In the present research, the effects of spot-welding process parameters on the nugget diameter and electrode penetration depth of spot-welded joints were investigated. To achieve this, a spot-welded joint of three-thin sheet low carbon steels (same thicknesses of 0.8 mm) was simulated as an electerical-thermal-mechanical coupling of 3D finite element model. After validating the finite element s...

Is there a significant difference between modelled and observed amplification of surface trends in the tropical troposphere

background: cutaneous manifestations are commonly observed in the neonatal period. it is important to differentiate physiologic skin lesions from pathologic ones to avoid parents’ concerns. regarding this, the current study aimed to investigate the frequency and localization of salmon patch (sp) and mongolian spot (ms) in iranian newborns to assess the potential relationship between the neonata...

Markets for natural resources and commodities are often oligopolistic. In these markets, production capacities are key for strategic interaction between the oligopolists. We analyze how different market structures influence oligopolistic capacity investments and thereby affect supply, prices and rents in spatial natural resource markets using mathematical programing models. The models comprise ...

The objective of this work is to study the effect of parameters on resistance spot weld of ASS316 material. In order to study the significance of the process parameters i.e. current, electrode force and weld cycles, towards the percentage improvement in material hardness. It is clear from the results that parameters significantly affect both the mean and the variation in the percentage improvem...

in this paper, a model based on gmdh type neural network, is used to predict gas price in the spot market while using oil spot market price, gas spot market price, gas future market price, oil future market price and average temperature of the weather. the results suggest that gmdh neural network model, according to the root mean squared error (rmse) and direction statistics (dstat) statistics ...

The flow field associated with the passage of the turbulent spot in a 3–D duct with streamline divergence under zero pressure gradients was investigated and displayed as contour plots of the velocity perturbation in plan and elevation view of the spot. It suggests that, streamline divergence has no strong effect on the internal structure of the spot and eddies and their propagation in the downs...
