Abstract

The objective of this research work is to find the optimal set of process parameters to produce better quality products for pneumatic piston rod application through turning operation. The control factors considered for the study are spindle speed (N), feed rate (f), depth of cut (d) and tool nose radius (r), and the experiments are planned based on Taguchi's L₉(3⁴) orthogonal array. The experiments were conducted in a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning centre using CNMG TiN coated carbide cutting tool insert of three different nose radius, such as 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.2 mm, on AISI 1040 medium carbon steel. The optimal combination of control factors and the corresponding levels were determined for the minimum surface roughness based on signal to noise ratio using MINITAB statistical software and simultaneously, a mathematical model was developed for the surface roughness through regression analysis. The confirmation result revealed the effectiveness of Taguchi's technique by providing better quality product.

Abstract

Cookstove is one of the oldest technologies in the world and is known since 100,000 BC for preparing food. Due to incomplete and poor combustion in traditional cookstoves, it not only consumes a large amount of fuel, but also emits harmful gases which cause severe health problems. Designing a biomass cookstove is dependent mostly on empirical information and hit and trial method of experimentation, influenced by various thermodynamic and heat transfer calculations, which is costly. The proposition is to design a simple yet efficient natural draft biomass cookstove, which is cheap and affordable for all groups of people and should also accommodate their existing cooking practices along with very little or no emission of harmful gases. The performance parameters will be calculated using simulation, and then if found appropriate, fabrication will be done. In this approach, firstly standard Water Boiling Test on two biomass cookstoves available to the team was conducted and various performance parameters of the same were calculated. After experimentation, various important factors required for designing a biomass cookstove were defined and a natural draft biomass cookstove was designed, and detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of the temperature, flame velocity and pressure distribution in the configuration was done using ANSYS Fluent. After the simulation, it was found that the range in which temperature, flame velocity and pressure distribution of the biomass cookstove designed in this research is in good agreement with the results mentioned in literature for free or natural convection. On the basis of results obtained, it was concluded that the design of natural draft improved biomass cookstove is reliable and fabrication of the same will be feasible and will meet the objective set by the team. Here, an idea of the capability of CFD in the field of modelling and analyzing various properties of biomass combustion was known, and it was deduced that ample amount of time and expenses related to experimental investigations can be reduced if CFD is implemented at the proper early stage.

Abstract

The present research work concentrated on optimization of process parameters to explore the effects of electrode material, Voltage and Duty Cycle in Die-Sinking Electrical Discharge Machine (DSEDM) with Twin Tool Setup. In this experiment, Material Removal Rate (MRR) and Tool Wear Rate (TWR) in machining of Through holes on Copper workpiece, using a couple of copper and steel electrodes with straight polarity have been calculated. In view of the experiments and using Taguchi's design of experiments, response tables and graphs have been made. For high MRR and low TWR, the most significant factor is Voltage. Based on the optimization results from Signal-to-Noise ratios (S/N ratios), it is observed that high MRR is obtained for Copper (Cu) electrode, 55 V and 70% duty cycle, and low TWR for Stainless Steel (SS) electrode, 55 V and 70% duty cycle. Additionally, a comparison is made amongst copper and steel electrodes based on Machining time, MRR and TWR; it is observed that copper electrode is the best material for machining of Through holes on copper workpiece.

Abstract

The primary requirements of the present day automobiles are improved fuel efficiency and reduced emission levels. One way to achieve these two requirements is to decrease the weight of the components in the automobile without compromising on the strength of the components. The reduction in the weight of the components without compromising the strength of the automobile is achieved by using fiber-based composite materials in the automobile. The work reported in this paper compares the impact strength, cost and weight of jute-based composite bumper with that of the existing steel bumper. In this paper, the outline and development of a composite bumper made of jute fiber fortified polymer are explained. Hand lay-up process was utilized to develop the composite bumper and the same is carried out by using jute and epoxy bidirectional laminates. The jute composite bumper was developed by applying a series of jute fiber layers and liquid resin layers. Later, Charpy impact test was carried out to find the impact strength of composite bumper which was observed to be 7.14 J/mm². When compared with the steel bumper, the composite bumper is 58% less in cost and a weight reduction of 56.1% is achieved.

Abstract

Fiber reinforced polymers are used extensively in various engineering applications due to their advantages such as producing any component with any form and shape. Resin infusion process is the most effective technique being employed in processing of components with intricate geometric details. However, the mechanical behavior is affected by various parameters in such production process. The present study aims at understanding the effect of parameters such as fiber architectures, number of layers, and inlet vacuum in the mould on the mechanical properties of the e-glass/polyester composites. Two different fiber architectures (i) chopped strand and (ii) Unidirectional (UD) mat are selected where the number of layers are varied as 4 layers, 5 layers, and 6 layers. Three different vacuum pressures (i) 200 mm of Hg, (ii) 300 mm of Hg, and (iii) 400 mm of Hg are selected in the present study for preparation of samples. The results indicate that there is a considerable effect of the above said parameters on the mechanical behavior of the material.

Abstract

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) analysis is used for the prediction of Material Removal Rate (MRR), Tool Wear Rate (TWR) and Surface Roughness (SR) in Electrical Discharge Machining(EDM) process of M2 tool steel, followed by a Matlab program.Taguchi's L₃₆ mixed orthogonal array was used to optimize the input parameters, such as polarity, electrode type, and concentration of abrasive powder, discharge current, voltage and duty cycle. Taguchi technique individually is not effective for multiple performance characteristics, so ANN is applied for this experimental study for converting process parameters into single performance characteristics which allows for a potential economical experimentation. The outcome analysis shows that the suggested ANN models can predict the acceptable optimum machining parameters for Electrical Discharge Machining, and has been verified experimentally as well as graphically by adopting Back-Propagation Neural Networks (BPNN) model.

Abstract

Control of Dimensional accuracy with good surface finish is the most important requirement of the manufactured parts because it is a kind of measuring parameter to determine the reliability. The accuracy can be attained by the automation of the tool by removing the human error possibilities, and here comes the role of CNC (Computer Numeric Control) system. Use of CNC Machining in the manufacturing sector involves control of machine tools with the help of computers. The tools that can be controlled in this manner include lathes, mills, routers and grinders, etc. In this article, the designing of the various parts of CNC setup is shown by SolidWorks 2017 Student Addition with simple static simulation. The simulation results show the limits of stress, strain, and displacement in the designed setup.
