ABSTRACT
Corrosion in general problem affects the process in industries such as chemical,
fertilizer, nuclear, steam power plants, food processing, and petrochemical industries, which
weakens the steel structure causing it to fail prematurely. Thoug h corrosion cannot be
eliminated fully, it can be reduced to certain extent by using the high corrosion resistant
materials, such as stainless steel. Weld cladding is a process of depositing a thick layer of a
corrosion resistant material over carbon steel surface to improve the corrosion resistance
properties. The main objective of this paper is to predict the percentage dilution as a function
of process parameters. The base plate is mild steel: IS:2062, deposited material is super
duplex stainless steel: 2507 ,shielding gas as gas, mixture of ARGON(80%) & CO
2
(20%).
experiments were conducted based on five-factor, five-level central composite rotatable
design with full replication technique. The mathematical models were developed using
multiple regression method. The percentage of dilution will be predicted by using Quality
America PCE- IV. It was found that the percentage dilution is significantly affected by the
wire feed rate and welding speed.

ABSTRACT
Cladding is the most economical process used on the surface of low carbon structural steel to
improve the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistant property is based on the amount of ferrite
present in the clad layer. Generally, the ferrite content present in the layer is expressed in terms of
ferrite number (FN). The optimum range of ferrite number plays an instrumental role to bring
adequate surface properties like chloride stress corrosion cracking resistance, pitting and crevice
corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. For achieving maximum economy and enhanced life,
duplex stainless steel (E2209T1-4/1) is deposited on the surface of low carbon structural steel of IS:
2062. The problem faced in the weld cladding towards achieving the required amount of ferrite
number is the selection of an optimum combination of input process parameters (welding current,
welding speed, contact tip to specimen distance and gun angle). This paper mainly concentrates on
estimating FN and analysis of input process parameters on FN of heat treated duplex stainless steel
cladding. To predict FN, mathematical equations was developed based on four factor five level central
composite rotatable design with full replication using regression methods. In this paper, artificial
neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) techniques were integrated and labelled as ANN-
GA to identify the optimum process parameters in FCAW to get maximum FN. From the results, the
integrated ANN-GA (I OR II) is capable of giving maximum FN at optimum process parameters
compared to that of experimental, regression and ANN modeling.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF A HYBRID COMBUSTION
CHAMBER DESIGN IN A COMPRESSION IGNITION
ENGINE

ABSTRACT
The Pre-combustion chamber positioned in the cylinder head of IDI engines produces
high swirl rate in varying engine speed leading to increased power output. The higher heat
transfer loss through the pre-combustion chamber to the coolant circuit leads to decrease in
thermal efficiency resulting in higher SFC.
Comparatively, in DI engines, high swirl rate will increase the power output at high
speeds with better thermal efficiency and at low speeds, decreasing swirl rate will decrease
the power output.
In the present work, the purpose of implementing the hybrid combustion chamber
design is to combine the advantageous features of both DI and IDI combustion chamber
designs and to ensure the high swirl rate in varying engine speeds with high thermal
efficiency, low SFC and increased engine power output. Here the fuel is injected into a
unique modified combustion chamber, majority of which is positioned in the piston cavity.
A commercial CFD Software STAR-CD ES-ICE is used to analyze the in-cylinder
combustion process in a four stroke, air cooled, 4.4 kW engine and the results are compared
with the modified DI Engine with Hybrid combustion chamber design.

ABSTRACT
The effect of FCAW process parameters on the quality of the super duplex stainless
steel (SDSS) claddings can be studied using taguchi L9 design of experiments. In this
cladding deposits were made with 30% bead overlap. Establishing the optimum levels of
process parameters is required to ensure better bead geometry and desired properties. The
above objectives can be achieved by identifying the significant input process parameters as
input to the mathematical models like welding voltage (V), wire feed rate (WF), welding
speed (S) and Nozzle to plate distance (NTPD). The responses identified governing the bead
geometry like bead width and height of the reinforcement. The mathematical models were
constructed using the data collected from the experiments based on taguchi L9 orthogonal
array design. Then the models were optimized using nontraditional nature inspired technique
like genetic algorithm (GA) used to finding the multi objective function.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the development of mathematical models for austenitic stainless
steel (316 L) cladding deposited by Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW).The weld quality
depends on the welding process parameters like welding voltage, welding current, welding
speed, bead offset, etc. The heat input to the cladding process influences bead geometry,
composition, ferrite content, microstructure and corrosion properties. The bead geometry
influences the number of welding passes required to cover the given surface area. The
percentage of offset influences the dilution of filler metal and thickness of the deposited
layer. Dilution reduces the alloy content of the deposited later and degrades corrosion
resistance properties. The simulation results shows that the parameters wire feed rate and
welding speed has significant impact on the bead width and height of reinforcement. The
optimum combination of the process parameters was determined using the genetic algorithm.
The Pareto front provides the non-dominated solutions for the responses.

