In this study, using Harfang Code 32 device, the slag catcher pipelines in one of the South Pars phases
were tested. In radiography method of these lines, no clear defect was observed in radiographic films due
to the high thickness of 40 mm. However, marvelous results were obtained using advanced ultrasonic.
Review and analysis of the results will result in high potential of three-dimensional ultrasonic method in
identifying defects in pipelines with high thicknesses and preventing financial and life-threatening risks
during the use of these refineries in the future.
A DEEP LEARNING APPROACH FOR DENOISING AIR-COUPLEDULTRASONIC RESPONDS DATAijaia
Ensuring material quality is a central objective in production and manufacturing. Non-contact nondestructive testing methods without the use of coupling media are of particular interest with regard to mechanical or biochemical properties of the material. For this purpose, air-coupled ultrasonic is a useful method for quality control. The challenge is the poor signal-to-noise ratio, which makes it difficult to apply the classical approaches. This makes it impossible to distinguish between defect structures and noise. We are developing a method for denoising air-coupled ultrasonic data by applying deep neural networks by
using a geometry-analytical component that detects defect structures. During the evaluation we show that we are able to obtain the data almost free of noise, so that incorrectly classified noisy pixels are mainly located at the edges of the defect structures, which cannot be clearly delimited. It is shown that the quality of the data is significantly improved for detection processes.

A Review on Detection of Cracks Present in Composite Cantilever Beam by using...ijtsrd
The aim of this paper is to discuss various techniques used by various researchers for vibration based crack detection in cracked composite structures. In aeronautical, mechanical and civil engineering fields various structural systems are likely to damage and deterioration during their working period. So it is very important to find damage and deterioration in structural member by an effective and reliable methodology. Interest in various damage detection methods has considerably increased in last few decades. A local flexibility is introduced in structural member due to the presence of crack that would affect the vibration response of structure. Due to the presence of crack there is reduction in stiffness of structure and increase in damping of the structure. Since there are changes in physical properties there are reductions in natural frequencies and deviation in mode shapes. Therefore by measuring the vibration parameters it is possible to predict crack depth and crack location in structural member. In this paper effect of various parameters like crack depth, crack location on natural frequency of beam is studied.Presence of crack in a beam decreases the natural frequency which is more pronounced when the crack is near the fixed support and the crack depth is more.

Abstract This paper investigate applications of ultrasonic phased array technique over magnetic particle inspection, gamma rays radiographic and conventional ultrasonic testing applied during manufacturing of Low Pressure Heater (LPH) at a company X located in India. The existing non destructive testing techniques that are being used for detection of defects are compared with the alternative techniques. Most of the non destructive testing techniques are surely cost effective but time consuming this makes the overall stay time, production time and overall cost indulged in process high. By applying ultrasonic phased array technique the maintenance scheduling and incurred cost of maintenance and also the overall operational cost can be reduced remarkably. Keywords: Non destructive testing, maintenance, ultrasonic phased array, radiography.

Magnesium alloys are high potential materials for application in the aerospace and automotive industries
due to their lightweight properties. They can help to lower dead weight and fuel consumption to contribute
to sustainability and efficiency. It is possible to achieve high specific strength and high stiffness of the
alloys by varying compositions of alloying elements. Applications of magnesium are limited due to its low
strength and relatively low stiffness. This research focuses on a recipe of multi component alloys of
magnesium with varied percentages of Mg, Al, Cu, Mn and Zn obtained from literature and optimizes the
percentage compositions to obtain for high specific strength and specific stiffness. Relationships among
percentage constituents of the alloy components are examined in Matlab R2022b using multiple linear
regression. Optimization is achieved using genetic algorithm to determine the specific strengths and
stiffness. The resulting optimal alloy component percentages by weight are used for microstructure
simulation of thermodynamic properties, diffusion and phase transformations of proposed alloy is done in
MatCalc software version 6.04. Results show potential for improved mechanical properties resulting from
disordered structure in the high entropy magnesium alloy. Future research should focus on production and
characterization of the proposed alloy.

Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs), routinely prepared from Ceramic based compositions (typically
8%Y2O3-ZrO2or 8YSZ) are being engineered to protect the metallic components from degradation in
applications like gas turbines, jet and automotive engines. With a goal of finding improved TBC materials
a wide variety of ceramics are being researched worldwide. Before physically preparing the TBCs of
uncommon compositions in the laboratory, their suitability to perform can be predicted. Limited
accessibility to detailed and realistic information on the influence of newer compositions (other than 8YSZ)
on TBCs warrants methods to obtain this information.
In this paper, 8YSZ TBCs coated onto aluminium substratesare studied for thermal fatigue, thermal barrier
and materials characteristics to determine the reliability of the coating configuration to withstand the
harshness of test conditions under the framework of experiments. Thereafter, the results have been used to
corroboratethe developed simulation model. Results obtained via thermal tests confirm the suitability of the
model and we can predict the thermal barrier effects of TBCs when prepared from materials other than

