Abstract:

Brushless DC Motors (BLDCM) are widely used in automated industrial applications like Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machinery, aerospace applications and in the field of robotics.But it still suffers from commutation torque which mainly depends on speed and transient line commutation interval. BLDC MOTOR torque ripple causes increased acoustic noise and undesirable speed fluctuation. This paper presents a new circuit topology and dc link voltage current in the control strategy to keep incoming and outgoing phase currents changing at the same rate during commutation. In this paper dc-dc single ended primary inductor converter (SEPIC) a switch selection circuit are employed in front of inverter. In order to obtain the desired commutation voltage resulting in reduced commutation torque ripple. Compared with simulation result conventional system and proposed method can obtain desired voltage much faster and minimize commutation torque ripple more efficiently.

Abstract:

This research presents a detailed account of map generating, comprehensive coverage, path plotting and scheming, as well as control mechanism for a mobile automation robot comprising of the automated ground cleaning of average to small indoor areas as an application objective. The algorithms put forward are centered upon supervised 2D map of the surrounding which is generated during the training phase and have the capacity to deal successfully with unforeseen obstacles which were not determined on the 2D map. The map is generated using dead reckoning algorithm and then an approach relying on templates is used for controlling execution of the path plan. The capability of the robot to deal with generation of the map, detecting unforeseen obstructions inside the work space and localizing itself in the map is the suggested approach's originality. If unmapped obstructions continually block the planned path, the trajectory tracing control inserts these obstacles in the 2D map..

Abstract:

Software engineering is a field of engineering, for designing and writing programs for computers or other electronic devices. A software engineer, or programmer, writes software (or changes existing software) and compiles software using methods that make it better quality. Is the application of engineering to the design, development, implementation, testingand main tenance of software in a systematic method. Now a days the robotics are also plays an important role in present automation concepts. But we have several challenges in that robots when they are operated in some critical environments. Motion planning and task planning are two fundamental problems in robotics that have been addressed from different perspectives. For resolve this there are Temporal logic based approaches that automatically generate controllers have been shown to be useful for mission level planning of motion, surveillance and navigation, among others. These approaches critically rely on the validity of the environment models used for synthesis. Yet simplifying assumptions are inevitable to reduce complexity and provide mission-level guarantees........

Abstract:

In today's scenario threat of enemies and terrorist attack is increasing. Therefore consideration of blast load in analysis and design is essential. A bomb explosion within or nearby outside the building can cause catastrophic failure of building. Blast loads have, in the recent past, become important service loads for certain categories of structure. An important task in blast resistance design is to make a realistic prediction of blast pressure. The distance of explosion from the structure is an important datum, governing the magnitude and duration of blast loads. In the present study, the RCC frame was analyzed by using conventional code for gravity loads using moment resisting frame. The blast load was calculated using UFC-340-02 (2008) or IS 4991-1968 for 500 kg and 100 Kg TNT at standoff distance of 10m and 30m from face of column at first floor level. The triangular impulse was applied as nodal time history at all front face joints........

Abstract:

The energy performance of buildings is defined by their electrical systems and thermal exchanges through the envelope, mainly by glazing systems. This study evaluates, through computer simulation, the influence of glazing façades in the energy consumption of the air conditioning system of an office building in five Brazilian cities with different climate conditions. A computer model was developed to analyze the influence of window-to-wall ratio, type of glass and façade configuration in the energy need for air conditioning. The results show that the energy performance of the building is highly influenced by the configurations of the façade, mainly by glazed elements. In cold climates, high thermal transmittance of the envelope helps the dissipation of internal heat gains, reducing energy consumption for air conditioning.......

Abstract:

The mechanical design and of a square hole producing tool based on Reuleaux Triangle. The main aim of our papaer is to investigate how the circular motion can be converted into a square motion by purely a mechanical linkages; an application of which is to construct a special tool that drills exact square holes. The geometrical construction that fulfils the laid objective is Reuleaux Triangle . Additionally, for this geometry to work like a rotating drive (such as a drill press) must force the Reuleaux triangle to rotate inside a square, and that requires a square guide to constrain the Reuleaux triangle as well as a special coupling to describe the fact that the center of rotation also in moves within in the constrain. The practical importance of this enhancement is that the driving end can be placed in a standard drill press; the other end is restricted to stay inside the fixed square, will yield a perfectly square locus and this can be turned into a working square-to drill hole.
