Cutting Ratio Analysis of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer Metal Matrix Composite
-G Hemath Kumar ; H Mohit
Abrasive cut off wheels are commonly used in cutting different types of engineering materials, including both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The parting wheel consists of hard inorganic abrasive held in place by a binder phase or bond. The most common problem faced during abrasive cut-off operation is the premature failure of the cut off wheel due to its low strength. In the present work woven roving type glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin cut off wheels were developed with silicon carbide (120 grit size) as abrasives and the ball mill setup which is made in aluminium and silicon carbide introduced in this project. The reinforcement of glass fibre with epoxy resin provides high strength to the wheel and prevents the premature failure of the parting off wheel. A mild steel die was used for fabrication of the parting off wheel. The developed wheels were used to cut a wide variety of harder materials die steel, copper and aluminium the wear ratio was measured for each material. The glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin parting off wheels were found to have better cutting ratio for cutting of heavy grade materials. The same experiments were conducted using conventional parting off wheel and comparative study was done. Read More...

AC Traction Front End Converter THD Analysis
-Ashutosh Kumar Tiwari ; Anurag Shrivastava
Rectifier locomotives, which used AC power transmission and DC motors, were common, though DC commutators had problems both in starting and at low velocities. Todays advanced electric locomotives use brushless three-phase AC induction motors. These polyphase machines are powered from GTO or IGBT-based inverters. The cost of electronic devices in a modern locomotive can be up to 50% of the cost of the vehicle. Also they introduce harmonics due to use of diode rectifier for converting AC to DC, which further get injected inside the line of locos. To reduce these harmonics in a context of limited switching frequency, as it is the case in railway traction applications, due to the relatively high transferred power and the necessity to limit power losses, two are the main solutions used for increasing input catenary current harmonic quality (and power): parallel association of several converters or using multilevel NPC topologies. Here two AC traction front-end converter topologies are compared theoretically based on 3 different aspects: hardware requirements, modulation technique necessities and current harmonic quality. This research has been mainly focused in the third aspect, catenary current quality, which is considered as the most important. Consequently current quality has been analyzed in detail and validated in simulation and experimentally by means of various physical converter prototypes. The complete model is simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results are analyzed to see that the system works as required. Read More...

Modified Approach for Secure Routing and Power Awareness in Mobile Ad Hoc Network
-Anuj Saharan ; Gajendra Sujediya
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) show better and valuable performance in the circumstances where the generally used wireless networks fail to work. In order to make routing in MANETs secure, number of security based routing protocols have been proposed in the literature but none of them is compliant with the MANETs requirement of security and low power consumption. The monitoring operation is distributed among a few set of nodes called monitor nodes. The set of monitor nodes is selected sporadically which makes the proposed method adaptable to the two important concerns of MANETs: dynamic network topology and energy constraint devices. The proposed method detects malicious packet dropping and packet modification attacks. This algorithm has also been developed to reduce the packet dropping attack in MANET which has been simulated on MATLAB and demonstrated an increase in packet delivery ratio, throughput while decrease in average end to end packet delay.

Combined Use of Non-Destructive Tests for Assessment of Strength of Concrete in Structure
-Arjun Singh Chauhan ; Dr. J. N Vyas
Results of an experimental investigation on the effects of concrete materials-, mix- and workmanship-related variables, on the Rebound Number and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of concrete, are presented. The investigations aimed at developing a method of combined use of both the non-destructive tests for assessment of strength of concrete with greater accuracy. Workmanship variables included different lengths of moist curing, incomplete compaction and intentionally induced flaws. Rebound Hammer readings increased with the compressive strength of concrete. Ultrasonic pulse velocity values were greatly influenced by the cements and aggregate, extent of moist curing and presence of flaws and voids in concrete, more than their influence on the measured strengths. This demonstrates the limitation of using ultrasonic pulse velocity tests for estimating compressive strength of concrete.IS: 13311 advocates combined use of Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and Rebound Hammer tests for assessment of concrete strength in structures with greater reliability. However, the approach is qualitative. Adopting such an approach in a quantitative manner, multiple regressions of both Rebound Numbers and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity on compressive strength of concrete, led to a series of graphs for better assessment of strength.

