Abstract: The construction industry is the tool through which a society achieves its goal of urban and rural development. Delays inconstruction are the most serious problems which even slow down the national development. It is one of the sectors that provides important ingredient for the development of an economy.It is widely accepted that a project is successful when it is finished on time. Unfortunately, due to many reasons, largenumber of construction projects fails to follow the planned schedule and hence delayed. Construction delay is considered to be one of the recurring problems in the construction industry and it has an adverse effect on project success in terms of time, cost and quality. So, careful study and planning of each and every activity of a construction project becomes important in order to minimise delays. This paper presents the causes of delayoccurring on anongoing bridge construction project with respect to constructionof bridge girders of three spansof a Major bridge across river Sabarmati, Gandhinagar, Gujaratas a case study.

Title | : | A Review Study On Optimisation Of Process Of Wedm And Its Development |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Varinder Khurana || Ankush Batta |
Abstract: Wire-cut Electrical Discharge machining is a non-conventional machining method used to cut hard to machine material, which are difficult to process by conventional processes. The applications of WEDM are in automobiles, aero-space, medical instruments, tool and die industries. Productivity and quality are two important aspects have become great concerns in today's competitive global market. Every production/manufacturing unit mainly focuses on these areas in relation to the process as well as product developed. Since wire-cut EDM has experienced explosive growth in application users demand and need maximum productivity and through-put, increased accuracy, and predictable performance. WEDM is now growing as an important process in various fields. This process is based on the a continuously moving conductive wire acts as an electrode and material is eroded from the work piece by series of discrete sparks between the work piece and wire electrode separated by a thin film of dielectric fluid. The dielectric is continuously fed to the spark zone to flush away the eroded material and it acts as a coolant. This Review Research paper is based on the development and processes of WEDM.

Authors | : | Mr. Rahul R Thavai || Mr. Shishir kumar N Kadam |
Abstract: A biped is a multi-jointed mechanism that performs a human's motions. It seems more difficult to analyze the behavioral character of walking robot due to the complexity of mathematical description. This paper focuses on developing a methodology for deriving an inverse kinematic joint solution of a biped robot. This work aimed to build the lower side, the locomotion part of a biped robot. It couples a design considerations and simplicity of design to provide inverse kinematics analysis of 11 degree-of-freedom (DOF) biped robot. The model used consists of 5-links which are connected through revolute joints. The identical legs have hip joint, knee joints and ankle joint. This paper addresses symbolic formulation for reducing problem in solving univariate polynomial. An effective approach is developed for the solution of inverse kinematics task in analytical form for given end-effector position. This method presents a simple and efficient procedure for finding the joint solution of bipeds.

Title | : | Numerical Solution for the Design of a Traditional Aerospike Nozzle using Method of Characteristics |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Ayub Padania || Sanjay Kumar Sardiwal || D. Harika Chowdary || M.V. Sai Sharath || Sushma Artham |
Abstract: In this paper we develop a computer code which uses the Method of Characteristics and the Stream Function to define the traditional aerospike nozzle contour for isentropic, inviscid, irrotational supersonic flows of any working fluid for any user-defined exit Mach number. The contour obtained is compared to theoretical isentropic area ratios for the selected fluid and desired exit Mach number. The accuracy of the nozzle to produce the desired exit Mach number is also checked. The flow field of the nozzle created by the code is independently checked with the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code ANSYS-FLUENT. ANSYS- FLUENT predictions are used to verify the isentropic flow assumption and that the working fluid reached the user-defined desired exit Mach number. Good agreement in area ratio and exit Mach number is going to be achieved, verifying that the code is accurate.

Authors | : | Suresh Babu.R || Karthikeyan.V || Vignesh Kumar.G |
Abstract: The effective analysis of this study involves the investigation of suitable density and thickness of the materials for the best performance of low temperature thermal insulation in ice coolers. The requirement of energy conservation in ice coolers and to decrease the spoilage of food is essential nowadays. This investigative study is over the ice coolers performing with coconut fibre and polystyrene as insulation materials with different possible thermal conductivities and also about a better a choice of using polyurethane as insulator in ice coolers. In which, the optimised density and thickness of the polyurethane is analysed and the thermal conductivity is found experimentally by Lee's Disk Apparatus from all the three materials namely coconut fibre, polystyrene and polyurethane. It is found that polyurethane of density 95kg/m3 is the best with least thermal conductivity of 0.0195 W/m K. The experimental data is compared with the numerical analysis by which the best density and thickness for the insulating material is found in order to minimize the loss of heat energy in the ice coolers and to increase the melting time of the ice in it.