rameshkrishnanp87@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
This paper presents an application of 5S in technology in a Bio-mass processing unit.
Due to increased demand, high product variety, and a push production system, the plant has
suffered from excessive wastes, unorganized workstations, and unhealthy work environment.
This has translated into increased production cost, frequent delays, and low workers morale.
Under such conditions, it has become difficult, if not impossible, to implement effective
continuous improvement studies. Improving plant layout, and organizing workstations. 5S
lean technology is utilized for achieving project diagnosing the production process,
streamlining the workflow, removing/reducing process waste, cleaning the production
environment. The work was a combination of both culture changes and tangible/physical
changes on the shop floor. The 5S technique represents a fundamental technique which
allows the enhancement of efficiency and productivity, while ensuring a pleasant
organizational climate. The project has drastically changed the plant and developed the
infrastructure for a successful implementation of continuous improvement as well as other
best practices and quality initiatives.

ABSTRACT
Due to the stringent legislation for emission of diesel engines and also increasing
demand on fuel consumption, the importance of detailed 3D simulation of fuel injection,
mixing and combustion have been increased in the recent years. In this regard, Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique has been identified as a very helpful tool through which the
in-cylinder process can be simulated and studied before proceeding to prototyping and
experimental studies.
The piston bowl design is one of the most important factors that affect the airfuel
mixing and the subsequent combustion and pollutant formation processes in a direct injection
(DI) diesel engine. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the piston bowl
geometry on engine performance and emissions in a DI turbocharged diesel engine.
In order to understand the better effect of bowl geometry, three different piston bowls
are to be investigated. A commercial CFD code STAR-CD is used to analyze the in-cylinder
combustion process and the results are compared with the re-entrant bowl, 4strokediesel
engine system.

ABSTRACT
The present investigation was to study the performance, combustion and emission
characteristics of homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion of diesel
fuel with external mixture formation technique. A stationary four stroke, single cylinder,
direct injection diesel engine capable of developing 4.4 kW at 1500 rpm was modified to
operate in HCCI mode. To achieve homogeneous mixture, diesel fuel was inducted in vapour
form by using a diesel fuel vaporizer. The fuel vaporizer was mounted in the intake system to
provide diesel vapour, which is mixed with air and inducted into the cylinder. To control the
early ignition of diesel vapourair mixture, cooled EGR technique was adopted. Experiments
were conducted with diesel vapour induction without EGR and diesel vapour induction with
10% EGR and results are compared with conventional diesel fuel operation. From the
experimental results, it is found that, the ignition delay is reduced considerably for diesel
vapour induction due to better mixture preparation and results in low emissions. A reduction
of about 55% and 80% in Knox emissions and 20% and 30% reduction in smoke emissions
are obtained for diesel vapour induction without EGR and Diesel vapour induction with
10% EGR compared to conventional mode of operation.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, an increasing concern of environmental issues of emissions, in
particular global warming and the limitations of energy resources has resulted in extensive
research into novel technologies of generating electrical power. Thermoelectric power
generators have emerged as a promising alternative green technology due to their distinct
advantages. Thermoelectric power generation offer a potential application in the direct
conversion of waste-heat energy into electrical power. This Project is mainly deal with
utilization of waste energy. In our project we have to extract electrical energy from heat and
velocity of exhaust gas by the principle of seeback effect. So we have to install thermo
electric module at silencer zone in order to generate electric energy from heat. Then in other
power generation mode we have to increase the velocity of exhaust gas by means of nozzle
arrangement. The high Velocity exhaust gas impact on light weight turbine which is coupled
with PMDC generator to generate electricity. The generated electric energy is stored in
Battery(+12v).the stored electric energy is then utilize by means of refrigeration. In
refrigeration the principle opposite to Seeback effect known as Peltier effect occur.
In this study, it was observed that, the order of significance of the main variables is as
A1>B4>C4>D1 (Turbine speed(A),Electric energy from turbine(B),Temp(c),Electric

