Abstract: Reanalysis methods are intended to analyze efficiently structures that are modified due to changes in the design. To find out the changes in the dynamic properties (natural frequency), solving of various simultaneous equations for Eigen values is necessary and is a length, breadth and depth. In this paper, the focus will be on reanalysis of a Cantilever beam. The natural frequency of the Cantilever beam will be calculated using Ansys, FEM (using MAT LAB software) and also using conventional equations of Cantilever Beam. These values are compared using polynomial regression method

Abstract: Internal combustion engines, now a days is the best available reliable source of power for all domestic, large scale industrial and transportation applications. The major issue arises at the efficiency of these engines. The major pollutants are Un Burned Hydro Carbons (UBHC), and Oxides of Nitrogen (Nox) .These are formed due to incomplete combustion of the fuel in combustion chamber of diesel engine. One of the important factors which influence the performance and emission of diesel engine is fuel injection pressure. An experimental study was performed on a light duty direct injection diesel engine............

Abstract: A study of injury severity in pedestrian accidents can help to identify the number of fatalities as a result of motor vehicle-pedestrian collisions associated with different factors. The objective of this research is to develop statistical predictive model for pedestrian fatalities at the Dhaka metropolitan, capital of Bangladesh. This research focuses on the severity of accidents i.e. number of fatalities rather than accidents number, because number of fatalities shows the actual horror of the accidents. The model relates number of fatalities with the best set of explanatory factors as independent variables..........

Abstract: Metro satellite has become as important complex locality near the place Palasuni of Bhubaneswar. As the city of temples, occupied the top position in the recent survey of 100 smart cities, there will be an increase not only economically but also there will be rise in population along with infrastructural works. So there is a substantial possibility of rise in population in Metro Satellite area of Palasuni. With this steady increase of population, there will be more generation of household and domestic sewage. So there is a basic need of construction of a Sewage Treatment Plant with a view of sufficient capacity to treat the sewage. A sewage treatment plant is quite necessary to receive the domestic and household waste and thus removing the materials which creates harms for general public..........

Abstract: Transport system and roads always plays vital role in the development of a city. With virtue of this, TranSystems has been at the forefront for the development and design of Diverging Diamond Network with an option of several open to traffic and number of others under design consideration. There are various considerations for when to choose a DDI and how to prepare an effective design. Considerations like assessing whether it would be very effective under existing conditions, crossover design strategies, pedestrian accommodations, right turn issues, traffic signal operation. DDI can be a very cost effective solutions in retrofit situations due to ability to work with existing bridge structure. DDI proved to be very effective in a situation where majority of the crossroad traffic is approaching or going to the freeway and also proved to be effective in traffic on cross road. Thus it had proved effective in reducing traffic volumes and enhancing quality of accessibility to a larger extent in the present scenario. The project will henceforth provide an overview of various elements of DDI and its design considerations taken into account.

Abstract: In this research, we presented Differential Quadrature Method for solving groundwater flow and advection-dispersion equations in two layered porous media which the layers are separated diagonally. This method was applied to five cases and the results are compared with Modflow and Mt3d solutions. Also, The effect of various parameters on transport process are discussed in all cases. The DQM results show a good agreement with Modflow and Mt3d results regarding selecting fewer grid points. In applying the DQM, the needed mesh size is much smaller than the traditional approaches which reduces computational time and needed less computer storage capacity.

Abstract: Though the components made of composites are produced to their net shape yet they require machining to attain close tolerances and to facilitate their assembly. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites are difficult to machine owing to the non-homogeneity of the constituent materials, fibre pullout, delamination and other problems. The variation of cutting forces is rather large due to the heterogeneous nature of these materials. This leads to tool vibrations and hence poor surface finish. The proper selection of the tool, process parameters and the ability to control the machining forces would result in better tolerances and improved surface finish.............
