About

Mohamad Yazman Yaakub is a specialist in welding engineering and manufacturing technology, with a focused research interest in Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes and robotic welding systems. His work centers on developing predictive models that establish precise correlations between welding parameters and the resulting weld bead geometry across challenging joint configurations and positions. His most notable contribution, "Predicting the GMAW 3F T-Fillet Geometry and Its Welding Parameter" (2012), has garnered 16 citations and demonstrates his pioneering effort in using articulated welding robots to analyze fillet joint behavior in downhill positions using ER70S-6 wire on carbon steel. Building on this foundation, his 2013 study on overhead T-fillet welding (4F position) — a configuration critical to steel structure construction and shipbuilding — further extended his predictive modeling approach to one of the most demanding welding orientations, accumulating 8 citations. Collectively, Yaakub's research provides practical guidance for engineers seeking to optimize robotic GMAW processes, reduce weld defects, and improve structural integrity in industrial applications. His contributions are particularly valuable for the shipbuilding and construction sectors, where precision welding in difficult positions remains a persistent engineering challenge.
