The purpose of heat treatment will be to modify the structure of material and relieve the stresses set up in the material. Rejection of Gears is susceptible, after heat treatment process, due to excess distortion. This leads to risk of getting PCD Runout fired owing to its chronicle failure. Analysis...

A numerical study was conducted to find the effect of wrinkle in a metal sheet on its stiffness under tensile, compressive and flexural loading conditions. To define wrinkle of different sizes in model 'wrinkle factor' - ratio of thickness of specimen at wrinkle location to thickness of the specimen...

India is a great country with about 160 million hectares of arable land. It is the second highest producer of agro-products in the world. 40% of its GDP is agriculture based. However, in the recent times, the contribution of agriculture to the GDP and area of arable land has reduced considerably mainly...

Mechatronics is an immerging branch in the present era which deals with mechanical systems, instrumentations and electronic systems. Hydraulic and Pneumatic systems are the vital elements of Mechatronics system. The actuation of hydraulic and pneumatic system can be done using a PLC or a microcontroller....

In present scenario, online monitoring and control of dynamic mechanical systems drives an attention of many researchers. Present paper explores design, development and fabrication of an Electrorheological fluid damper done in laboratory, which can be used as a semi-active variable damping device for...

Sustainability requires diligent use of resources to avoid impairing the environment and addressing factors of scarcity. Recently the life of the products has decreased drastically which has made it necessary to plan for End-of-Life (EOL) options for the product. The design factors for the same need...

In the present work, a hydraulic scissors lift is developed to lift up to 300 kg load at a height of around one meter. This mechanism is specially designed for loading and unloading press tool dies by considering press machine shop where installation of Gantry cranes and use of forklift is not convenient....

The Infrared non-destructive evaluation (IRNDE) is an emerging approach for non-contact inspection of various solid materials such as metals, composites and semiconductors for industrial and research interest. Data processing is an essential step in IRNDE in order to visualize the subsurface defects...

Most of the manufacturing industries produce similar components where the designer has to model similar products again and again which is not only time consuming but also introduces operator fatigue and reduction in the productivity of the designer. Different activities of the CAD division can be automated...

In any combustion process of a fuel there will be always some unburned carbon (soot) generated and some ash carried with the stack gas stream. Soot, ash, and molten ash (slag) will accumulate at the tube banks of the heat exchangers. Some ash will even melt down at the tube surface. The final result...

Analysis of double strap bolted lap joint was carried out using Finite Element Method (FEM). Angle of interfacial pressure distribution between the plates to be joined using preloaded bolted connection has been a debatable point though widely researched. Shigale's Pressure cone approach for the determination...

As the automotive industry is growing at an increasing pace today, there is severe competition and pressure to produce vehicles, which meet the ever increasing expectations of the consumers. The demand for increased vehicular refinement ensures that many manufacturers implement stringent Noise, Vibration...

This review is intended to highlight and discuss the various experimental techniques used to obtain the mechanical behavior of soft tissues at varying strain rates. A variety of techniques used to obtain the mechanical properties of soft tissues and soft materials from low to intermediate and high rates...
