Analysis of Friction Stir Welding Tool Offset on the Bonding and Properties of Al-Mg-Si Alloy T-Joints.

Research on T-configuration aluminum constructions effectively decreases fuel consumption, increases strength, and develops aerial structures. In this research, the effects of friction stir welding (FSW) tool offset (TO) on Al-Mg-Si alloy mixing and bonding in T-configurations is studied. The process is simulated by the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) technique to better understand the material mixing flow and the bonding between the skin and flange during FSW.

Monitoring of the human body and brain behavior using optical motion capture system and EEG utilizing horseback riding simulator: an extended case study.

[Purpose] Hippotherapy is an unusual type of treatment and has been found to be effective for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and rehabilitation. Horseback riding simulator is used as a beneficial alternative to the real horse with utilizing an optical motion capture system and EEG. [Participants and Methods] The idea is to monitor body and brain behaviour of the professional rider and non-professional rider utilizing a horse simulator, using optical motion capture system to identify differences in pelvic region activity between professional and non-professional riders and EEG to investigate the brain effect of professional rider utilizing horseback riding simulator.