Android Based Advanced Attendance System using Local Wireless Network
-Samiksha singh ; Mrs. Pallavi Dixit
Marking attendance in any organization used to be troublesome due to use of pen and paper scheme. In past few years, organizations have switched to a new technology termed as "Biometrics" for attendance. Though biometrics has made possible to save and process attendance records digitally along with a significant advantage of avoiding proxy signatures, it allows only a single person to punch attendance at a time. As the office opens, due to rush of employees and limited number of biometric devices, a lot of time can get consumed. In this project, we emphasize on eliminating the problem mentioned above. We are using smart phone devices of individuals so that many employees can mark their attendance simultaneously. We make use of wireless network for connecting server and employees smart-phones. This system has many benefits such as time efficiency, simplicity and secure authentication. The additional feature of this system are that the availability of the employee can be tracked throughout the working hours, as we are using local area network. Read More...

Experimental Study of Bituminous Mix by Adding Waste Polythene
-Yogesh Duddi ; Er V. S. Saggu
Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together, laid down in layers and then compacted. Under normal circumstances, conventional bituminous pavements if designed and executed properly perform quite satisfactorily but the performance of bituminous mixes is very poor under various situations. Today’s asphaltic concrete pavements are expected to perform better as they are experiencing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been experienced in the past. In addition, the performance of bituminous pavements is found to be very poor in moisture induced situations. In the present study waste polyethylene which has been easily obtained are used, in dry form with the aggregates like a fiber in a bituminous mix. A comparative study is carried out between standard bitumen concrete and polyethylene modified bitumen concrete with varying polyethylene contents 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% with bitumen binder 80/100 grade bitumen. Fly ash is used as mineral filler material. Waste polyethylene used as a modifier for the bituminous mixes for sustainable management of plastic waste as well as for improvement of bituminous mix. Using Marshall Method of mix design the optimum polyethylene content have been determine of the different type of the mix. Read More...

Distributed Power Flow Controller for Power System Oscillation Damping
-Aditya Sanjay Raut ; C. R. Gowder
This technique presents a brand new element inside the Flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS); family, known as distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC comes from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC). The DPFC are often thought of as a UPFC with associate eliminated common dc link. The active power exchange between the shunt and series converters that is thru the common dc link within the UPFC is currently through the transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. The DPFC employs the distributed FACTS (D-FACTS) construct that is to use multiple small-size single-phase devices rather than the one large-size three-phase series converter within the UPFC. The massive range of series converters provides redundancy, thereby increasing the system dependableness. Because the D-FACTS converters area unit single-phase and floating with regard to the bottom, there is no high-voltage isolation needed between the phases. Consequently, the price of the DPFC system is not up to the UPFC. The DPFC has a similar management capability because the UPFC, that includes the adjustment of transmission line resistance, the transmission angle, and therefore the bus voltage. The principle and analysis of the DPFC area unit conferred during this work and therefore the corresponding experimental results that area unit disbursed in MATLAB simulink. The DPFC controller style in MATLAB Simulink and tested with unbalanced loading condition cable. The simulation results shows that the DPFC improve the system performance throughout unbalance loading conditions. Read More...

-K. Mamatha ; P. Murali; K. Sures; N. Mathiyazhagan
In the present study, an attempt was made to isolate efficient PHA producing bacteria from municipality sludge soil sources. The obtained E. coli isolates have the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) within their cells. The PHA producing colonies were given dark blue colored colonies as positive for polyhydroxyalkanoates production and secondarily confirmed by light orange color colonies on selective media shows positive for polyhydroxyalkanoates. The amount of PHA accumulated in E. coli indicating a growth-related production where the final amount of PHA obtained depended on maximum biomass produced. The maximum PHA production (27.1mg/L) was recorded at 96 h cultivation in the medium using 8% phosphate in E. coli as co-nutritional source. The intensity of the methylene band near 2966 cm-1, provided additional information for PHA characterization in the FTIR analysis. In NMR analysis, 2-5mg of the copolymer sample is dissolved in deuteriated chloroform (CD Cl3) (1.0ml) and high resolution H-NMR spectrum is recorded on a NMR spectrometer. The 1H NMR spectra of the samples and the standard are almost identical, conferring that extracted intracellular compounds are polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Further the presence of phosphate could directly serve as an inexpensive nutrient source for production of biodegradable plastic PHA. Read More...