New Experiment System for the Interaction Between Soft Rock and Water : A Cas...msejjournal
The strength of rock strongly depends on the water content especially when the rocks contain clay
materials. The interaction between soft rock and water always threaten the soft rock engineering projects.
For this problem, new sets of laboratory experiment systems are developed to simulate the interaction
between soft rock and water or vapor. In this paper, the principles of experiment systems are introduced
with particular reference to the application on soft rock in Mogao Grottoes, one of the world famous
ancient sites in China. Two kinds of rock samples, the sandstone and muddy sandstone, are obtained by insitu sampling system. Then the laboratory experiments are performed under different environment
conditions. By the specific boundary conditions design, the physical-chemical effect and mechanic effect on
water absorption of rock samples are separated for further mechanism study by the experiment system, and
the different hydrological actions of water and vapor under variable experiment environment are obtained.
The interaction mechanism is discussed with assistant methods, such as SEM (Scanning Electron
Microscope), mercury injection test, X-ray diffraction analysis and etc. With the relation between water
content and soft rock strength, the study may provide guidance and basis for the soft rock engineering in

Modeling, Analyzing and Safety Aspects of Torsion and Noise Effects on Round ...msejjournal
Each material has its own effect and behavior on external impacts like heat, force, tension, compression,
torsion etc. It is important to study and analyze these behaviors before selecting a material for an
engineering application in the design aspects itself. If predicted values analyzed by both mathematical and
software are available it is easy to get the reliable details in the pre design itself. By this one can ensure the
safety of the component and the system also. In this investigation, the effects of torsional loads on mild steel
round shafts with various diameters and lengths have been analyzed. The additional effects like angle of
rotation, rpm and duration also considered to find the optimum predicted value. The data observed by
various experiments are analyzed by design of experiments especially by response surface methodology.
Minitab software is used for canalization. The data are tabulated and kept for future reference. Noise effect
due to the gradual torsional load performed in the gear box and other rotating components is also studied
for healthy working environment. The nature and characteristics of material also be explained by this noise
analysis.

On Decreasing of Dimensions of Field-Effect Transistors with Several Sourcesmsejjournal
We analyzed mass and heat transport during manufacturing field-effect heterotransistors with several
sources to decrease their dimensions. Framework the result of manufacturing it is necessary to manufacture
heterostructure with specific configuration. After that it is necessary to dope required areas of the heterostructure by diffusion or ion implantation to manufacture the required type of conductivity (p or n). After
the doping it is necessary to do optimize annealing. We introduce an analytical approach to prognosis mass

RESULTS OF FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR INTERLAMINAR FRACTURE REINFORCED THERM...msejjournal
The double cantilever beam (DCB) is widely used for fracture toughness testing and it has become popular
for opening-mode (mode I) delamination testing of laminated composites. Delamination is a crack that
forms between the adjacent plies of a composite laminate at the brittle polymer resin. This study was
conducted to emphasize the need for a better understanding of the DCB specimen of different fabric
reinforced systems (carbon fibers) with a thermoplastic matrix (EP, PEI), by using the extended finite
element method (X-FEM). It is well known that in fabric reinforced composites fracture mechanisms
include microcracking in front of the crack tip, fiber bridging and multiple cracking, and both contribute
considerably to the high interlaminar fracture toughness measured. That means, the interlaminar fracture
toughness of a composite is not controlled by a single material parameter, but is a result of a complex
interaction of resin, fiber and interface properties.

Flammability Characteristics of Chemical Treated Woven Hemp Fabricmsejjournal
Woven hemp fabric was treated with sodium hydroxide, commercial flame retardant chemical, and
combination of both to increase its fire-retardant properties. Treatments of fire-retardant changed the
properties of woven hemp fabric such as increased its fabric shrinkage and density of fibres which ranges
from 0.67 to 5% and 1.43 to 1.53 g/cm3
respectively. After the treatment, the fire retardancy of the fabric
increased tremendously which was observed by the burning, thermogravimetry and limiting oxygen index
tests. Some of the samples were not burnt when exposed to flame source and the burning rate needed to be
measured under exaggeration of flame at longer time. The limiting oxygen index value increased from 18.6
to 51 after the treatments which explained the scenario happened in the burning tests. Nevertheless, its
mechanical properties decreased slightly that ranges from 18 to 32% and 23 to 39% for warp and weft
respectively compared to untreated fibre.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.

