Abstract: This study presents a novel expression for the tendon force associated with residual stresses produced during welding of large, thin sections. A general engineering equation is presented as the combination of a closed-form ...

Abstract: Explicit closed-form expressions for the velocity, depth of ablation front, and penetration of the thermal profile valid up to a Stefan number of 30 (the vast majority of technological materials have a value below 10) and ...

Abstract: This work introduces the “order of magnitude scalingâ€‌ (OMS) technique, which permits for the first time a simple computer implementation of the scaling (or “orderingâ€‌) procedure extensively used in engineering. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic scaling analysis of the point heat source in steady-state on a semi-infinite solid. It is shown that all characteristic values related to an isotherm can be reduced to a dimensionless ...

Abstract: Manufacturing processes involving moving heat sources include additive manufacturing, welding, laser processing (cladding and heat treatment), machining, and grinding. These processes involve high local thermal stresses ...
