Abstract: There are lot of plastic materials (PVC) being used in various applications and sometimes it requires knowing the life time of the products used in some critical application. These predictions of service life enable to understand and benchmark product life cycles in the application field. In the present project work we have studied the Thickness, Tensile Strength, Ply adhesion, Dimensional stability of PVC as a function of time with the constant exposure to the plastic product at 70°C for 24 week. The above mentioned properties were studied periodically as zero day sample or base property of the material. The regression analysis was conducted on the above test data and the prediction of the life span of the products was made as per ASTM.

Abstract: Seat structures play a major role in the car passive safety. Due to their adjustment function mechanisms are generally involved in the seat failure mode. With the current evolution of automotive techniques, one of major automotive industry priorities is to decrease the product mass, design quicker and more efficient vehicles, emphasizing on travelling greater distances in short interval of time. For this comfort with safety of passengers is very important, thus the design of the seating system is very important. At the same time, seat rails have to fulfill high quality criteria, there are very strict requirements regarding strength and crash worthiness as the seat rail is regarded as a safety component it transfers forces from the driver / passenger to the car floor structure in case of a crash and they have to provide individual length adjustments possible. Amongst many parts, the seat tracks (upper and lower tracks) carry most of the load on seat structure considering human load. The aim of this project is to optimize an automotive seat track by reducing track thickness and its cost subjecting to static analysis. The adopted design has thickness of seat track as 1.5mm; scope of the present work involves Finite Element Modeling of Seat track assembly using HYPERMESH R 10. Pre-processing steps such as updating of element type, material properties, application of loads and Boundary condition is performed using HYPERMESH. The element type considered for the analysis is SHELL. Processing is carried using ANSYS. The results in the form of stress and displacement are extracted using HYPER VIEW.

Abstract: The suspension of nanoparticles in fluids is called as nanofluids, it has been a subject of intense research these years due to their abnormal thermal characteristics. The enhanced thermal conductivity of these fluids with small-particle concentration was surprising. Micrometer-sized particle-fluid suspensions exhibit no such dramatic enhancement. This difference has led to studies of other modes of heat transfer and efforts to develop a comprehensive theory. Nanofluids are potential heat transfer fluids with enhanced thermophysical properties and heat transfer performance can be applied in many devices for better performances (i.e. energy, heat transfer and other performances). In this paper, a comprehensive literature on the thermal characteristics and applications of nanofluids in the thermal environment are compiled and reviewed.

Abstract: In this experimental study, attempts have been made to model and optimize EDM process parameters of die steel using different electrode shape namely, cylindrical, rectangular, and hexagonal shape based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by using statistical software, Design Expert (DX-6). Four independent input parameters, viz., pulse on time, pulse off time, peak current and tool shape were performed to explore the influence on material removal rate and overcut. The regression equation, and ANOVA was developed using the experimental data and graphs were plotted to investigate the effect of process variables on response characteristics. Multi response optimization was carried out using desirability function in conjunction with RSM to overcome the problem of contradictory responses of single response optimization. From the experimental data of RSM, empirical model were developed and the confirmation experiments were performed, which were found within 95% confidence interval. Optimal setting for multi response characteristics means for both MRR and Overcut are 33.84Amp IP, 10μs Ton, 5.10μs Toff, for the hexagonal shape of electrode.

Abstract: In artificial intelligence, an expert system is a computer system that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert. Expert systems are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, represented primarily as if–then rules rather than through conventional procedural code Robotics welding has been used over the years in some advanced countries like Japan, USA etc to weld but there has been series of problems encountered with the usage of these processes or method. These includes the difficulty of designing suitable software that will enhance robotic welding, the cost and skill required thereby creating a barrier to its usage. Welding operation is joining two metals together. The need arise for how to minimize or eliminate the error encountered when fatigue sets in, due to low efficiency of the local welder. CADD software for welding was developed using Microsoft visual studio package which was used to weld two mild steel plates together automatically, at the same time, it could be used for cylindrical hollow pipes. Therefore, this research work is based on reducing or eliminating such problems by creating a mean of designing a suitable and competent software that can aid robotic welding at a lower cost and above all which can be operated by anybody without the requirement of programming knowledge or any special skill. The result clearly shows that Robotic welding systems are able to operate continuously, provided appropriate maintenance procedures are adhered to. Continuous production line interruptions can be minimized with proper robotic system design. Robotic welding is faster, error free and uniformly welded all through like that of the CADD welding model developed.

Abstract: Road Traffic has been growing with very rapid rate, hence the traffic intensity and volume on the road is high. The present road network is necessary to improve to accommodate the future traffic and to provide the good riding quality. The Parlakhemundi- Mohana road is proposed on cost analysis (basing on Cost- Benefit Ratio method), connecting two numbers state highway starting from parlakhemundi being its (intercept at 52/0 km of SH -4) and terminates at Mohana being its 102/9 km (intercept at 66/0km of SH-17) This road passes through the block head quarter of Rayagada, R.Udayagiri and Mohana connecting the district head quarter at Parlakhemundi. The total length of the road used for widening is up to 5kms length. The Traffic volume survey was also conducted on this road. The analysis of traffic volume data was done by projection up to 10 years. The need for widening of road from single lane to two lanes is justified as per the capacity of road. Based on the data collection toll fixation rates should be adopted for the improvement of the road in future. A method was adopted Cost- Benefit ratio method) which concludes that the road is economically viable for the proposed up gradation and improvements.

Abstract: The paper proposes the use of Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) materials in IC Engines to improve their thermal efficiency. Firstly, thermal analyses are investigated on two conventional (uncoated) single cylinder Petrol Engine models, made of Grey Cast Iron (GRADE ASTM 40) and aluminum silicon alloy. Secondly, thermal analyses are performed on two different specially designed petrol engine models, each of its combustion chambers being coated with two different Thermal Barrier Coating materials namely Perovskite Type Strontium Zirconate and Ruddlesden–Popper structured Barium Lanthanum Titanate BaLn2Ti3O10(BLT); by means of using a commercial code called ANSYS. Finally, the results obtained from all four thermal simulations are compared with each other. The effects of coatings on the efficiency of engines are investigated. Further investigations on these results reveal that there is a considerable reduction in heat loss through combustion chamber when TBCs are used. According to Otto cycle, for an ideal petrol engine the expansion process ought to take place under isentropic conditions (No heat transfer). Engines coated with TBCs restrict heat losses to a maximum extent thereby allowing expansion process to occur in near isentropic conditions. This in turn increases the net available energy. Therefore a raise in thermal efficiency of the engine can be achieved. 3(Associate Professor, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Panimalar Engineering College, India)

Abstract: The paper provides a brief overview of the research areas of heavy machinery through maintenance models. It is not meant to be a complete review of maintenance models but rather as an informative introduction to important maintenance models. The paper is concerned with the basic preventive maintenance policies arising in the context of heavy machinery maintenance. The investigation in this paper relates mainly to develop preventive replacement model and fault tree analysis for the horizontal boring machine and to reduce the down-time of the machine. Simple but practically important preventive maintenance optimization models, which involve age replacement and block replacement, are reviewed in the framework of the expert maintenance policy. The study was carried out in a mechanical workshop of an engineering construction company in a private sector. There are different machines and hand tools such as Bending machine, CNC Profile cutting machine, vertical turning and boring, horizontal turning and Boring, Gear hobbling machine, Lathe machine, Milling Machine, Plano miller, Planner machine, Grinding Machine, Press, Shearing Machine, hammers and area repair shops equipments. Since the concern was on machining of construction equipment so the study was concentrated on Horizontal & Vertical Turing and Boring.
