Original scientific paper In attempts to increase the production quality and to decrease the production costs in ceramic tile industry almost every phase in the production process needs to be automated. One way of decreasing the production costs is to detect the tiles with defects before the baking process (biscuit tiles). The separated tiles are returned to the input material mixture and the e...

SUMMARY Use and interpretation of wireline lookahead VSP combined with LWD seismic while drilling and LWD sonic log for base of salt prediction, a case study offshore Brasil deep offshore Campos. It aimed to assist drilling decisions by obtaining a more accurate prediction of Base of Salt depth. Setting the 9-5/8" casing point was key from a drilling perspective.

A good turbine casing cooling design should control the thermal stress and maintain a reasonable tip clearance between blade casing. Since inlet temperature has been increased yearly, influence of radiation on become more significant. Therefore, heat transfer characteristics considering effect need to be precisely predicted. In this study, theoretical model is established for describing turbofa...

The antennas installed in mobile devices are small and low-profile compared to wavelength at the operating frequency. In general, horizontal elements short monopole have low radiation resistance. Low resistance requires matching circuit between 50 Ω feed line decreases efficiency. By using characteristic mode, excitation of ground plane improve has been investigated. This paper proposes structu...

In the downhole operation of horizontal Wells, pipe string is subjected to combined action many kinds loads. The may bend sinusoidal or spiral under axial compressive stress, which will also increase friction between and wellbore wall. Because existence friction, milling, salvage, unstuck, sand other construction bring adverse effects. This paper describes characteristics well in fishing, washi...

Electrochemical machining (ECM) is a non-traditional technology that widely used in the manufacturing of key components aviation industry. The current efficiency defined as ratio observed amount dissolved metal to theoretical predicted from Faraday’s law. In ECM, curve relates dissolution rate anode material and density. Accurate measurement basis for shape prediction cathode tool design. Howev...

Improved product quality and production methods, and decreased production costs are important objectives of industries. Welding processes are part of this goal. There are many studies about monitoring and controlling welding process. This work presents a non-intrusive on-line monitoriment system and some algorithms capable of detecting GTAW weld defects. Some experiments were made to simulate w...

NDT is mainly discussed as an engineering technology to detect, classify and size material imperfections, called material defects. Lattice defects and microstructure inhomogeneities like vacancies, dissolved atoms dislocations and precipitations are normally not discussed as defects but they are influence parameters which mainly predict the macroscopic properties, the physical properties as wel...
