Energy Paint Clean and Renewable Sources of Energy for the Future

Heena Syed — 2019-03-12

Sustainable energy has become a need of today's world. The world is getting exhausted and polluted by using the non-renewable resources, and the pollution has driven the planet to a point of desperate measures to bring down global warming. The solution called "ENERGY PAINT” for self-sustainability can be a breakthrough to a much more sustainable form of energy generation for the future. A new concept of combining a new material along with the normal paints can help us to generate a cleaner fuel called hydrogen. The absorption properties of this new material can revolutionize the method of producing hydrogen as fuel from the buildings around us. This technology can increase the efficiency of the solar panels by painting the energy paints on them. A structure can be transformed into an energy producing structure. Energy paints can be affordable method for every common man to produce energy for sustainability and a better future.

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Connecting Rod using Metal Matrix Composites

Y. Seetharama Rao — 2019-02-15

The main objective of this work is to focus on modelling and analysis of connecting rod by
varying material with same geometry. Many works are carried out by using alloys in the
analysis of connecting rod such as aluminium, forged steel and titanium. The material for the
connecting rod used here is Aluminium Reinforced with Boron Carbide Metal matrix
composite. The solid model of connecting rod is created in CATIA V5. The static and
dynamic analysis are performed by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to determine the
parameters for connecting rod like von Mises stress, deformation and natural frequency’s.
The weight of the connecting rod is to be optimized, i.e., by changing the material. The
simulation results are validated with the theoretical results. From the results, it is concluded
that weight, stress and deformation of the connecting rod is reduced by 37.123%, 8.40%, and
50.03% by using the composite material. From the analysis compared to the conventional
material, Aluminium Reinforced with Boron carbide MMC connecting rod have less weight,
stress and deformation. Aluminium Reinforced with Boron Carbide Metal matrix composite
material is selected as the most suitable material for connecting rod.

Design of Automatic Scissor Cutter

G. Subash — 2019-04-10

In the study, a new automatic scissor is designated, with a motor based and solenoid setup along with the cutter part, holder can be provided. When the button operates, the scissor will work automatically. By using this type of scissor, we may reduce manual power, time reduction and easily opera able. It is efficient and effective fortunately it is less cost and easy to operate by manually. So, to overcome the man power cutting, cutting is high rate can be possible. There are either two methods to proceed the operation of the scissor. One of the mechanisms is motor based process, in which reverse mechanism of engine can be done. The another solenoid setup can activates by supplying the current, the copper coil in the solenoid to produce magnetic field which can absorb by iron piece so reciprocating motion is obtained. It can easily operate. Scissor plays an essential role in our routine life. They have been parted as many application in our day to day life. Scissor are used to cut material such as clothes, papers sheets, leathers etc. They are the equipment’s which have vast applications and these can be able to operate easily. Scissors are equipped with sharp edges along with the safer handle. They are made up of stainless steel and proper hold able handle.

Design and Analysis of Composite Drive Shaft by using Finite Element Method

SK. Jakeer Hussain — 2019-03-28

An automotive composite drive shafts offer the potential of lighter and longer life drive train with higher critical speed. This paper deals with analysis of composite drive shaft by using FE approach. Static and modeling analysis has been carried out using Finite Element software. Investigation has been carried out in terms of weight and stress minimization, effects of fibers winding angle and layers stacking sequence on the critical speed. These results are compared with the analytical solutions and experimental values. Attempt has been made to simulate the FE results, which helps to design the composite drive shaft for optimum conditions and for better performance. Maximum stresses and deflections have been compared with different materials and investigated for good fiber orientations and for best suitable material for shaft instead of steel.
