Abstract: Control of the welding process is a very important step in welding automation. Since the welding process is complex and highly nonlinear, it is very difficult to accurately model the process ...

Abstract: Complete solution of the welding control problem involves regulating weld geometry, residual stresses, distortion and weldment metallurgical characteristics. The latter has been largely ignored in ...

Abstract: Polymeric substrates have significant advantages over silicon and glass for use in microfluidics. However, before polymer microfluidic devices can be mass produced, it must be shown that the ...