Grid Integration of Hybrid Generation for an Alternative Energy Power System with Improved Power Quality
-Andrew Faustus.R ; John De Britto.C
As the requirement for energy rises and with the extinction of non-renewable energy resources, consumption of renewable energy resources have been trending. Various sources of renewable energy giving to current energy requirement consist of water, wind, solar energy. As a result, the quick advances of power electronic systems the formation of electricity from wind and photovoltaic energy sources has improved considerably. The act of the wind/PV hybrid system is considered under distinct grid perturbation conditions in this study. In this paper, the act of the wind/PV hybrid system is considered under different grid perturbation conditions. Based on the level solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) dynamic model for optimization method was used to establish the maximum electrical efficiency of the grid-connected SOFC to the constraints of fuel consumption factor, stack temperature and output active power. Power quality is one of a major constraint in power system transmission and distribution. This project gives an idea on effective control of PV/Wind hybrid power generation scheme for standalone applications. This system consists of PV/wind hybrid energy system, boost dc-dc converter, a three phase DC to AC converter, PWM controller and nonlinear load. The boost converter can supply power to the load depending on the source of availability. A synthesized AC output voltage is produced by appropriately controlling the switches using PWM technique using average power control to control active and reactive power fed to the load the operating setting of the grid-connected SOFC was obtained by predicting the difficulty considering the power consumed by the air compressor. With the average operating conditions of the maximum efficiency operation obtained at unusual active power output levels, a hierarchical load tracking control scheme for the grid-connected SOFC was proposed to appreciate the maximum electrical efficiency utility with the load high temperature bounded. Generation and utilization of electricity will be takes place at reasonable cost. This proposed concept deals with the generation of electricity by using two sources which combines which leads to create electricity with reasonable cost and lacking damages in the proposed system.

Longitudinal Analysis of U-Shaped Girder Bridge
-Uma Shankar Yaligar ; Chaitanya.G; Bharatambika; Aishwarya; Ahilya
The concept of U-shaped bridge girder is now being increasingly adopted in urban metro rail projects and for replacing old bridges where there is a constraint on vertical clearance. These bridge decks are commonly designed in practice using simplified methods that assume beam action of the webs in the longitudinal direction and similar flexural action of the deck slab in the transverse direction. However, such assumptions can lead to errors. This paper attempts to assess the extent of error in the simplified analysis, by comparing the results with a more rigorous three-dimensional finite element analysis (3DFEA). A typical prototype railway bridge girder has been taken as a case study. The results of the 3DFEA, in terms of load-deflection plots, have been validated by field testing. It is seen that simple beam analysis generally predicts good results, except for some local stress concentrations. Deformation increases as span increases and results are validated with both methods SBM and FEM. Read More...

Finite Element Analysis of the Oldham Coupling by using ANSYS
-Md Asif Arshad ; V K Titariya
Proper alignment for a rotating shaft has been identified long ago as a precondition to safe and trustworthy uses. High noise levels, frequently vibrating device, failure of bearings and lubrication are the types of machine rupture that are the results of the shaft misalignment. To get the sufficient torque and efficient power transfer, proper alignment plays a crucial role. Oldham coupling is one of the couplings which is properly aligned and transfers the power to one another shaft without any physical joint. One of the major advantages of Oldham coupling is that it can use for shafts which are non-coaxial. In this work, a simulation model set up is constructed in a CATIA for a driver and a driven shaft which are connected with each other by Oldham coupling. Proper shaft alignment is done with the help of Oldham coupling alignment and performance readings of ANSYS are leading us to the understanding the efficiency of the power transmission. The objective of this work is to study the performance of the Oldham Coupling using CATIA and ANSYS. In this manner, finite element analysis was performed. It was found that the simulation of Oldham Coupling is too time consuming to be used in everyday engineering work. However, Oldham Coupling can successfully be predicted with simplified models.

