Aluminium has very unique properties of light
weight and corrosion resistance and due to this it becomes
very interesting metal in the field of engineering. Mainly this
paper deals with effect and optimization of certain range of
values of process parameters during TIG welding of
aluminium alloy 7075.
In the first cycle of experiment the effect of values
(in wide range) of gas flow rate and welding current during
TIG welding of Aluminium alloy 7075 has been found out on
its mechanical properties such as ultimate tensile strength and
hardness. Visual inspection and dye penetrate test also has
been performed for every sample of welding.
From the results for ultimate tensile strength obtained in first
cycle of experiment, a try has been made to optimize process
parameters in second cycle of experiment by narrowing the
range of values of gas flow rate and welding current. Finally
the near optimal values of gas flow rate and welding current
has been found to get maximum UTS.

The complicated behavior of the process must be analyzed to set the optimum parameters to get the optimum weld quality. The paper also presents the FEA simulation of the RSW process.
Effect of various process parameters on friction stir welded jointeSAT Journals
Abstract Pure and ZnS added ADP (ammonium dihydrogen phosphate) single crystals have been grown at room temperature by the free evaporation method. A total of six crystals have been grown and characterized structurally, chemically, thermally, optically, mechanically and electrically by using the suitable standard methods. Results obtained indicate that the impurity molecules have entered into the ADP crystal matrix. ZnS addition is found to increase the SHG efficiency significantly. All the grown crystals exhibit good optical transmission in the entire visible region. Results of AC and DC electrical measurements indicate a normal dielectric behaviour for all the six crystals grown. The electrical parameters, viz., DC electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and AC electrical conductivity are found to increase with the increase in temperature. The optical, mechanical and electrical parameters are found to vary nonlinearly with the impurity (ZnS) concentration. Keywords: ADP crystal, Crystal growth, Doped crystals, Physical properties, X-ray diffraction.

It is used in a wide range of industries but notably for the assembly of sheet steel vehicle bodies. This is a type of resistance welding where the spot welds are made at regular intervals on overlapping sheets of metal. Spot welding is primarily used for joining parts that are normally up to 3 mm in thickness. The joint quality can be defined in terms of properties such as weld-bead geometry, mechanical properties and distortion.The objective of the research is to determine the optimum combination of parameters responsible for better quality of joints. The complicated behavior of the process must be analyzed to set the optimum parameters to get the optimum weld quality. The paper also presents the FEA simulation of the RSW process.
Effect of various process parameters on friction stir welded jointeSAT Journals
Abstract Pure and ZnS added ADP (ammonium dihydrogen phosphate) single crystals have been grown at room temperature by the free evaporation method. A total of six crystals have been grown and characterized structurally, chemically, thermally, optically, mechanically and electrically by using the suitable standard methods. Results obtained indicate that the impurity molecules have entered into the ADP crystal matrix. ZnS addition is found to increase the SHG efficiency significantly. All the grown crystals exhibit good optical transmission in the entire visible region. Results of AC and DC electrical measurements indicate a normal dielectric behaviour for all the six crystals grown. The electrical parameters, viz., DC electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and AC electrical conductivity are found to increase with the increase in temperature. The optical, mechanical and electrical parameters are found to vary nonlinearly with the impurity (ZnS) concentration.

Optimization of Process Parameters of Tungsten Inert Gas Welding by Taguchi M...ijsrd.com
Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) is one of the most important joining technologies in welding-related fabrication. High quality weld joints without spattering and slags qualify this welding technology for the major part of metals. As the filler-metal supply is separated from the arc, the molten pool can be controlled in the best way possible an advantage which ensures the quality of the execution of the weld but entails a relatively low deposition rate and welding speed. When manufacturing consumer products where appearance is of importance; then the choice has to be TIG welding. Jobs that call for code requirements such as nuclear work, piping, and high profile consumer goods often require at least the first weld in the pipe joint to be TIG welding for an effective bond. In some cases all the passes on a multi-pass pipe weld may have to be TIG welding, if demand has high quality and code requirements.

The document discusses the behavior of passivators. It defines passivity as when certain metals become inert in particular environments, forming a protective oxide layer. Passivators are inorganic oxidizing agents like chromates, nitrites, and molybdates that form this thin oxide layer, preventing further corrosion. A metal's behavior depends on oxidizing power - in low-power solutions, metals corrode actively, but passivators increase power enough for passive oxide layers. For iron, concentrated nitric acid forms an insulating oxide layer, while diluted acid is not strong enough for passivation.

