The study of torsional rotor is important especially in applications where high power transmission and high speeds are present. The experiments to be conducted, numerical calculations using formula by taking experimental values. The analysis of Torsional vibration of single disc rotor will be done. The result will be validated and the single degree of freedom torsional system would be understood. When the system is allowed to vibrate freely, it is observed that the vibration normally die out gradually over a few cycle of motion. This is because, the energy given to the system initially, is dissipated during the motion. The vibrating system may encounter damping forces of different types like molecular friction, sliding friction and fluid resistance.Item Wear Characteristics Evaluation of Nylon - Aramid 3D Printed Products(2017-10-13T14:10:11Z) Madhusudhan, V; Shiva Kumar, G M; Sunil, S VIn many fields, there is great uncertainty as to whether a new design will actually do what is desired.

Thermal energy is absorbed and released as the working Fluid undergoes expansion and compression and changes phase from liquid to vapor and back, respectively. Semiconductor thermoelectric coolers also known as Peltier coolers offer Several advantages over conventional systems. They are entirely solid-state devices, with no moving parts; this makes them rugged, reliable, and quiet. They use no ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons, potentially offering a more environmentally responsible alternative to conventional refrigeration. They can be extremely compact, much more so than compressor-based systems. Precise temperature control can be achieved with Peltier coolers. However, their efficiency is low compared to conventional refrigerators. Thus they are used in niche applications where their unique advantages outweigh their low efficiency. Although some large-scale applications have been considered Peltier coolers are generally used in applications where small size is needed and the cooling demands are not too great, such as for cooling electronic components.

It is a company engaged 111 the manufacture of precision machined components & machine tools like Rocker arm ,Gear Shifter Forks, Connecting Rods etc .. The project is based on the manufacture of the gear shifter fork. The gear shifter fork is an engine component that helps in synchronization and thus plays an important role in the engine transmission. The shift forks are connected to shift rails by pin joint and these shifter rails are operated by the lever controlled by the driver. In a constant mesh gearbox, shifter forks move the synchronizers which engage the gears to the shafts they ride on. In the manufacturing of the gear shifter fork, an unnecessary operation called Pad Gap elimination is performed as to eliminate a Pad Gap that occurs at the pad face of the shifter fork. Here Pad Gap is nothing but the variation in the height between the main boss face and the pad face. The company employs 4 workers per flow line for performing the manual Pad Gap elimination. As most of the processes in the company are automated, the Pad Gap elimination process is an unnecessary wastage of time, money, men and material. So, the aim of the project is to investigate the reason for Pad Gap and its elimination. The first task of the project was to find, in which stage of manufacture, the Pad Gap is occurring. The reason for the Pad Gap can be the faulty design or in the fixture. So the work study was conducted in different stages of manufacture and trials are conducted after each stage of operation.Item Ergonomic Industrial Seating Support(2017-10-12T14:34:08Z) Sachin, Pamadinni; Puneeth, Kumar M N; Sreevathasa, N; Sachin, PamadinniIn 21st century, there are thousands of Industries all across the globe which are constantly striving on the betterment of their quality and increase their productivity to increase their profits.

Agriculture fertilizer and chemical frequently needed to kill insects and growth of crops. The pesticide affects the nervous system of humans and also leads to disorders in body. The application of pesticides and fertilizers in agricultural areas is of prime importance for crop yields. However, some factors may reduce the yield, or even cause damage (e.g. crop areas not covered in the spraying process, overlapping spraying of crop areas, applying pesticides on the outer edge of the crop). Climatic condition, such as the intensity and direction of the wind while spraying add further complexity to the control problem. In this report, we describe an architecture based on unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) which can be employed to implement a control loop for agricultural applications where UAVs are responsible for spraying chemicals on crops. The process of applying the chemicals is controlled by means of the feedback obtained from the wireless sensor network (WSN) deployed on the crop field. . A remote controlled UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is used to spray the Pesticide as well as fertilizer to avoid the humans from pesticide poison. The UAV is operated by manual flight plans and the Sprayer is manually triggered by RF controlled Nozzle. The aim of this solution is to support short delays in the control loop so that the spraying UAV can process the information from the sensors. We evaluate an algorithm to adjust the UAV route under changes in wind intensity and direction. Moreover, we evaluate the impact of the number of communication messages between the UAV and minimize the waste of pesticides.Item Study of Mechanical Properties on A1- 7075 reinforced with Tungsten Carbide and E-glass Fiber Hybrid Composite(2017-10-12T14:12:48Z) Musaveer; Bharath C; Mahamed, WajidMetal matrix composites (MMC) have received considerable attention due to their excellent engineering properties.