gopalbarathi@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
For the past few years there is an increased alternate fuel development for the
conventional engines. In the view of development of these alternate fuels, is to meet stricter
emission standards, to have relatively lower impact on the environment than that of
conventional fuels and also to save precious non-renewable fuels. Many studies were
increased on optical method of fuel spray characteristics for better air and fuel mixing for
cleaner combustion process.
In this study, to provide a better understanding of spray and combustion
characteristics, different fuel spray models are simulated in a controlled environment by
varying all possible injection parameters and thus optically macroscopic properties are
studied in comparison with the standard conventional fuel by using a high speed camera. This
paves a way to develop an injector which is multi-fuel capable. The measurement includes
spray tip penetration, SMD, spray cone angle and spray shape.

lsgokulmech@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
In the past decade, there is multi-fold growth in vehicular population. There is a
marked decrease in ambient air quality because of the pollutants released by these vehicles
both on and off road. Hence Researchers focus on fuel consumption and emission reduction.
Due to depleting fossil fuel reserves, there is growing demand to switch over to alternative
fuels. Alternative fuels like biodiesel and ethanol are renewable and relatively green, being
derived from vegetable oil and sugar molasses respectively. Recently, blending of fuels to
improve the combustion properties of fuel is being employed as an option.
In this study, Waste plastic oil Dimethoxymethane (DMM) is to be tested in a
single cylinder direct-injection diesel engine to investigate the performance and emission
characteristics of the engine under various engine loads at constant speed of 1500 rpm. The
experiment will carried out three different types of fuels. Neat diesel, Diesel with waste
plastic oil 10% bend and Diesel with waste plastic oil 20%. The results of various waste
plastic oil blends will be compared with neat diesel.
It is expected that the engine performance will improve. Waste plastic oil normally
contains hydrocarbon. So hydro carbon, carbon monoxide and smoke emission concentration
in the exhaust will increase because of incomplete combustion. So adding DMM to waste
plastic oil. The experimental results of DMM blends with plastic oil shows reduction in
carbon monoxide, hydro carbon and smoke emissions but increase in NOx emission.

ABSTRACT
We are planning to introduce offshore wind farms for generating more power when
compare to onshore wind farms. Researches predicted that coal and natural fuels like petrol,
diesel will be rare resources within 40 years so, be aware of those scarcity we have to switch
over to wind energy, nuclear energy.
Today we are not receiving proper rainfall because of that dams are unable to store
water so we are getting less hydropower and also winds are not blowing properly during
summer reason because of that onshore wind farms failing to give constant power so we are
facing more power crisis during summer season, this is the condition prevailing in our
country so we can implement offshore wind farm in our country to get constant power during
summer season also. At present global warming and carbon credit are one among the main
problem in the world .To overcome these problem, we can opt for wind energy.

ABSTRACT
The brake is an essential & important part of automobile vehicle and airplane for
stopping. Existing disc brakes are made of cast iron because of their low cost and good wear
resistance. But the thermal characteristics of the cast iron material are not enough to dissipate
the heat generated at the interface while breaking. A transient analysis for the thermal contact
problem of the disc brakes (Al/SiC composite, Cast iron materials with solid and ventilated
type) with heat generation is performed with numerical method and the finite element
analysis. To analyze numerically, the thermal phenomenon occurring in the disc brakes using
the occupied heat conduction equation is solved with contact problems obtained in the single
stop braking condition. Based on these numerical results, the thermal behaviors of the Al/SiC
composite, Cast iron and with their excellent mechanical properties are also discussed with
solid disc and ventilated disc. The computational results are presented for the distribution of
temperature on each friction surface between the contacting bodies.