Finite element simulation of hybrid welding process for welding 304 austeniti...eSAT Journals
Abstract Although autogenous laser welding has many advantages over traditional welding methods in many applications, still the process has a main disadvantage of poor gap bridging capability, which limits its applicability for wider industrial use. Owing to this limiting factor, a great deal of research work was carried out to overcome this disadvantage by using Arc source with laser welding. The combination of laser and Arc (MIG/TIG) welding processes in a same process zone is known as Hybrid Welding. This process involves very high peak temperature and rapid change in thermal cycle both of which are difficult to measure in real time. In this dissertation work, a 3- dimensional finite element model was developed for the analysis of hybrid welding process. Ansys Parametric Design language (APDL) code was developed for the same. The FEA results were validated with experimental results showing good agreement. Hybrid welding Simulations were carried out for AISI 304 Austenitic stainless Steel plate. The effects of laser beam power, Arc Welding and torch angle on the weld-bead geometry i.e. penetration (DP), welded zone width (BW) were investigated. The experimental plan was based on three factor 5 level central composite rotatable design. Second order polynomial equations for predicting the weld-bead geometry were developed for bead width and depth of penetration. The results indicate that the effect of arc current (AC) on bead width was more than on depth of penetration. Hence, the proposed models predict the responses adequately within the limits of welding parameters being used.

manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Treating the soil with the stabilizer improved its unconfined compressive strength and resilient modulus, and reduced accumulated plastic strain, with these properties further improved by higher compaction efforts. The stabilized soil exhibited strength and performance benefits compared to the untreated soil.

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite
columns.

This document summarizes an experimental study that tested circular concrete-filled steel tube columns with varying parameters. 45 specimens were tested with different fiber percentages (0-2%), tube diameter-to-wall-thickness ratios (D/t from 15-25), and length-to-diameter (L/d) ratios (from 2.97-7.04). The results found that columns filled with fiber-reinforced concrete exhibited higher stiffness, equal ductility, and enhanced energy absorption compared to those filled with plain concrete. The load carrying capacity increased with fiber content up to 1.5% but not at 2.0%. The analytical predictions of failure load closely matched the experimental values.
Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.
Keywords: Flat slabs, punching shear, unbalanced moment.

Estimation of surface runoff in nallur amanikere watershed using scs cn methodeSAT Journals
Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.
Keywords: Reclaimed asphalt pavement, Foundry waste, Recycling, Marshall Stability, Indirect tensile strength.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

1. INTRODUCTION
Welding is a process of joining metal parts or we can say it
is fabrication process, in which by heating the surfaces of
the workpiece with the help of arc (may be mechanical or
electrical) or by other means and uniting them by
hammering or pressing, etc. We know that MIG welding is
one of most versatile technique till now in modern
production technology and most importantly, it is suitable
for both either for thin sheet or thick section components.
Basically, in this process, an electric arc is produced
between the consumable wire electrode and the workpiece,
due to this heat workpiece metal melts and join. Now in
order to protect weld pool from contamination from the
atmosphere, i.e. Moisture or oxygen, we are using inert
gasses like argon, helium or a mixture of argon-heliumor by
a mixture of argon-carbon dioxide. While compared to other
welding process in this method we are not providing any
external filler metal because the wire electrode provides the
arc as well act as a filler metal [1]. Now in this experiment
we are using mild steel, so basically mild steel means which
contain only a small percentage of carbon and also it is
strongest and most important it is not easily tempered or
hardened. As we know that using high carbon steel it is very
difficult to weld, as mild steel is easy to weld and most
important fact that most of the people are not aware of this
fact that certain types of high carbon steel, for example,
stainless steel and special technique are used for welding
due to that reason that, it is less brittle than high carbon
steels. The mild steel is more flexible than other steel [6].
We all know about that MIG welding, widely used in most
of the industry sectors due to its flexibility, deposition rates,
and suitability. So, in this era, determination of optimum
values of process parameters in the manufacturing industry
are the area of greatest interest for either for manufacturing
engineers or researchers. Most importantly, this process
parameter plays a vital role in determining the quality of a
welded joint. There are various parameters will affect the
welding because this parameter varied over a large extend.
Since they are considered as the primary adjustments i.e.
tool in any welding process. We all knew that the depth of
penetration is the most dominant magnitude related to the
weldability of the processes material, the welding
conditions, and the strength requirements. Therefore, we
have to attempt in such a way that the depth of penetration
should be maximized. The most important thing that
penetration is indirectly proportional to welding speed and
electrode diameter and penetration decreases with the
increase in the welding speed because the time during which
the arc force is allowed to penetrate into the material’s, thus
surface decreases [20]. So, the demand for producing joints
of dissimilar materials is continuously increasing due to cost
reduction and also good mechanical properties. As we
discuss earlier that it is extensively used in manufacturing
industries due to its simple technique and very easy to learn
and use, so welding defects can be minimized easily, as this
process, there is no slag and machine can run by automatic
or semi-automatic, so less skilled worker can easily
complete his task easily, metal deposition rates are high and
a lot more advantage than other forms of welding. Their
application such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel and
carbon steel can be joined with the help of MIG welding via
suitable electrode, shielding gas and different welding
conditions [3-5].
The present work mainly focuses on the weldability of
ASTM A29 with the process of MIG welding. The work
details of process parameters (welding voltage, welding
current and wire speed) influence on the response (Tensile
strength and Hardness) by using analysis of variance
(ANOVA) with the help of Taguchi array [L9].