1. INTRODUCTION
By industrialization and the spread of the welding process and salient reception of industry, this
process was in public use soon as a special process in the framework of main method of
connecting two or more pieces of metal together, and its major advantages such as economic
advantages and its speed and efficiency caused arrival this technology to more sensitive areas
such as aerospace, refining industry and military industry. In such circumstances, discussion of
quality control found a special place in this process. As far as it caused non-destructive methods
in quality control to enter the field as quickly as possible the ground is free from destructive
methods of analysis available for control eye and welding, regardless of available visual methods
and destructive analysis for controlling welding, and be in public interest of industries. The
success of these techniques caused the non-destructive tests of materials quickly entered in other
manufacturing industries such as casting, rolling and some non-metallic industries, and now these
methods have the unique status in the industry. In the meantime, penetrant testing, magnetic

particle test and Eddy Current test in determining surface defects in welding and industrial
radiography and ultrasound tests to determine the deep flaws in the welds were of most interest.
Development and application of three-dimensional ultrasound waves as an offshoot of the
technology had reached its maturity at the beginning of the twenty-first century. In fact, this
technology made its way into the world of industry in the medicine area in 1980. In the mid-
1980s the piezoelectric composite materials were developed and used in construction of I.P.A
probes with different shapes and designs. In the early 1990s, three-dimensional ultrasonic
technology was introduced as one of modern methods of NDTs in the visual test handbooks and
training manuals for engineers.
The main uses of this technique in the years between 1985 and 1992 were limited to inspection of
pressure vessel nozzles in nuclear industry, large wrought shafts and parts for turbines. New
developments in manufacturing technology of piezo-composites, high-precision machining,
microelectronics, increased computing power (including simulation packages for probe design
and details of the interaction of waves) caused occurrence a revolutionary development in three-
dimensional ultrasonic technologies at the end of the 1990s, and at the same time, the function
solution software were also developed with growing computer capabilities.
2. SHAPING THE WAVES
Using three-dimensional ultrasound waves in non-destructive testing began started because of
having the following general characteristics.
1. Reducing inspection and settings time;
2. Expanding access to inaccessible areas or with difficult access;
3. Removing harmful radiations;
4. Ability to detect cracks in the direction of different depths using a probe placed on a fixed
point.
5. Strong sizing capability for weld inspection carried out on different materials;
6. Finding and showing small cracks due to stress corrosion in turbine parts with complex
geometry.
7. High precision of finding location and direction of critical defects because of the ability to
focus the waves at different depths and move these focus points along different angles.
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In this study, radiography of the slag catcher welds of one of the South Pars phases with API5L-
X65materialswere taken, using X-ray camera with 80 C powers. Considering the thickness of
these foams and also the impossibility of radiography with SWSI technique (due to lack of access
to the inside of pipes), DWDI technique had been used. In the study of radiographic film of this
technique, very vague dots and lines were seen that, according to several experienced
commentators, any of these symptoms was not considered as a flaw or defect.
To achieve more accurate information, a comparison activity for similar foam that access inside
them was still possible, was performed using Harfang Code 32 device. Using three-dimensional
ultrasonic inspection on ten 48.6 cm thick 480 and 500 foams, amazing results were achieved. In
all these foams, imperfections of lack of sidewall fusion / lack of sidewall Root and cracks were

observed. By interpretation results, recorded by Harfang device and their evaluation with special
software to interpret the results, implication of the existence of these defects have been inspected
across sectors.
To observe the above defects and comparing them with data obtained from three-dimensional
ultrasonic method, magnetic particles inspection method has been used. As we can see the
figures, much walls with lack of sidewall fusion imperfection, which been ended to the
longitudinal cracks by spreading them finally. By imaging with a digital camera from the root
area of above foams and measuring shown defect length, it was found that in many cases, the
dimensions of the defect obtained by the three-dimensional ultrasonic method are much more
accurate than radiographic method. Because many of these imperfections the length was smaller
than its true size due to crack growth and its penetration into the interior. But using three-
dimensional ultrasonic method exact size and position of defects were identified. According to
the efficiency of slag catcher unit in the refineries and also being under the pressure of the lines,
existence of such imperfections may have very dangerous results to life and property that, there
were no possibilities to identify them in any way without the use of three-dimensional ultrasonic.

3. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
Developments of inspection methods by three-dimensional ultrasonic technology have higher
speed and accuracy compared to conventional non-destructive testing methods such as
radiography and ultrasonic; its reasons can be summarized as follows:
1. The use of echo pulse in three-dimensional ultrasonic method similar to a conventional
ultrasonic.
2. Using a powerful imaging tool.
3. Drawing two-dimensional and three-dimensional data using various scanning and probe
movement.
4. If the employer needs, provides the possibility of implementation of a few meters of inspection
to detect flaws that their discovery and inspection is difficult.
5. Precise drawing of imperfection location.
6. Very high quality Report for the customer or client representatives.
