Abstract: Flywheel stores the energy when supply is greater than the requirement and release energy when requirement is greater than supply. In Present work initially we design different geometry of flywheel like solid, rim, section cut and six spoke flywheel keeping constant mass.Then we calculate various functional value of flywheel like kinetic energy, specific energy stress etc. for respective flywheel. From this comparative study we conclude six spoke flywheel store more kinetic energy then other flywheel. Lastly with the help of ANSYS we calculate Von-Mises Stress & total deformation of flywheel. From ANSYS we conclude all results are valid & permissible range.

Keywords : Flywheel Design, Stress,Kinetic Energy, Ansys.

Abstract: The A value stream includes all activities required to transform a product from raw material into the finished goods. Value Stream Mapping scrutinizes business processes from beginning to end and a visual representation map is drawn of every process involved in the material and information flows. Then a future state map is drawn to show how things should work for best competitive advantage. Value Stream Mapping helps to identify the current flow of material and information in processes for a family of products, highlighting the opportunities for improvement that will most significantly impact the overall production system. Nowadays in a competitive market, companies require small lead time, low costs and high customer service levels. As such companies pay more effort to reduce lead time. Value Stream Mapping (VSM) is the one of the lean manufacturing tool.

Abstract: Beams with shear span to depth ratio (a/d) less than or equal to 2 are considered as deep beams. They have wide applications in pile caps, water tanks, shear walls, corbels etc. Their strength is controlled by shear. Shear failure progress rapidly and hence an undesirable mode of failure. The shear capacity of RC Deep beams are influenced by the shear span to depth ratio and the orientation of stirrups. To enhance the shear strength, alternative shear reinforcement patterns are adopted. Swimmer bars are small inclined bars, whose both ends are bent horizontally and welded to both top and bottom flexural reinforcement. Swimmer bars forming a plane crack interceptor system is effective in carrying shear. In this paper, an experimental investigation on the effectiveness of using swimmer bars as shear reinforcement in RC Deep beams is compared with that of vertical stirrups. Flexural strength is considered for the investigation. Crack pattern, load deflection behavior and failure modes are compared in this study.

Abstract: India's population has skyrocketed to about 122 crores .In such a scenario a high speed train technology for a swift transportation of the ever-increasing population is required .Not only speed is the sole aim but passenger safety, comfort and punctuality in railways is the need of the hour. Indian railways are subjected to regular delays in their railway setup. This comparative study focuses on various already existing high speed train technologies across four major countries of Japan, France , Germany and South Korea. The break-through was made by Japan by introducing Shinkansen (Bullet Trains) followed by the French Train Grande Vitesse. Germany and South Korea too followed the French by introducing Inter City Express and Korea Train Express respectively. Since the development of high-speed train technology in India is still in the beginning phase, the study also analyses its future in India.

Abstract: In spite of having low Compressive and flexural strength, No-fines concrete has properties capable of being used as rigid pavement for low traffic volume roads. Along with the mix proportions and water content to have sufficient bond between the aggregate particles, it is critical to determine what happens to the water once it penetrates the pavement surface. In this paper, an innovative model that can transport water percolated into the pavement has been suggested in this direction. Different combinations of Cement, water and Course aggregate with different maximum size and gradation were adopted for trial mixes to arrive at M20 grade concrete.M20 grade concrete is achieved with a w/c ratio of 0.45, Course aggregate of nominal size 20 mm and with a cement to Course aggregate ratio of 1:4. Its density and flexural strength were observed to be 21 kN/m3and 35 kg/cm2respectively.

Abstract: Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) is one of the performance evaluation methods most common in manufacturing industries. It plays a vital role in improving the efficiency of a manufacturing process which in turn ensures quality, consistency and productivity. In this paper, the authors have designed and implemented a simulation model for OEE computation. The input data needed by the model is derived from XML files generated by the cost optimized production line based on multiple criteria such as (Work In Progress) WIP inventory minimization, idle time minimization and application of Theory of Constraints. Both the crisp model and the fuzzy model based on Mamdani inference system with triangular membership functions are implemented and compared. In the current model fuzzy input variables corresponding to machine down time and machine setup time and the fuzzy output variable corresponding to the availability parameter of OEE are considered. The rule set consists of nine different rules.

Abstract: Soft ground usually possesses low shear strengths and high compressibility. Reinforced earth (RE) wall is constructed on this soft ground have a tendency to fail. In literature stability of this reinforced earth wall is improved by providing geo-grid reinforcement. In the present paper stability analysis of a highway embankment is presented. The proposed highway embankment is provided along the approach on either side of bridge. The maximum height of embankment is 7m and its stability is a concern. In the preset study modeling and stability analysis of the embankment at typical sections is computed using slope/W using Morgenstern price method. Results of lab tests on subgrade and stability results are presented. It is observed that, the stability is improved using geosynthetics provided near slope face and at base. Parametric study is carried out by varying tensile capacity of geo-grid, number of layers and their influence on stability is quantified and presented.

Keywords: soft subgrade, reinforced earth wall, geo-grid reinforcement, factor of safety.

Abstract: In this experimental investigation compressive strength, flexural strength and water absorption of paver block were evaluated by replacing portion of cement with the GGBS (ground ganulated blast furnace slag). Glass fibers were also incorporated along with the GGBS to further enhance the mechanical properties. Different proportions of glass fiber starting from 0.1% to 0.4% by weight of cement in the paver block were added. The optimum fiber content from test results was found to be 0.2% by weight of cement. 10% to 40% by weight of cement was replaced with the GGBS. From the test results obtained the optimum ggbs and glass fiber content were found to be 30% and 0.2% respectively. Cost analysis of paver block was done and was compared with conventional paver block. Keywords: Compressive Strength, Glass Fiber, GGBS, Flexural strength, Paver Block, and Water Absorption.