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Fig. 3 predict the various steps in the Taguchi analysis [19].
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a statistical tool used to
analyze the S/N ratios. We also know that the term “signal”
represents the desirable mean value, and the “noise”-
undesirable value. Hence, we can say that S/N ratio show
the amount of variation, which is presented in the
performance characteristics.
Fig-3: Steps of Taguchi’s Analysis
4.1 ANOVA of Tensile Strength
In this experiment, Tensile strength is calculated
experimentally and Taguchi method is used for the analysis
with the help of ANOVA (L9). According to data are found,
we get a graph of the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is shown in
Fig-4. The calculated S/N ratio is shown in Table 4.
Fig-4: Main Effects plot of process parameters on tensile
strength for S/N ratio
The ANOVA is one of the most widely used methods for
portioning variability into an identifiable source of variation
and the associated DOF in an experiment. F-test for analyze
the significant effects of the process parameters, which form
quality characteristics. In Table-5 show, the result of
ANOVA analysis of S/N ratio of low carbon steel ASTM
A29.the ANOVA obtained R2

as 96.3 and 85.2%.
The ANOVA revealed the influence of process parameters
with a response. Welding current (A) is the most influencing
parameter (57.25%) and followed by the welding voltage
(V) as (29.05%) and wire speed as 10%. The influence of
parameters such as voltage, current, and wire speed was
analyzed on table-6. It is observed that the process
parameters with the greater S/N ratio will have optimum
quality with less variance.

From the response tables, the optimal condition for Tensile
strength as the welding current (A3) is a dominant parameter
on the tested specimens, followed by welding voltage (V1)
and wire speed (S1). The ranking of the parameters is shown
in Table 6. This refers the optimal condition of Tensile
strength as V1A3S1.

4.2 ANOVA of Hardness
Fig-5: Effects of process parameter on hardness S/N ratio
From Fig. 5 it was observed that the welding voltage (20
volts), welding current (215 amp), and wire speed (2.2)
gives an optimal Hardness. We know that the S/N ratio for
each parameter was determined by averaging the S/N ratios
at the corresponding level. The effect of parameters such as
welding voltage, welding current, and wire speed was
analyzed on Table-4. It is observed that the process
parameters with the greatest S/N ratio have optimum quality
with less variance.
The ANOVA obtained R2
and Radj

as 99.3 and 97.2%. The
ANOVA revealed the influence of process parameters with
a response. Welding current (A) is the most influencing
parameter (48.14%) and followed by the welding voltage
(V) as (34.78%) and wire speed as 16.12%.

From response table, we can predict that the wire speed is a
dominant parameter on the tested specimens, followed by
welding voltage and welding current. The ranking of the
parameters is shown in Table 8. From the response tables,
the optimal condition for Tensile strength as the welding
current (A2) is a dominant parameter on the tested
specimens, followed by welding voltage (V1) and wire
speed (S1). This refers the optimal condition of the
Hardness as V1A2S1.

4.3 Multiple Linear Regression Models:
Multiple linear regression equations were developing a
relation between the process variables and response. The
value of regression coefficient R2
(0.963) is in good
agreement with the adjusted R2
(0.852) for the Tensile
strength of the ASTM A29. R2
(0.993) is in good agreement
with the adjusted R2
(0.972) for the Hardness of the ASTM
A29. Considering that both values are close to unity, this
model gives a good result between the independent
parameters and responses.
The regression equation developed for the surface roughness
of the Tensile strength is as follows:
TS = 696 + 10.7 v - 3.05 A + 34.7 S ----- (1)
The regression equation developed for the Hardness of
ASTM A29 is as follows:
HS = 276 + 6.62 v - 1.47 A + 28.1 S ---- (2)
We can predict from Equations. (1) & (2) that the Welding
Current (A) plays a greater role on Tensile and Hardness,
followed by welding voltage (V) and wire speed (S). The
coefficient associated with welding current (A) is negative,
thus indicating that the Tensile and hardness as decreases
with increasing welding current. Conversely, the Tensile and
hardness increase with increasing welding voltage and wire
speed because the coefficients of these factors are positive.
Wire speed has a greater effect on Tensile and hardness as
compared with other parameters according to its coefficient
value in the welding of MIG.
4.4 Confirmation Test
The confirmation test is the last step in the experiment. The
confirmation test is shown in Table 9.

The % of error determined with ratio of the difference of
actual and predicted to actual once. As shown in Table 9,
the % of error less than (±5%) which is significant.
5. CONCLUSIONS
The investigation results show that
1. The Welding Current has the greatest influence on
Tensile and Hardness in the Weldability of ASTM A29
followed by welding voltage and wire speed.
2. The optimal conditional for Tensile strength as the
welding current (250) is a dominant parameter on the
tested specimens, followed by welding voltage (20) and
wire speed (2.2).
3. The optimal condition of Hardness, such as the welding
voltage (20 volts), welding current (215 amp), and wire
speed (2.2) can be used to achieve better hardness in
ASTM A29.
