was selected as the heating method for bimetal forging. This
is due to the ability of induction heating to rapidly heat the
steel layer. Successful bimetal forging of a closed vessel
requires the steel layer to be in the austenite phase prior to the
aluminum reaching high temperatures to prevent
compromising the weld seams. Modeling of the induction
heating process is complex due to the dimensional movement
of components during the process. A method was developed
to accurately model the induction heating process and predict
power requirements. The method will be described and the
results of the models will be compared to experimental
findings. The forming process will be discussed in another
paper at the conference. The simulation presented is for solid
state forging of a steel aluminum billet, but the method for
modeling the process is the same for hot hydroforging or other
material combinations.

Investigation on the Rate of Solidification and Mould Heating in the Casting ...IOSR Journals
Abstract: The quality of casting in the foundry can be measured by the rate at which solidification of the
molten metal takes place, which is consequent upon the rate the mould, is able to dissipate the heat of
solidification to the surroundings. The faster or slower the heat removal process during solidification the
structure of the grains formed by the casting is either finer of coarser. An experimental investigation was
carried out to compare the rate of solidification of commercially pure aluminium in metallic moulds. The rate at
which solidification occurred was compared with the rate at which the mould absorbed and dissipates heat. The
experiments conducted recorded the temperature fields at different casting location and that of the moulds
respectively. The results showed that there is a direct relation of the rate of heat absorption by the mould and
the rate of solidification in metallic moulds.
Keywords – Aluminium, casting, heat, mould, solidification, temperature.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