Design & Analysis of Cold Thermal Energy Storage
-Tushar Maruti Harde ; Saurabh Jalindar Bhalerao; Shreyas Satish Mehta; Omkar Shantaram Tanpure
In this project, the concept of cold energy storage with flooded tube is discussed. Special attention was paid to the design and analysis of flooded tube. Demands for energy savings and improved energy efficiency are becoming increasing day by day. A very promising possibility is the storage of energy whose main objective is to deliver the cold energy when the system is running on peak load. Cold thermal energy storage by itself is not ultimately an energy savings technology; first of all it is a cost savings technology. By shifting chilling operations to off-peak times, when demand and energy rates are decreased, significant money savings can be realized. Among built environment, buildings are maximum energy intensive consumers of energy and main contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. Maximum demanded energy for buildings is thermal energy because of its thermal energy-consuming appliances such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and domestic hot water (DHW) systems. In order to supply the achieved amount of energy to these appliances, most of the time conventional energy sources are used which are not eco-friendly and hazardous. Read More...

Study of Chronological Development and Design of Transmission Tower
-Durga Prasad Pandey ; Prof. Pankaj Singh
The test procedure and structural behavior are discussed and compared to predictions from alternative methods of analysis. The prototype satisfied primary design objectives for behavior and could offer significant advantages relative to current design practice for power transmission structures. Currently, many resources exist to help designers accurately define and apply transverse loads to power transmission structures. However, there is less guidance available for longitudinal loads such as those applied by broken conductors. Current practice focuses on mitigating the effects of cascade events rather than stopping them altogether. An alternative approach for considering longitudinal loading is discussed that could prevent cascades through the use of the prototype structure that can sustain high loads while undergoing large longitudinal deflections. Such an approach could increase system reliability and security while reducing both initial and life-cycle costs of the power transmission infrastructure. Read More...

A Study on Seismic Response of Multistoried Buildings with Shear Walls and Fluid Viscous Dampers using ETABS
-M Shyam Sundar ; G Madhu Sudhan
Earthquake is the one of the significant disaster that can affect the performance and safety of any RCC building to the highest level possible. Hence there is imminent need to arrest the damage by seismic forces and make the RCC structures to withstand for earthquakes. Many alternate retrofitting techniques have emerged which can alter the response of RCC structures in resisting the seismic forces. Retrofitting the existing structures with dampers or providing shear wall as an integral part of the structure was among them. Dampers have a wide range of advantages like they can be erected in an easy way, cost effective and can be installed in the desired orientation such that the strength and stiffness requirements will be met. The present work deals with comparison of response of RC framed structures with fluid viscous dampers and shear walls. For this study, a reinforced concrete framed building (G + 9) was modeled and analyzed in three parts 1) Model without shear wall and Fluid viscous damper (Base model) 2) Model with shear wall 3) Model with Fluid viscous dampers. The response of the structure for the above conditions have been evaluated using E-Tabs 2015 for seismic forces for different seismic zones. In this study parameters like Lateral displacement, Storey shear and Storey drift have been carefully evaluated and were used to compare the seismic response of RCC structures with fluid viscous dampers and shear walls.

Effect of Addition of Different Types of Fibers and Cementitious Material Replacement on Mechanical Properties of Concrete
-I. Venkat Veer Kamal ; Bimalendu Dash
Concrete exhibits brittle nature it is not strong enough to resist tension. Fibers are used to enhance tensile strength to the concrete. They also increase many engineering properties of concrete. They are very helpful in controlling micro cracks and restricts crack propagation. The critical parameter we need to consider while describing fiber is "Aspect Ratio". It is defined as the ratio of length to diameter of the fiber. Mechanical properties of Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) are very much got affected by the fiber type and its aspect ratio. Fly ash is broadly utilized as predominant alternative for Portland cement in construction sector. At the point when added to concrete, fly ash improves workability, strength, freeze thaw resistance, and reduce permeability. These advantages of fly ash over Portland cement make it a favored material for construction activities. The results clarified that utilization of fly ash in fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) impacts the both physical and mechanical properties of concrete. Read More...
