In this study, the volumetric heat source in electron beam welding (EBW) is modeled through finite element method taking advantage of ABAQUS software package. Since this welding method is being applied in plates with different thicknesses and also considering that residual stresses reduce the strength of these weldments, the effect of thickness in the distribution and magnitude of residual stresses after welding is studied. Regarding the vast application of Inconel 706 super-alloy in aerospace industries, this material was selected in the current research. In order to validate the finite element model, the obtained results were compared to those of other researchers in this area, and good agreement was observed. The simulation results revealed that increase in the plate thickness leads to increase in the residual stresses. In addition heat treatment in the base metal (before welding) increases the residual stresses significantly.

The effect of the superconducting film thickness on the surface resistance has been investigated. Superconducting YBCO thin films have been grown on MgO substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The dependence of the orientation of YBCO film on thickness has been investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. X-ray diffraction indicated that the film orientation was changed by increasing the film thickness and by changing the substrate temperature. The microwave properties of the films with mixed orientations of a-axis and c-axis will be reported for the applications of microwave devices.

The evaluation of specimen thickness effect of fatigue crack growth life by the simulation of probabilistic fatigue crack growth is presented. In this paper, the material resistance to fatigue crack growth is treated as a spatial stochastic process, which varies randomly on the crack surface. Using the previous experimental data, the non-Gaussian(eventually Weibull, in this report) random fields simulation method is applied. This method is useful to estimate the probability distribution of fatigue crack growth life and the variability due to specimen thickness by simulating material resistance to fatigue crack growth along a crack path.

The cetylpyridium ion-selective electrode were developed by dibenzo-18-crown-6 for auto control of the chemical plants. The effect of content of active material and the membrane thickness on the response characteristics of electrode such as the linear reponse range, the detection limit, and Nemstian slope of the electrod, were studied. The electrode characteristics was better with decreasing the content of active material above the optimum content, but became worse below these. DBP was best as a plasticizer, The effect of the membrane thickness on the electrode characteristics was improved with decreasing the membrane thickness, but below the optimum membrane thickness the electrode exhibited an inverse trend.

This paper presents the thickness effect of hysteresis ring of hysteresis motor using finite element method combined with a vector hysteresis model. From the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field intensity, the magnetization of each ring element is calculated by a vector hysteresis model. The developed torque can be obtained with the vector sum of individual torque of each element on the hysteresis ring. From these calculations, it can be found that the motor torque is not in proportion to the thickness of the ring. As a result, there exists a proper point of thickness and that can be determined using the proposed methoㅇ in this paper.

We investigated the effect of Cr thickness on the electrical properties of triisopropylsilyl pentacene organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) employing suspended source-drain electrode. With Cr thickness of 10 nm, the field-effect mobility, on/off ratio and subthreshold slope were $0.017\;cm^2/Vs$, $8.78\;{\times}\;10^3$ and 10 V/decade, respectively. By increasing the Cr thickness to 100 nm, the fieldeffect mobility was increased to $0.032\;cm^2/Vs$, on/off ratio to $1.12{\times}10^5$ and subthreshold slope to 1 V/decade.

The mechanical behavior of two rectangular plates spot-welded under bending is investigated in detail. The focus of the analysis is to evaluate the effect of thickness of reinforced plates with equivalent thickness. The results of this investigation are compared from detailed finite element analysis and experiments of the plates spot-welded for various parameters, such as aspect ratio, area ratio, and distance ratio of spot-welding points. The study is carried out using the equivalent thickness of the reinforced plates spot-welded.

In this study, the effect of specimen thickness and stress ratio on fatigue crack growth in S45C steel was investigated. Acoustic emission was monitored during the fatigue crack growth test. Both crack closure and AE technique were used in assessing fatigue crack growth behavior. Constant amplitude loading tests were performed on CT type specimen with three different thicknesses and stress ratios. Crack closure was investigated to explain the influence of specimen thickness and stress ratio on the fatigue crack growth in the second growth region. The crack closure effect was decreased with specimen thickness and stress ratio.

The numerical analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication for the ball and roller bearings is performed in order to study the effect of the number of rolling elements and the shaft load on the minimum film thickness. A finite difference method and the Newton-Raphson method are used in the analysis. For a given shaft load, the maximum load of rolling element is determined along with the number of rolling elements. And then the minimum film thickness is calculated for several rolling bearings. The shape of film thickness and the pressure distribution are also studied.
