  • Development of magnetic pulse crimping process for high-durability connection terminal
    Ji-Yeon Shim, Bong-Yong Kang
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Generally, hand-operated and hydraulic compressors use crimping of connection terminals. However, this equipment often causes compressed defects because non-uniform pressure is applied in the circumferential direction of the terminal during crimping. A defective terminal often leads to fire in electric equipment due to overheating. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new crimping process for manufacturing highly durable terminals. MPC (magnetic pulse crimping) uses uniform electromagnetic pressure by a high magnetic field interaction between coil and terminal. This process uses only electromagnetic pressure for crimping, so the terminal can be crimped without physical contact, thereby producing a highly durable connection..........

  • Free Space Optical Communications Performance Under The Effect of Rain Attenuation in Canada

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Free space optical communication ( FSO) is an optical communication technique that propagates the light in free space. Free space systems are affected through the channel by atmospheric phenomena's like rain, fog and snow which reduce the link performance. In this paper, we study the effect of rain attenuation on FSO performance in Canada using different types of modulations like on-off keying (OOK), pulse-position modulation (16-PPM), and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) The effect of selective combining ( SC) diversity is also included in this study. We evaluated the system performance under three different rain regions in Canada. The results indi-cate that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit-error rate (BER) will severely degrade with a high rain as com-pared to the low rain rate. The BER for DPSK outperforms the other types of modulation schemes that were used in this research. The SC diversity gave a marginal improvement with the increase in link distance.

  • Abstract:

    The requirements for improved stiffness, reliability, fatigue life and increased efficiency involves challenges of developing innovative design solutions. The present work mainly focus on the design of car alloy wheel, where the analytical and FEM analysis approach was implemented to analyze baseline design. Initially static analysis was performed to obtain total deformation, strain and the stress of car alloy wheel. Three Dimensional model was created using CATIA and FE software ANSYS was used for discretization and analysis to obtain expected solution. The results were obtained through linear static analysis in terms of Total deformation while Minimum principal stress, Max Principal stress were found to be nearly equal for both 6 arms wheel and 4 arms wheel and 22.16 % of reduction in weight was observed and hence overall weight of the car alloy wheel was optimized.

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Currently, several methods exist for assessment of the total size of a cooling tower plume, which is created in the space above the evaporation cooling systems. Practically all the available methods, however, allow only qualitative assessment of this size. With the development of moisture recovery systems, there is a need to quantify the cited phenomenon, particularly to allow for assessment of MRE systems. The contribution for this reason discusses the compilation of a simple mathematical model on whose basis the cited quantification may be done. At the same time, it has also been proven that not even one of the methods applied to date can give correct results.

  • Abstract:

    MnGeAs2 and MnGeP2 thin films were deposited on GaAs and Si substrates. For these film samples, room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed from magnetization and resistance measurements and verified from hysteresis in magnetization measurements. Hysteresis as well as anomalous behavior in Hall effect measurements was found in the deposited MnGeAs2 and MnGeP2 films, implying spin polarization of the mobile carriers in the films. The Hall resistance measurements above the ferromagnetic transition temperature showed that the carriers are n-type in MnGeAs2 and p-type in MnGeP2.

The manufacturing of burnt clay bricks using waste materials can minimize the environmental overburden caused by waste deposition on open landfills and would also improve the brick performance at low production cost leading to more sustainable construction. These wastes utilization would not only be economical, but may also help to create a sustainable and pollution free environment. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the waste addition produced from two major crops: sugarcane and rice in clay bricks manufacturing
    Keywords:Clay bricks, Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), Rice husk ash (RHA).

  • Novel Routing Protocol Based on Periodic Route Discovery for Mobile Adhoc Networks
    V.Jai KumarAssociate, Dr.Ch.Balaswamy, T.Gowri Kishore, N.China Babu
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    A group of mobile devices called as nodes, without any centralized network, communicates with each other over multi-hop links is called as an Ad-hoc Network (MANET). The military battle-field scenarios, Post-disaster rescue efforts, sensor networks, and entrepreneurs in a conference are some of the examples of mobile ad-hoc networks. Since there is no infrastructure in the network, the routing should be handled at every node. To improve the life time of network different routing protocols are consider. In present routing protocols of ad hoc networks, routing is an act of moving information from a source to destination in an internetwork.............
    Keywords:Ad hoc network, Route discovery phase, optimum value.

  • Abstract:

    The ability to communicate with others ( verbal or non-verbal) is an essential attribute of human life and we are all of us grappling with communication tasks most of the time we are awake. Only when we are alone and not reading or writing (or listening to radio or watching television) do we, briefly, stop receiving messages from the world of people outside ourselves........

  • Utilization of Waste Plastic in Concrete Towards Sustainable Development: A Review
    Rajat Saxena, Abhishek Jain, Yash Agrawal
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    In the present decade, one of the environmental issues in most regions of world is the existence of large number of bottles made from poly-ethylene terephthalate (PET) and huge quantities of plastic wastes deposited in domestic wastes and landfills. These plastic wastes are adversely effecting the environment and is a topic of serious concern for various concerned authorities. In spite of all efforts made to limit the use of plastic based products, their utility is increasing day by day and thus the amount of plastic waste generated is also increasing day by day. Various attempts were made through experimentation to check the feasibility of plastic waste to be use partially in concrete with respect to various properties of strength, workability, durability and ductility of concrete. This paper is aiming to give a over view of various studies conducted on utility of waste plastic material used in the concrete.
    Keywords:Concrete, plastic waste, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity.

    Mr .Neeladri Bihari Ray, Mr. Manas Ranjan Pati
    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    Supply chain management is a buzzword probably used for the first time by the consultants in the 1980's and later analyzed by the business community. In simple terms supply chain management link all the supply interacting organization in an integrated two way communication system to manage high quality inventory in the most effective and efficient manner. As such supply chain management is a network of facilities and distribution options that perform the function of procurement of material transformation of these materials into intermediate and finished good and finally the distribution of these goods to the end user. The supply chain exists both in the service and manufacturing sector, although the complexity of chain may vary greatly from industry to industry and from firm to firm. Realistic supply chains have multiple end products with shared component, facilities and flows. However the flow of material is not always along a deemed network, various mode of transportation may be considered. Biz.....

    [Abstract] [PDF] [Cite]
  • Abstract:

    After the severe financial meltdown, all the economies are trying to revive their economies by bringing stringent reform programs in order to attract more number of Foreign Direct Investment and promote economic growth. India has been the major recipient of FDI, but recently it suffers from low inflow of FDI due to bold economic legislation and tough regulatory environment. Apart from this, there is large gap between approved and actual FDI on account of lack of co-ordination between Union and state governments, as in case of withdrawal of Mittal and undue delay of Posco, result in degradation of India's goodwill to the foreign investors. Through this article, the author has made an attempt to reveal the current regulatory frame work in India vis-à-vis China..
