“…Many problems in engineering has been solved by hypothesis testing, such as in generalizing the traditional leakage estimation methods which further quantitatively determine the existence of leaks in pipe line and also optimization in building waterwheels and windmills [13], [14]. The hypothesis testing shows the following results.…”

This study aims to determine the chemical composition and tensile strength of ST60 materials in MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding for the manufacture of electric car cross members and to reveal the effect of the welding technique on the welding results. The material was medium carbon steel with a thickness of 5 mm for each. The welding was done with MIG welding using a single 90-degree V joint with a current of 150 A. The welding techniques were straight, circular, and zigzag. The results showed a significant effect in circular welding with the largest average of 152,314 kg/mm2, while straight welding showed the lowest average tensile strength of 373.793 kg/mm2. The circular welding also had the strength value with the highest tensile strength of 526,107 kg/mm2.

Measuring and Manipulating the Rhine River Branches: Interactions of Theory and Embodied Understanding in Eighteenth Century River Hydraulics

Eighteenth century river hydraulics used both theory and measurement to address problems of flood safety, navigation and defense related to the rivers. In the late eighteenth century the Dutch overseer of the rivers, Christiaan Brunings, integrated hydraulic theory and meteorological practices, which enabled him to design a unique instrument for measuring river flow. The question is whether the unprecedented detail of measurements fits the putative empirical stance in the eighteenth century. The interactions between theory, instrument, measurement, and other knowledge practices are here assessed using experiences in similar measurement practices. I argue that Brunings had theoretical and embodied understanding of hydrodynamics, as he knew how to design an instrument for flow measurement of sufficient accuracy for his purpose in the sociopolitical context of river management.