spajames4@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
During machining operation, friction between work piece-cutting tool and cutting
tool-chip interfaces result high temperature on cutting tool. The effect of this generated heat
affects shorter tool life, higher surface roughness and lowers the dimensional sensitiveness of
work material. This result is more important when machining of difficult-to-cut materials,
due to occurrence of higher heat. Different methods have been reported to protect cutting tool
from the generated heat during machining operations. The selection of coated cutting tools
are an expensive alternative and generally it is a suitable approach for machining some
materials such as titanium alloys, heat resistance alloys etc. Another alternative is to apply
cutting fluids in machining operation. They are used to provide lubrication and cooling
effects between cutting tool and workpiece and cutting tool and chip during machining
operation. Hence the influence of generated heat on cutting tool would be prevented. As a
result, important benefits would be achieved such longer tool life, easy chip flow and higher
machining quality in the machining processes. The selection of cutting fluids should be
carefully carried out to obtain optimum result in machining processes. In this paper, the nano
fluid as a coolant for the drilling machine to make the holes for better cutting conditions.

princejeromechristopher@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
In vehicles problem happens while driving on bumping road condition. The objective
of this project is to design and analyze the performance of Shock absorber by varying the
wire diameter of the coil spring. The Shock absorber which is one of the Suspension systems
is designed mechanically to handle shock impulse and dissipate kinetic energy. It reduces the
amplitude of disturbances leading to increase in comfort and improved ride quality. The
spring is compressed quickly when the wheel strikes the bump. The compressed spring
rebound to its normal dimension or normal loaded length which causes the body to be lifted.
The spring goes down below its normal height when the weight of the vehicle pushes the
spring down. This, in turn, causes the spring to rebound again. The spring bouncing process
occurs over and over every less each time, until the up-and-down movement finally stops.
The vehicle handling becomes very difficult and leads to uncomfortable ride when bouncing
is allowed uncontrolled. Hence, the designing of spring in a suspension system is very
crucial. The analysis is done by considering bike mass, loads, and no of persons seated on
bike. Comparison is done by varying the wire diameter of the coil spring to verify the best
dimension for the spring in shock absorber. Modeling and Analysis is done using
Pro/ENGINEER and ANSYS respectively.

ABSTRACT
We are doing an project on FABRICATION OF PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED
ACUPRESSURE MACHINE with the main motive of increasing blood circulation and
reducing blood pressure. Especially in Hospitals, the coma patients are supervised by an
attender for their movements in bed. If they are not noticed for a long time without any
movement, then there is no blood circulation in that specific area. So, due to this the blood
cells present in the skin are decomposed and formed into wounds. We can rectify this
problems by stimulating the acupoints present in that specific area which will increase the
blood circulation.
The stimulation of acupoints is consistent with the principles of Traditional Chinese
Medicine called as Acupressure. This is an alternative to Acupuncture. This machine also can
be used for reducing the body pain and for relaxing. We are using pneumatic system for
stimulating the points. The stimulation of specific areas on skin, can affect the functioning of
certain organs of the body. Thus the acupressure stimulation may lead to relation and
normalization of body function, pain relief and induce feeling of happiness.

ABSTRACT
Bio Diesel is a clean burning fuel that comes from natural bio Degradable non- toxic
and renewable sources. Bio Diesel is a generic name for methyl or ethyl esters made from
any tri glyceride molecule. Bio diesel can be used in any unmodified diesel engines.
Biodiesel is prepared using a variety of vegetable oils such as rapeseed, soybean,
groundnut, coconut , enema oil jatropa and pongamia, etc. Various properties of biodiesel
such as viscosity, specific gravity, cloud point, pour point, flash point and heat value are to be
considered before blending it with diesel. Biodiesel production is the process of producing
the biofuel, biodiesel, through the chemical reactions transesterification and esterification.
Globally we are in need of alternative fuel source which is renewable, economical,
and environmentally friendly as the fossil fuels used now are fast depleting. In this project
two bio-fuels namely Jatropha and palm oil are selected and tests were conducted to check
the fuel consumption of the engine by varying the loading on the engine. Various fuel blends
are to be tested.

