Machining precision components involves challenging distortion issues that entail high costs
and material and energy waste to the industry. In parallel, advanced control of production …

The technique of assembly by shrink fit is increasingly used today. However, the
methodology of parts sizing has not changed in 50 years. Assembled parts are assumed to …

Finite element models were established to simulate the quenching processes of aluminum
alloy 2024 blocks under different quenching conditions. The surface cooling curves of …

The assembly technique by shrink fit is increasingly used today because it allows for the
assembly of two pieces without any intermediary part simply by the tightening effect given by …

A circular disc containing a partial ring weld was devised to create high levels of residual
stress in a relatively small specimen. The aim of the study was to utilise the complex residual …

Grinding balls are spherical or cylindrical components used in grinding and milling
operations to reduce the size of particles and achieve a finer product. They are made of high …

Fusion-based joining techniques such as TIG and Laser are used for the high-quality Nitinol
welds. The joining of Nitinol is challenging due to the formation of intermetallic, which results …

Residual stress measurement of shrink‐fitted assemblies was achieved through finite
element simulations and experiments using the deep hole drilling technique. Shrink‐fitted …

In this research, an electron beam (EB) butt-welded P91 steel plate (~ 9 mm thick) is
selected to measure longitudinal residual stresses (acting in the welding direction) using a …

The work described in this thesis considers the application of thermoelastic stress analysis
(TSA) to the assessment of residual stresses in metallic materials. Residual stresses exist …
