For the repair of a crack in thin aluminium sheets, polymer composite patching is one of the better repair techniques. During service, when the load acts, the patch separates from the substrate due to the stresses developed at the interface. This separation of the patch from the substrate largely depends on the geometrical factors of the patch, i.e. length, width and thickness. The optimum geometrical factors need to be incorporated for the effective and economical repair of the cracks. In this work, the optimum combination of the geometrical factors, i.e. length, width and thickness of the polymer composite patch, is obtained using the Taguchi technique with the help of the results generated in the numerical analyses.

Cu-Zn-Al is one of the prospective shape memory alloys due to its promisingly good shape memory effect (SME), obtainable at a lower price through an easier fabrication process. Several hindrances that lower the SME of the Cu-Zn-Al can be improved by applying modified quenching methods and media. This study comprehensively studied the effects of quenching methods and media on Cu-28Zn- 2.5Al wt.% alloy. The alloy was fabricated by gravity casting and homogenized at 850 °C for 2 h. It was then betatized at 850 °C for 30 minutes and subsequently quenched using two different methods: direct quenching (DQ) and up quenching (UQ) with two different cooling media: water + dry ice (WD) and saltwater + dry ice (SD). Several characterizations to determine the material properties, such as morphology, structure, and hardness, were held, and additional semi-empirical bending tests were also conducted to determine the SME performance. The results showed that all quenched samples consisted of βʹ martensite [M18R] and retained α [A1] after quenching, regardless of the quenching method and cooling media. Upon analysis, the quenching with UQ method in SD media was found to be the most effective quenching process, as the method yields in an alloy with the highest SME performance. The pathway for achieving a high SME performance of Cu-Zn-Al alloy was thoroughly discussed in the article.

During the process of fault diagnosis for automated machinery, support vector machines is one of the suitable choices to categorize multiple faults for machinery. Regardless of the volume of sampling data, support vector machines can handle a high number of input features. It was learned that support vector machines could only sense binary fault classification (such as faulty or healthy). However, the classification accuracy was found to be lower when using support vector machines to diagnose multi-bearing faults classifications. This is because the multiple classification problem will be reduced into several sub-problems of binary classification when support vector machines adapt to multi-bearing faults classifications. From there, many contradictory results will occur from every support vector machine model. In order to solve the situation, the combination of Support Vector Machines and Bayes’ Theorem is introduced to every single support vector machine model to overcome the conflicting results. This method will also increase classification accuracy. The proposed Support Vector Machines - Bayes’ Theorem method has resulted in an increase in the accuracy of the fault diagnosis model. The analysis result has shown an accuracy from 72% to 95%. It proved that Support Vector Machines - Bayes’ Theorem continuously eliminates and refines conflicting results from the original support vector machine model. Compared to the existing support vector machine, the proposed Support Vector Machines - Bayes’ Theorem has proven its effectiveness in diagnosing the multi-bearing faults problem classification.

The non-homogeneous and anisotropic nature of composites poses challenges during machining, requiring the use of specialized cutting tools. GFRP materials were selected for their excellent elasticity, corrosion resistance, and high strength, making them ideal for applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. In this work, the surface quality of UD-GFRP composite bars during CNC machining in diverse machining conditions (dry, wet, and cryogenic) was investigated while considering the fiber-pullout issue. The UD-EGFRP composite materials have been machined with a polycrystalline diamond tool. The Taguchi-L9 orthogonal-array technique is used to investigate and further analysis. Three independent-variables feed rate, rotational speed or cutting speed, and depth of cut have been taken into account for their optimal design to get better machinability of EGFRP. This study also investigates the delamination criterion in composites and establishes the correlation between its input parameters and output responses. The findings revealed that cryogenic machining led to a notable improvement of 25.21% in surface roughness compared to the other lubrication methods. Also, the reduction from 84 µm to 34 µm in fiber-pullout signifies that cryogenic cooling effectively mitigated the occurrence of fiber-pullout.

A crankshaft is a part of the main engine components and plays a critical role in car performance. The crankshaft component consists of journals, pins, and flange that experience induction hardening treatment to increase their hardness. Hardness case depth represents important hardness criteria achieved by the depth of induction hardening process. This paper aims to evaluate crankshaft hardness quality by analyzing hardness case depth measurement. The control chart shows the results, which presents process stability to indicate abnormal processes. The capability process is also performed to process consideration. Evaluation results show hardness case depth is not at its best performance even though process capability meets product requirements. Affected factors to process stability are manpower, method, material, measurement, machine and environment. Implemented improvements based on the problem root cause to eliminate influenced factors and achieve stable process are delivered.