ABSTRACT
Day by day we face the scarcity of the conventional fuels like petrol and diesel. It is a
major problem for the current as well as future vehicles and so is the increasing cost and
demand. To overcome these problems related to the scarcity and other several problems like,
efficiency, availability, cost, pollution etc. We have done a project which involves an engine
working on hydrogen and LPG as an alternate fuels. In our project hydrogen mixed up with
LPG is the alternate fuel that we use. Hydrogen generation can be done through a variety of
processes, in here we choose hydrogen generation through electrolysis of water by using
KOH as electrolyte as it is more economical and suits the working condition of our project.
This project aims to use hydrogen directly without storage, as it will save the cost and hurdles
of storing hydrogen. Direct use of fuel without storing might prove useful in many other
application in fields like aerospace, generators, etc.

anuraghknnmbiar@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
IN 718 is classified under difficult-to-cut materials as it is very difficult to
machine and consumes time to complete the machining process. Extraordinary cooling
media to control the temperature produced in the heat affected zone that is near to the tool
(Turning Insert) tip and special coated tools to avoid wear rate have to be used to
overcome this issue. An attempt has been made in this project work to bring the optimum
tool tip temperature and better surface finish while machining Inconel 718 (IN 718) by
the way of optimizing machining variables through proper coolant selection. Liquid
Nitrogen (LN
2
) is non-toxic, possess very low boiling temperature (-195.8C) and an eco-
friendly liquid (cryogenic state); so it has been selected as a coolant and used as a cutting
fluid (lubricant) to perform the turning.
Taguchi L
18
Orthogonal Array (OA) tool was used to find the optimum machining
parameters. Control factors and its levels were fixed accordingly with L
18
(2137) OA.
The control factors considered are cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, tool nose radius
and machining conditions (dry and wet) with LN
2
as a coolant. The influences of these
control parameters on the responses such as tool tip temperature and surface finish of IN
718 during machining were investigated in this study. Simultaneous optimization
technique was used for the interpretation of results. To find the optimal condition of
machining variables simultaneously optimized, regression analysis was carried out and
the results were validated in the course of conducting confirmation tests.

ABSTRACT
The Railways, which is one of the major transport agencies across the world and
in all fairness is the faster and cheaper mode of transportation in India. Imagine the
junctions left un-cleaned for a week, the stench alone would drive away all the
commuters, cheaper or not. At this point in time, take a moment to think about people,
who do all the cleaning up after us - it sure does instigate one to take actions to relieve
them off their miserable nature of work. Though the Government of India has introduced
laws pertaining to sanitation that restricts humans cleaning up the night soil, the Indian
Railways are still open and awaiting technology that could once and for all resolve this
for them. Here is the modest, yet most efficient machine that would replace the manual
labour involved in cleaning up the night soil in the tracks/rails. So now what does this
one do to help them - night soil cleaner cleans up the 700-meter odd length of the
junctions which gets most soiled on a daily basis. This semi-automated machine, with
simple mechanisms and efficient cleaning techniques, would surpass any emerging
technique in its cost-effective budget and efficacy.

ABSTRACT
India is agricultural country. Agriculture is the back bone of our Indian economy.
Harvesting the matured crops is a great problem at present. The main aim of this project
is to develop the harvesting machine which is operated manually without consuming any
source. The existing equipment in the field is depending up on the source like petrol,
diesel and electric power. Initial, operating and maintenance cost of the equipment is high
compared to manual harvesting method and losses in the field are also quite high. The
present machine harvesting is mostly suitable for farmers who have large forming areas.
It is not suitable for medium and low level farmers because the cost of harvesting
machine is not economic. This project considers the above problems and rectifies the
problems by design and fabrication of a harvesting machine which can operate manually.
Industrial modeling and Design of Equipment s are carried out by solid works V.10 and
AutoCAD 2010. This machine can operate by human effort; handling is simple and
easiest compared with existing harvesting equipment. There are two guiding wheels are
align with axle shaft and the cutter is below the axle shaft. By extracting the human force
on this machine will tend to rotate the guiding wheel. Due to this, torque is generated and
it is transferred to the shaft which contains the cutter. The circular motion of cutter strikes
the stem of crop and it falls down, by step by step movement of human with this machine

