Introduction
Give a brief description of the motivation and usefulness of your project [1].
Project Objectives
Here you should briefly write the aim of the project for example optimization of parameters,
minimization of residual stresses and distortion etc etc [2].
Project Methodologies
Here write down the methods and steps carried out in your project. For example you can start with –
The project identifies different thermal tensioning mitigation techniques and predicts the inherent residual
stresses and distortion through finite element analysis [3]. The following steps were carried out during the
implementation of the project:
• Literature review of current state of the art computational models of welding fabrication and mitigation
techniques
• Prediction of thermal gradients developed during fusion welding
• Develop an elasto-plastic numerical model to predict inherent residual stresses and deformation due to
fusion welding and thermal tensioning mitigation techniques
• Identify the optimum parameters leading to minimization of welding distortion
Include any figures related to your project – remember you are trying to catch the eye of the audience
so do not put any figures that do not make sense to the general public (they might be very important to your
project but people cannot visualize what you have done via a graph). You can include as many figures as you
want as long as they are legible and you do not exceed one page in your whole write up. Figures have to be in
grayscale.

Results and Achievements
Give a brief description of the results you have obtained so far – maybe you can give a suggestion as to
which is the best procedure or method leading to successful operation or engineering practice developed from
your project
