A literature review of studies and researches has been attempted in the field of dissimilar metal welding. Dissimilar metal welds have numerous industrial applications in area of thermal power generation, chemical, petrochemical, automobile, aerospace industries and nuclear plants etc. The purpose of this paper is to review: (a) Dissimilar metal welds, their Metallurgical and Mechanical aspects...

The use of laminate composites in structures is under a considerable increase. The advantages of their use are related with a considerable weight reduction and consequent improvement of dynamic characteristics, in the case of aeronautics, automobile, railway and naval industries. Drilling is a widely used technique as it is always needed to assemble components in more complex structures. Drilli...

Taking the early U.S. automobile industry as an example, we evaluate two competing hypotheses on geographic concentration of industry: local externalities versus employee spinoffs. Our findings suggest that both forces contribute to industry agglomeration through their specific channels, and the spinoff effect can be viewed as a special form of local externalities. Calibrating our model to the ...

Empirical validity of the claim that overhead costs are driven not by production volume but by transactions resulting from production complexity is examined using data from 32 manufacturing plants from the electronics, machinery, and automobile components industries. Transactions are measured using number of engineering change orders, number of purchasing and production planning personnel, shop...

The various industries such as automobile industry, aerospace industry, printing industry, and chemical industry operate on job shop system. Job shop scheduling problems are complex and real world. The present work assesses the effect of change in shop utilizations levels on total setups and mean setup time measures. The simulation model of the job shop is developed for investigation purpose. T...

Ever increasing political pressure for a cleaner environment has triggered large research efforts over the past decade within the automobile and solvent industries to develop new, oxygenated, low atmospheric reactivity fuels and solvents, respectively. The main stimulus for the interest in such compounds in Europe is existing or pending legislation demanding the regulation of the reactivity of ...

We present a graphical toolset for verifying AADL models, which are gaining widespread acceptance in aerospace, automobile and avionics industries for comprehensively specifying safety-critical systems by capturing functional, probabilistic and hybrid aspects. Analyses are implemented on top of mature model checking tools and range from requirements validation to functional verification, safety...

background: automobile manufacturing industries are considered among the main sites where accidents are likely to happen. from a cognitive point of view, stress can cause problems such as poor concentration, absent-mindedness, and hesitancy while making decisions. this study examines the relationship between job stress and occupational accidents in an automobile manufacturing company. methods: ...
