Hybrid grids are used for very complex geometries where combination of structured mesh segments joined by zones of unstructured mesh can provide the best approach for discretization of the problem domain. The flexibility gained by combining structured and unstructured mesh segments also provides a facility to improve accuracy of the numerical solutions for field problems of a complicated nature. Figure 6.3 shows an example of this type of computational mesh. 

There is hardly a metal that cannot, or has not, been joined by some welding process. From a practical standpoint, however, the range of alloy systems that may be welded is more restricted. The term weldability specifies the capacity of a metal, or combination of metals, to be welded under fabrication conditions into a suitable stmcture that provides satisfactory service. It is not a precisely defined concept, but encompasses a range of conditions, eg, base- and filler-metal combinations, type of process, procedures, surface conditions, and joint geometries of the base metals (12). A number of tests have been developed to measure weldabiHty. These tests generally are intended to determine the susceptibiHty of welds to cracking. 

The simplest motif with a specific function consists of two a helices joined by a loop region. Two such motifs, each with its own characteristic geometry and amino acid sequence requirements, have been observed as parts of many protein structures (Figure 2.12). 

This means that the sum of the exchange areas associated with a surface in an enclosure must be same as the area of that surface. The principle of the summation rule may be extended to other geometries such as, for example, radiation from a vertical rectangle (area 1) to an adjacent horizontal rectangle (area 2), as shown in Figure 9.40iii, where they are joined to a second horizontal rectangle of the same width (area 3). In effect area 3 is an extension of area 2 but has a different view factor. 

Fig. 5. Mixing in the partitioned pipe mixer, (a) Schematic view of the mixer geometry one element of the mixer is shown, and the mixer comprises several such elements joined together, (b) KAM surfaces in flow bounding regions of regular flow, (c) A and B show examples of experimentally obtained streaklines undeformed streaklines pass through KAM tubes, whereas streaklines in the chaotic region are well mixed. The white arrows indicate the location of a companion streak-tube. (Khakhar, Franjione, and Ottino, 1987 Kusch and Ottino, 1992).

When a butt or miter groove weld joins pipe component ends of unequal wall thickness and one is more than 1V2 times the thickness of the other, end preparation and geometry shall be in accordance with acceptable designs for unequal wall thickness in ASME B16.25 and ASME B16.5. 

Joining of C3 compounds was successfully demonstrated [11] using a cement of Ti carbide basis and hot pressing as method. Such operation can be done with certain geometries and at enormous cost and is only possible in high-tech applications such as in nuclear reactors. For less-demanding applications, gluing with polymer materials is an option.