ABSTRACT
The main objective of this project is to reduce the power conception in single
cylinder reciprocating air compressor by design and fabrication of triangular air
compressor. In this triangular air compressor we are using three single cylinder
reciprocating air compressors. The entire three single cylinder reciprocating air
compressor heads are arranged in 120 angle with each other. Normally in single cylinder
reciprocating air compressor only one compressor head is drive by an electric motor. But
in this triangular air compressor three single cylinder compressor heads are driven by one
electric motor. The entire three single cylinder compressors are connected by one chain
driver shaft and the shaft is connected to a pulley, the pulley and motor pulley are
connected by V-belt drive. The electric motor drives the driven pulley due to this chain
drives rotates all the three air compressors. Those three cylinders deliver air
simultaneously. In single cylinder reciprocating air compressor half HP motor is used to
fill the air at particular volume, which the compressor takes some time to fill the
reservoir. But in triangular head air compressor half HP motor can able to run three single
cylinders air compressors at the same time with less lead time than the single cylinder
compressor. So the power conception is low when compared to single cylinder
compressor. Triangular air compressors are used for small application like laboratories,
spray painting, dust cleaning etc..,

ABSTRACT
The automobile industry has shown increased interest in the replacement of steel
spring with different materials fibreglass composite leaf spring due to high strength to
weight ratio. This Project describes Development of composite leaf spring for making
commercial vehicle leaf spring made of E-glass fibers and fillers. The Dimensions of an
existing Conventional Steel Leaf Spring of a Commercial Vehicle are taken and are
verified by design calculations. Static Analysis of 2-D model of Conventional Leaf
Spring is also performed using ANSYS 13.0 and compared with Experimental results.
The aim of this paper is to present a low cost fabrication of complete mono
composite leaf spring. A single leaf with variable thickness and width for constant cross
sectional area of unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) with similar
mechanical and geometrical properties to the multi leaf spring, was designed, fabricated
(hand-layup technique) and tested. Computer algorithm using C-language has been used
for the design of constant cross-section leaf spring. The results showed that a spring width
decreases hyperbolically and thickness increases linearly from the spring eyes towards the
axle seat. The finite element results using ANSYS software showing stresses and
deflections were verified with analytical and experimental results. The design constraints
were stresses (Tsai-Wu failure criterion) and displacement. Compared to the steel spring,
the composite spring has stresses that are much lower, the natural frequency is higher and
the spring weight is nearly 85 % lower with bonded end joint and with complete eye unit.

ABSTRACT
In this project an attempt has been made for the first time to drill Aluminium
casting using BTA deep hole drilling tool and optimize the deep hole drilling parameters
using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Boring Trepanning Association (BTA)
machining is capable of drilling holes having large length to diameter ratio in a single
pass. The present work deals with optimization of surface roughness (R
a
) and Metal
Removal Rate (MRR) of BTA machined aluminium components using RSM.
Experiments were carried out over a wide range of cutting conditions and the effect of
various process parameters like spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut using Box-
Behnken design of experimental design technique. Results are analyzed using Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) and response surface considering individually output parameters
such as Metal Removal Rate (MRR) and surface roughness (R
a
). ANOVA and response
surface analyses indicated that combinations of BTA deep hole drilling process
parameters such as high speed, high feed and high depth of cut resulted in higher Metal
Removal Rate (MRR), whereas low speed, low feed and low depth of cut resulted in
lower Ra in Aluminium casting material. The output of this work will be useful for
manufacturing engineers in deep hole drilling of Aluminium casting material which finds

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this work is to present a physical description of soil-tool
interaction according to a few basic principles. Usually in such work, many angles of
earthwork are described by experimentally fitted models. These are of limited use and are
not suitable for the description of a complex process. Here we fabricate the model of
PORTABLE AGRI SOIL DIGGER machine. This is a new innovative concept mainly
used in agricultural field. It is simple in construction and its working is easy. The Soil
remover now existing is manually operated. A man should provide large amount of
energy for removing soil. As the strength of the soil increases more effort will be needed.
It will be more comfortable if we make it mechanical soil remover by including by DC
motor, shaft& a digging cutter and a adjustable shield. There will be only need of
pressing a switch in the hand. Ones the motor started power will come from the motor to
blade through shaft, the moving blade will remove the soil easily. The main application of
this machine comes for the soil removal under coconut tree or other plants or trees. The
process will more easily and requires only lees time and manual effort. The advantage is
it will not need any petroleum fuels and weight of the machine is comparatively less. It
can work continuously for eight hours once the battery is fully charged. The operation
becomes faster and cheaper and hence it will be a real help to farmers in India.