The quality of the power supplied to the machining center is a key factor in determining the accuracy of the machine’s operation. The precision of the machining center is to ensure that the spindle accuracy is less than 3 microns. This study proposes a digital numerical control system to control the quality of the power supply and control the accuracy of the spindle axis of the machining center to monitor the measurement results in real time. The computer vision system is set up according to the artificial intelligent (AI) technique to recognize human face objects and control the position of the processor respectively on each line. The online measurement system follows the digital numerical control (DNC) system applied at each processing line, measuring product dimensions, measuring conditions for setting up machining tools, and measuring machine coordinates. The system operates fully automatically, eliminating dependence on operator skill, and facilitating operation in control of machining conditions. Improve machining center operator satisfaction. After implementation of the improvement options, total cost down 1.740 USD per year, the monthly repair cost due to broken drill, spindle alignment decreased from $5000 to $3,300 per month. The scrap rate related to the hole size decreased from 0.47% to 0.23% (cost down $35 per month). Downtime for repair reduced from 20 hours per month to 7.5 hours per month (cost down $10 per month). Broken drill rate was reduced from 0.20% to 0.06% (cost down $100 per month).

The study on the machinability of titanium alloys provides new ways to minimize the difficulty levels of machining the alloys due to substantial heat accumulation. To improve machinability, pivotal factors such as heat accumulation and cutting temperature must be regulated. In this study, a turning operation was performed on Ti-6Al-4V and the cutting temperature was reduced by supplying cooled CO2 gas through a vortex tube connected with two nozzles. Variations in cutting force, cutting temperature, and surface roughness with cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut were recorded. Subsequently, responses were compared for single nozzle vortex tube, dry, and compressed air environments at different cutting speeds. Cutting force and surface roughness followed a similar trend which increased with decreasing speed, and increasing feed and depth of cut. The cutting temperature increased with all three variables. The proposed cooling system provided better results in terms of cutting temperature and surface roughness, while a marginally higher cutting force was observed compared to dry cutting

Centrifugal pump is an instrument that is widely used in industry and has become the main driving component. A detection system is often needed to prevent damage to these pumps because they can interfere with the overall system performance. Therefore, this study discussed the development of a fault detection system for two centrifugal pump units, namely the Medium Pressure Oil Pump (MPOP) and the Water Injection Pump (WIP). In detecting the operating conditions of the pump, it was used a residual feature extraction technique in the time domain with a statistical approach. Residual was generated by using three sub-systems of a pumping system. Each sub-system was modeled using an artificial neural network with feedforward-back propagation architecture. Based on the feature values, the classifier was designed to classify pump conditions. Then the proposed fault detection system was applied in a condition monitoring system scheme. The test results (using data from the field) show that the fault detection system has an accuracy of 91.67% for MPOP and 94.8% for WIP cases. Meanwhile, the fault detection system has an accuracy above 99% during online monitoring simulations.

The driving range of an electric vehicle can be increased through an efficient integration of the large battery within the vehicle structure. In this regard, a divided rocker concept from an existing study is investigated, in which the vehicle rocker is divided into two parts by means of a division plane. One part of the rocker remains vehicle sided and enables the attachment of the surrounding vehicle structures, while the other part is functionally integrated into the side frame of the battery housing. In the scope of this paper, several division plane concepts for such a divided rocker are created and analyzed. The crash performance of the modelled division plane concepts is studied on a component level using the side pole crash test as a load case. For the different division planes, a parametric analysis is performed by varying the number of chambers in the rocker profile, the chamber width, mass distribution, individual section thicknesses, the height of the division planes, and the air gap between the vertical surfaces of the division planes. Several crash performance criteria, such as structural deformation, force, and energy absorption, are examined. Among the studied parameters, the number of chambers and mass distribution have notable influences, while individual section thicknesses and the height of the division planes do not have a significant influence on the crash performance. Lastly, stiffer chambers in the battery-sided rocker created by decreasing the chamber width have the strongest effect on crash performance.

In this paper, the effect of using different configurations of absorber plate, including one line finned flat absorber and two lines finned absorber plate, on the thermal performance of a flat plate – double passing solar air heater was investigated experimentally. L- shape fins are soldered on the absorber plate to roughen the absorber plate and generate vortices to enhance the heat transfer between the working fluid (air) and absorber plate to improve the thermal efficiency. The outdoor experimental test was carried out during February and May under the weather conditions of Baghdad city (Longitude 33.3 N and Latitude 44.44 E). The results show that the air temperature is 48 ℃, 47.5 ℃, and 58.5 ℃ at an air velocity of 1.7 m/s for a single line of fins which increased to 52 ℃, 57.5 ℃, and 66 ℃ at air velocity of 0.9 m/s for two lines of fins. The efficiency is increased by 28% for one line of fins and 66% for two lines of fins at an air velocity of 0.9 m/s while increased by 27% for one line of fins and 51% for two lines of fins at an air velocity of 1.7 m/s. The average exergy destruction rate increases by 37.6%, 60.6%, and 68.66% for the absorber plate, working fluid, and glass cover, respectively, for velocity increase from 0.9 m/s to 1.9 m/s. The exergy efficiency increased by 24.1% when the velocity increased from 0.9 m/s to 1.9 m/s.
