Authors | : | A. Muni Tanuja || Anoop Kumar |
Abstract: The product's accuracy and surface finish depends upon the process parameters governing the process conditions. The main objective of this study is to analyse and optimise the metal cutting parameters in turning of AISI-1016 steel. The optimisation of process parameters is done for minimising the surface roughness using Taguchi's technique and Analysis of variance(ANOVA). The different cutting tools coated with different methods, Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) are used to obtain better surface finish. Taguchi's design of Experiments (L9 array) is used and accordingly experiments conducted at different cutting conditions. The four process parameters selected are Cutting Speed (V), Feed (f), Depth of cut (d) and Hardness Ratio between tool and material (h) and optimal value of these process parameters is evaluated and identified the level of importance of these parameters by using ANOVA.

Title | : | Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm for Job Shop Scheduling |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | P.Parvathi Srutha Keerthi |
Abstract: Scheduling, one of the most important decision making process in the operation of manufacturing systems, is defined as a series of activities where it is required to allocate available resources to jobs by determining the exact production schedules for achieving a set of objectives. The dynamic nature of manufacturing systems makes the real life scheduling environment extremely complicated. To ensure the sustainability in this environment, generating effective production schedules in real time is the key in the operational aspect. Job shop scheduling problems (JSSPs) have been studied extensively and most instances of JSSP are NP-hard, which implies that there is no polynomial time algorithm to solve them. As a result, many approximation methods have been explored to find near optimal solutions within reasonable computational efforts. Swarm Intelligence techniques are one of the metaheuristics...........

Title | : | Effect of Cooling Rates on Microstructures and Properties of API X65 Pipeline Steel during Saw |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Manish Kumar Gupta || Dr.Rajneesh Kumar || Dr.M.K.Mohan |
Abstract: The API 5L specification are suitable for use in conveying gases, water or oil under high pressure and at low temperature and also sometimes below Sub-Zero temperature in some cold countries. Apart from high Strength and Weldability, Toughness is much important for such application. In this paper, the formation of Micro-structure in sub-regions of HAZ's that is caused by the Thermal effects of Welding were investigated. The earlier study suggests that a large number of failures of such materials were initiated through the circumferential cracks development in the HAZ's due to Microstructural changes taking place. Present investigation aims at the Microstructural changes and its effect on Mechanical properties like variation in Hardness, Toughness across HAZ's, Weld Metal, and Base Metal............

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Allurkar Baswaraj. S || Dr.M.Sreenivasa Rao |
Abstract: The need for steel recycling from scrap is need of the hour as huge amount of natural resources are saved and also environmental pollution is minimized. In this paper Response Surface Methodology was applied to optimize process parameters for recycling of steel process. Higher strength is demanded in steel as it is used in construction of civil structures, machinery and in other streams of engineering system. The material selected for experimentation was steel rod of 16 mm diameter manufactured by recycled steel scrap. Experiments were conducted in a secondary steel mill. By considering Hardness (Strength) Number as objective function, experimental analysis was carried out. According to Design of Experiments, 46 experiments were conducted. After performing experiments, data is generated, to which Response Surface Methodology is applied and critical analysis is presented for achieving better quality of secondary steel and enhancing the value Hardness Number of steel.

Abstract: Modulus of rigidity is an important property of materials and provides the right selection ,in the design of Engineering components . Conventional determination of the Modulus of rigidity of materials is carried out on torsion testing machine. In the present case a separate jig is prepared and used in UTM for the determination of modulus of rigidity. The results are compared and found to be narrow difference. This technique may be replaced the conventional torsion machine. In this method we may also reduce another equipment cost.

Title | : | The Fluid-Coupled Motion of Micro and Nanoscale Cantilevers |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | T Paramesh |
Abstract: An understanding of the fluid coupled dynamics of micro and nanotechnology has the potential to yield significant advances yet many open and interesting questions remain. As an important example we consider the coupling of two closely spaced cantilevers immersed in a viscous fluid subject to an external driving. While one cantilever is driven to oscillate, the adjacent cantilever is passive. This system is modeled as two simple harmonic oscillators in an array whose motion is coupled through the fluid. Using simplified geometries and the unsteady Stokes equations, an analytical expression is developed that describes the dynamics of the passive cantilever. Full numerical simulations of the fluid-solid interactions that include the precise geometries of interest are performed.............

Authors | : | Dr. Mahesh Mallampati || Dr. Bejagam Naga Raju || Tirumala Krishna.M |
Abstract: Product development teams employ much method's and tool's as they design, test, and manufacturing a new (or improve) product. It is important that the product development team understand how their design and decisions affect manufacture system performances. Having this feedback early in the design processes avoids rework loop's needed to solve problems of manufacturing capacity or cycle time. The team can incorporate this information and associated costs into a design decision problem aimed at choosing the best possible product design. It is clear that the product design, which requires a specific set of manufacturing operations, has a huge impact on the manufacturing cycle time. Reducing manufacturing cycle time has many benefits, including but not limited to lower inventory............
