Finite element modeling and bending stress analysis of non standard spur geareSAT Journals
Abstract Gears are toothed wheels, transmitting power and motion from one shaft to another by means of successive engagement of teeth. Having a higher degree of reliability, compactness, high velocity ratio and finally able to transmit motion at a very low velocity, gears are gaining importance as the most efficient means for transmitting power. A gearing system is susceptible to problems such as interference, backlash and undercut. The contact portions of tooth profiles that are not conjugate is called interference. Furthermore due to interference and in the absence of undercut, the involute tip or face of the driven gear tends to dig out the non-involute flank of the driver. The response of a spur gear and its wear is an engineering problem that has not been completely overcome yet. With the perspective of overcoming such defects and for increase the efficiency of gearing system, the use of a non-standard spur gear i.e., an asymmetric spur gear having different pressure angles for drive and coast side of the tooth comes into picture. This paper emphasis on the generation of an asymmetric spur gear tooth using modeling software and bending stress at the root of Asymmetric spur gear tooth is estimated by finite element analysis using ANSYS software and results were compared with the standard spur gear tooth. Keywords: Asymmetric spur gear, Bending stress, Finite element method, Pressure angle

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

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.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

ABSTRACT
The interest of data modeling of process parameters in now a days based broadly upon numerical methods
.variations in parametric set can be experimented for finding an optimized or desired value for a output property.
This paper is to expose the experimental design approach to process parameter optimization of spot welding
process for SS202.The objective of this experiment is to investigate the welding parameters performance in
tensile shear failure strength and to optimize the parametric set for highest tensile strength achievable. From the
experimental data achieved, the parametric relation between tensile shear stress and the parameters were found
out using regression analysis .The optimum value for the parameters affecting tensile shear strength also found
out by using soft computing methods like Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithm. There are various types
of parameter that influence the mechanical properties of welding on the spot welding machine where in this
experiment the parameter that will be investigate are weld cycle, squeeze time and weld current , hold time, weld
force and weld current. Here also both optimized values were compared for greatest tensile shear strength value.
Keywords - Genetic Algorithm,Optimization,Regression,Scatterplot,Simulated annealing Algorithm.

INTRODUCTION
Spot welding is one of the versatile resistance
welding process used widely all over the automobile
industries in the world. No filler metal is needed and
the heat required for the weld pool is created by means
of resistance when a high welding current is directed
through the welded workpieces. An electro-conductive
contact surface is created between the workpieces by
pressing them together. Contact is made using the
shape of either the welded surfaces of the workpieces
or the shape of the electrodes. Spot welding is an
economical and primarily method for joining metals
because its speed, precision, efficiency and resulting
cost reductions afforded by automated resistance spot
welding are well documented and accepted, actually in
automotive industry. The method is adaptable to high
speed automation and is under strict cycle times. it is
the resistance of the material to be welded to current
flow that causes a localized heating in the part. The
pressure exerted by the tongs and electrode tips,
through which the current flows, holds the parts to be
welded in intimate contact before, during, and after the
welding current time cycle. The required amount of
time current flows in the joint is determined by
material thickness and type, the amount of current
flowing, and the cross-sectional area of the welding tip
contact surfaces. Water-cooled electrodes made of
alloyed copper are used in spot welding. Electrodes
convey a pressing force to the joint and direct the
welding current to the joint in the appropriate manner.
After welding, the electrodes rapidly cool down the
welded joint. Work stages in spot welding are very fast
and precise, a narrow Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and

low destruction for base metal . The surfaces to be
welded do not usually need to be cleaned before
welding, in addition to which the weld does not usually
require grinding or postheating. The spot welding
process can be easily automated. In the spot welding it
has some parameter to be considered. These
parameters will affect the quality of the welds. The
suitable combination of the spot welding parameter
will produce strong joining and have a good quality of
weld. Here in this research parameters considered were
Electrodeforce (EF), Squeezetime (ST), Weldtime
(WT), Holdtime (HT),Weld current(WC).
In recent days many researchers have done
works on failure mechanisms for different type of spot
weldment and its modeling [1-4].chao[1] worked on
failure mechanism of resistance spot welding subjected
to tensile, shear or combination of tensileshear. He
found that while lap shear sample subjected to shear
(normal) load at the structural level the failure
mechanism at the spot weld is tensile (shear) at the
structural level based on the observed failure
mechanism, stress distribution is assumed and are
related to the far field load from the lap shear and cross
tension sample is 75% of the lap sheared sample based
on classical Von Mises failure theory. The most
intriguing result from his experiment is that while spot
weld in a lap-shear test sample is subjected to a global
shear load the failure mechanism of the weld at the
microstructure level is in fact tensile. On the other
hand, while the spot weld in a cross tension sample is
subjected to normal load. The failure mechanism of the
weld is shear. And, accordingly the failure load
relations are able to explain why cross tension sample

