Application and Upgrading of On-line Monitoring System for Measurement and Processing of Electric Signals at Arc Stud Welding Process
As the application of on-line monitoring system is shown to be a good solution during monitoring of main welding parameters at different welding processes, this paper describes application and upgrade of on-line monitoring system developed at Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod. Experimental part of the paper shows application of on-line monitoring system during welding of two types of studs with application of activating flux for ATIG process (VS-2E) on the base metal surface. Monitoring of main welding parameters (welding current and voltage) was conducted during welding of studs usually used in steam boiler production (stud diameter: 10 mm), and welding voltage was monitored on the studs (shear stud) of 22 mm diameters used in bridge construction. The goal of monitoring and analyse of main welding parameters is to evaluate the connection of electric arc parameters variations with the presence of activating flux.
On-line monitoring system - an application for monitoring key welding parameters of different welding processes
This paper describes the application of an on-line system for the monitoring, aquisition and processing of key welding parameters. The on-line monitoring system has been succesfully applied in practice to measure key welding parameters for different welding processes. relevant examples of the information that can be obtained from the system during a welding cycle are presented.
Perforated shear connectors
Perforated shear connectors currently used in composite steel and concrete structures are described and evaluated. Modifications of the perforated connector suitable for common use injavascript:confirm_mark(`abe`, `1`); civil and bridge engineering are proposed. The connectors were tested in laboratories of CTU Prague for shear load capacity. Push tests of connectors with 32 mm openings and with 60 mm openings, both in normal and lightweight concrete of different strength characteristics and with different transverse reinforcement, were carried out. The experimental study also dealt with the connector height and parallel arrangement of two connectors and their influence on shear resistance. While extensive tests with static loading were carried out, fatigue tests under repeated loading are still in progress. After statistical evaluation of the experimental results and comparisons with other available data the authors developed reasonable shear resistance formulas for all proposed arrangements.
