The welding process commonly used for fabricating tailor-welded blanks of dissimilar thickness for automotive applications is

Two metal parts (a cylinder and a cube) of same volume are cast under identical conditions. The diameter of the cylinder is equal to its height. The ratio of the solidification time of the cube to that of the cylinder is _______________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Assume that solidification time follows Chvorinov's rule with an exponent of 2.

A plate of 30 mm thickness is fed through a rolling mill with two powered rolls. Each roll has a diameter of 500 mm. The plate thickness is to be reduced to 27 mm in a single pass. Assume no change in width. The process feasibility and the maximum draft (in mm) can be represented, respectively, as
Use the coefficient of friction as 0.12

Consider two infinitely long fins made of the same material and exposed to the same convective environment. One fin has a square cross-section of side \(a\), and the other has a circular cross-section of diameter \(d\). Assume \(a = d\). The ratio of the steady-state heat transfer rate from the square fin to that from the circular fin, \(\frac{\dot{Q}_{\text{square}}}{\dot{Q}_{\text{circular}}}\), is:

A cantilever beam of length \(L\) is fixed at the left end (\(x=0\)). It is subjected to a concentrated downward point load \(P\) and a concentrated clockwise moment \(M = \frac{PL}{2}\) at the midpoint (\(x = L/2\)). Which of the following descriptions correctly represents the Shear Force Diagram (SFD) for the beam?

A vibrating system has a critical damping coefficient \(C_c = 350 \, \text{N}\cdot\text{s/m}\) and an actual damping coefficient \(C = 35 \, \text{N}\cdot\text{s/m}\). The logarithmic decrement of the system is approximately:
