Prediction of temperatures and residual stresses during FSW of AA2024 and AA7075 with copper using HYPERWELD software
Abstract: This paper investigates the temperature at different workpiece and tool pin sections. In this investigation, various materials are utilized, for example, AA7050, AA2024, and Copper, for other process parameters. Tool rotational speed, tool tilt angle, and welding speed are process parameters. Thermal distribution results are examined with the assistance of these process parameters. Altair’s Hyper Weld, a preeminent computer-aided engineering (CAE) application for the simulation of friction stir welding, has …

Tribological Performance and Wear Coefficient Prediction of AA2024–TiC Composites via Python-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Determining wear coefficient accurately serves as a critical factor to maximize engineering materials' tribological characteristics. The experiment examines the wear characteristics of TiC-reinforced AA2024 aluminum alloy subjected to different tribological operating conditions. A pin-on-disc tribometer performed wear tests under different conditions of load and TiC weight fraction and sliding speed and duration. ANOVA statistical results show that load intensity and TiC reinforcement density stand out as principal variables that affect …

Analysis of Crashworthiness of a Saloon Car Fitted with CNG Cylinder
Abstract: There is an increase in demand for compressed natural gas vehicles in India. Due to the high gasoline prices and lack of electric vehicle infrastructure in India, compressed natural gas vehicles are the only feasible option. This research work focuses on the crashworthiness of a saloon car fitted with a compressed natural gas cylinder under rear-collision conditions. Four different candidate materials of the same thickness are chosen for the cylinder …
