Abstract: Composite cylinders are high-strength containers made from a mixture of fibre glass or carbon fibers and a plastic resin typically epoxy. A lamina is assumed to be homogeneous and the mechanical behavior is characterized by a set of equivalent or effective moduli and strength properties. In the phenomenological approach, the lamina properties are determined experimentally by conducting tests on a single lamina or a laminate. Once the mechanical properties of the ply are known the initial failure of the ply within a laminate or structure can be predicted by applying an appropriate failure criterion. Failure types are dependent on loading, stacking sequence, and specimen geometry. There are many proposed theories to predict the one-set of failures. Most of failure criteria are based on the stress state in a lamina. The present work aims to determine the effect of diameter-to-thickness ratio 'S' with respect to failure pressure of a four layers, introduction of hoop layers at ends on four layered cylinder and introduction of hoop layers at middle of six layered angle-ply laminated cylinder which is analyzed by using Finite Element software ANSYS. The variation of failure pressure with respect to fiber angles was also presented in this work.

Abstract: Vibrations are found almost everywhere in rotating machines. Vibrations in rotating machinery are commonly the result of mechanical faults including mass unbalance, coupling misalignment, mechanical looseness, and many other causes. Unbalance is the most cause of machine vibration, an unbalanced rotor always cause more vibration and generates excessive force in the bearing area and reduces the life of the machine. In this paper 'Deflected Shape of Shaft' (DSS) of a rotating machine was found for detecting unbalance in its rotating components. The change in deflection shape gives the presence of unbalance in the shaft. Experiment reveals that a significant change in the DSS as an early warning indicator of unbalance in the rotating components. Tests were performed on a machinery fault simulator under various conditions of unbalance. Vibration data in terms of displacement was simultaneously acquired using a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). The rotor shaft displacements were measured at different speeds using FFT at both unbalanced and balanced condition. The experimental frequency spectra were taken for both balanced and unbalanced condition. The presence of unbalance produces a change in the DSS at the rotor running speed and this data was extracted by conducting the experiments. A comparison was then performed with the theoretical calculation and also the vibration data acquired from FFT, at different running speeds. The results of this work provide a new method for detecting machinery unbalance, and offer a simplified approach for on-line fault detection in operating machinery.

Abstract: This paper suggests variable topology method using Dyad technique for synthesizing seven-link planar mechanism for motion between two dead centre positions. The tasks like path generation with prescribed timing and function generation are also dealt with. Numerical examples are provided and are verified. Complex numbers, which readily lend themselves as an ideal tool for modeling linkage members as parts of planar mechanisms, are used for writing displacement equations for dyads.

Abstract: In the recent times, the use of solar energy for the refrigeration purpose has been increasing day by day. Generally, solar used for cooling purpose has proposed many advantageous features in the refrigeration field. The cooling path is basically depends on the amount of solar radiation. The more amount of solar radiation directly increases the C.O.P. of the system. This research paper, the solar cooling is done with the help of an ejector refrigeration system. The exergy analysis is used to determine the various losses. This paper deals with the exergy analysis to identify the losses and optimum conditions for driving such a refrigeration system. This paper also deals with the impact of losses on the performance of the system. To achieve this analysis for energy and exergy is carried out. The exergy analysis of a cycle identifies the performance of each component of the cycle.

Abstract: Optimum machining parameters are of great concern in manufacturing environments, where economy of machining operation plays a key role in competitiveness in the market. The surface finish and material removal rate have been identified as quality and quantity attributes and efforts have been made to bridge the gap between them. The present study highlights the optimization of CNC milling process parameters (i.e Feed Rate, Spindle Speed and Side Step) in order to maximize the material removal rate and to minimize the surface roughness such that these multi-criterions could be fulfilled simultaneously to the expected level. The effect of these selected parameters on the above quality and productivity attributes were investigated using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite design of experiment. The effect of these parameters were also studied for two different profiles (inclined surface and free form 3D profile) and models for MRR and Surface Roughness were predicted for these profiles.

Abstract: This work presents the effect of various wear environments like 20% soil & 80% sand and 40% soil & 60% sand on as received and carburized mild steel sample at different load like 75N, 200N & 375N and at different tempering temperature like 200ºC, 250ºC & 300ºC. The mild steel sample was carburized at 950ºC. The heat treatment after carburization has been acknowledge that at some instant it improving the various properties of mild steel. The mechanical properties and wear behavior of mild steel samples carburized at temperature of 950ºC and tempered at different tempering temperature of 200ºC, 250ºC & 300ºC have been studied and it is observed that the sample with heat treatment improves the hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance of mild steel. For this experiment firstly the mild steel samples are carburized at temperature 950ºC than soaking for two hour and then it is tempered at different temperature range of 200ºC, 250ºC & 300ºC for 1h, 1.5h, 2h. After this the carburized and tempered mild steel samples are subjected for different kind of test such as abrasive wear test at different load like 75N, 200N & 375N, and tensile test. the result of these experiment shows that the carburized and tempered process greatly improve the mechanical and wear properties like hardness, tensile strength and wear resistance and these properties increases with increase in tempering temperature. The aim of these experiments is to examine the effects on mechanical and wear properties for mild steel samples which were carburized and tempered at different temperature and various wear environments.