always fails at a lower load than the lap-shear sample
containing similar spot weld. Ferrasse et. al.[2] work,
the failure performance of spot welds have been
experimentally and numerically analyzed for welds in
which the base material is the TRIP (Transformation
induced plasticity steel) 980 sheet. .Dancette et al[3]
investigated on modelling of failure mode of laser
welds in lap-shear specimen of HSLA steel sheets. He
proposed results showed that the laser welds failed in a
ductile necking/shear failure mode and the ductile
failure was initiated at a distance away from the crack
tip near the boundary of the base metal and heat
affected zone. Liang et.al. [4] worked on strength
prediction of sheet tube. Therefore, the reliable
evaluation of their formability/failure behaviour is
important to accurately predict overall crash
performance of vehicles. In his work, the failure
performance of spot welds has been experimentally
and numerically analyzed for welds in TRIP980 sheet
using inverse method based on the standard and
miniature simple tension tests along with the lap-shear
tests. There are also some softcomputing methods also
applied[5-8] , samanta et.al.[5] worked on parametric
optimization using artificial bee colony algorithm,
zhiping et.al.[6] worked on Parametric Optimization
Design of spot welding Aircraft Based on Hybrid
Parallel Multi-objective Tabu Search Algorithm.
Recently, multi-objective optimization techniques are
actively imported to solve constrained problems. The
main idea of this kind of methods is to treat the
constraints as one or several objectives, thus the
constraints and the objective function are optimized
simultaneously. Surry et.al. [7], treated the constrained
optimization problem as a constrained satisfaction
problem when neglecting the objective function and
take it as an unconstrained optimization problem by
ignoring the constraints. Venter et.al. [8] treated all the
constraints as one objective and solved the
optimization as a bi-objective optimization problem by
using a specialized bi-objective particle swarm
optimization algorithm.
This paper represents the experimental and
numerical study upon, Failure in spot weld joints in
SS202 sheet, because of not suitable welding
parameter setup and causes a low strength ,hence the
best design in term of parametric orientations for
maximum tensile shear strength achievable, the best fit
relationship between tensile stress and parameters, so
to obtain optimized design parameter matrix using
regression modeling, for parametric optimization soft
computing methods Simulated Annealing and Genetic
Algorithm were employed.

electrodes are brought together against the metal and
pressure applied before the current is turned on. Next
the current is turned on momentarily. This is followed
by the third, or hold time in which the current is turned
off but the pressure continued. The hold time forges
the metal while it is cooling. Hence welding done in an
effective way.

The amount of heat generated equation 1[1] in
the weld mainly depends on welding current. A slight
increase in welding current rapidly increases the
diameter of the weld, root penetration and therefore
also the strength of the weld. In most resistance
welding machines, welding current is adjusted as a
percentage of the nominal power of the machine.

3.1 simulated annealing and genetic algorithm used
for experiment
Simulated annealing is a popular local search
meta-heuristic used to address discrete and, to a lesser
extent, continuous optimization problems. The key
feature of simulated annealing is that it provides a
means to escape local optima by allowing hill-climbing
moves (i.e., moves which worsen the objective
function value) in hopes of finding a global optimum.
Simulated annealing (SA) is a random-search
technique which exploits an analogy between the way
in which a metal cools and freezes into a minimum
energy crystalline structure (the annealing process) and
the search for a minimum in a more general system; it
forms the basis of an optimization technique for
combinatorial and other problems. SA approaches the
global maximization problem similarly to using a
bouncing ball that can bounce over mountains from
valley to valley. It begins at a high "temperature"
which enables the ball to make very high bounces,
which enables it to bounce over any mountain to
access any valley, given enough bounces. As the
temperature declines the ball cannot bounce so high,
and it can also settle to become trapped in relatively
small ranges of valleys. A generating distribution
generates possible valleys or states to be explored. An
acceptance distribution is also defined, which depends
on the difference between the function value of the
present generated valley to be explored and the last
saved lowest valley. Structure of SA represented as in
Fig. 5.

EXPERIMENTAL DATA ANALYSIS
We have used multiple linear regression(2)
modeling for finding out correlation between welding
parameters and tensile strength value and for finding
out best fit correlation between parameters and tensile
value were used in scatterplots ,as the best fit relation

as y is dependent variable , xi is independent variable
,bi is constant.
Optimization is a process that finds best or
optimal solution of a problem. An optimization
problem can be defined as finding best values for
variables for the objective function while satisfying the
constraints. The optimization problems are centered on
three factors, objective function which is to be
minimized or maximized, set of decision variables that
affect the objective function, A set of constraints that
allow taking certain values to decision variables but
exclude others. Here optimization of parameter done

“population” of possible solutions is formed, and new
solutions are formed by “breeding” the best solutions
from the population’s members to form a new
generation. The population evolves for many
generations; when the algorithm finishes the best
solution is returned. Genetic algorithms are particularly
useful for problems where it is extremely difficult or
impossible to get an exact solution or for difficult
problems where an exact solution may not be required.
Genetic algorithms evaluate the target
function to be optimized at some randomly selected
points of the definition domain. Taking this
information into account, a new set of points (a new
population) is generated. Gradually the points in the
population approach local maxima and minima of the
function .Genetic algorithms can be used when no
information is available about the gradient of the
function at the evaluated points. The function itself
does not need to be continuous or differentiable.
Genetic algorithms can still achieve good results even
in cases in which the function has several local minima
or maxima. These properties of genetic algorithms
have their price: unlike traditional random search, the
function is not examined at a single place, constructing
a possible path to the local maximum or minimum, but
many different places are considered simultaneously.
The function must be calculated for all elements of the
population. The creation of new populations also
requires additional calculations. In this way the
optimum of the function is sought in several directions
simultaneously and many paths to the optimum are
processed in parallel. The calculations required for this
feat are obviously much more extensive than for a
simple random search. Structure of GA as stated
below Fig.6.