ABSTRACT
Bicycle is one of the oldest vehicles which is still in practice. But now a days
people are showing hesitations towards bicycle, because they are not ready to apply force
on pedals. Especially in uphill road ways, it is difficult to ride a bicycle because more
man power is required. In this PEDAL OPERATED HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TO
DERIVE HIGH POWER IN BICYCLE project we are planned to implement a hydraulic
system in bicycle. The applications of hydraulics are getting wider and wider in our day
to day life. Hydraulic systems are specially meant for handling heavy load works which
are not possible to done manually by human. By considering the above said advantages of
hydraulics, we are applying hydraulics in bicycles. And the hydraulic system is meant to
actuate by means of pedal as like ordinary bicycle. So that input lower power can be
converted into higher output power and then this power is transmitted to wheels by means
of a roller chain drive. And hence it becomes easier for people to ride a bicycle.

ABSTRACT
Drinking water has become an essential need in everyones life. Every nation in
this world is in the sprit need of clean water. Civilization has lead to industrial growth and
pollution explosion all over the world which has increased the demand of fresh water.
Tamil Nadu lies in the high solar radiation band and the vast solar potential can be
utilized to convert saline water to portable water. This objective can be reached by using
solar still which is most economical one. The suns energy heats water to the point of
evaporation. When water evaporates, water vapor rises leaving the impurities like salts,
heavy metals and condensate on the underside of the glass cover. The design modification
of a single basin solar still has been discussed to improve the solar still performance
through increasing the production rate of distilled water. The distilled water production
rate can vary with the design of the solar still depth of water absorbing and storage
medium vaporization technique and location. The productivity of water can be increased
by providing low pressure inside the still basin. They greatly improve the rate of
evaporation and hence the rate of consideration on the cooler surface.

ABSTRACT
The project titled Generation of Electricity from Waste Heat of Engine and
Pollution Control. Automotive engines reject a considerable amount of energy to the
ambience through the exhaust gas. Significant reduction of engine fuel consumption
could be attained by recovering of exhaust heat by using thermoelectric generators.
Thermoelectric generators are all solid-state devices that convert heat into
electricity. Unlike traditional dynamic heat engines, thermoelectric generators contain no
moving parts and are completely silent. Such generators have been used reliably for over
30 years of maintenance-free operation. Compared to large, traditional heat engines,
thermoelectric generators have lower efficiency. But for small applications, thermo
electrics can become competitive because they are compact, simple, inexpensive and
scalable. Thermoelectric systems can be easily designed to operate with small heat
sources and small temperature differences. Such small generators could be mass produced
for use in automotive waste heat recovery and co-generation of heat and electricity.

ABSTRACT
Four Wheel Steering Control with 3 Mode Operations is a modification for the
present steering which is used for the improvement of easiness for vehicle handling. This
system assists driver by controlling the steering angle of a vehicles four wheels as the
requirement of driver, for making the parking and handling at congested areas easier. For
meeting the application the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction or in the same
direction of the front wheels, allowing a reduced turning radius or sliding of vehicle to
sideways. The vehicle used for implementing the mechanism is maruti 800. An extra
steering gear box is added at the rear part, the vehicles rear part is altered exactly as it is
in the front part. A transfer rod is given to transfer the motion from the steering rod to the
steering gear box which is added at the rear part. Now we are able to transmit the motion
that is given on steering wheel to the rear wheels and able to control like front wheels as
our requirements, which is the basic idea of our project.
There are three modes; sliding mode, reducing radius mode and sliding mode.
Normal mode means there will be no control on rear wheels. By Reducing Radius Mode
the turning radius of the vehicle is decreased to 1.9m from 4.4m. And with the help of
Sliding Mode, parking and lane changing of the vehicle is made easier.

safvanp09@mail.com

ABSTRACT
Drilling or hole production is one of the most common machining
processes in the manufacturing industry. Its significance has long been
recognized due to the large number of holes to be drilled on engineering
components and the large amount of costs involved in the process. There are
number of machine tools producing round and taper holes. But many
engineering components require square and non-circular holes. At present square
and other non holes are produced using CNC machines or spark erosion or
slotting machines. But there is no quality machine tool to produce square holes
at minimum cost. Thus we made an attempt to Design and Fabrication of Square
Hole Drilling Machine which would produce square much more easily than the
current method.
There is a drill bit inside a square box that cuts perfectly square holes
when you drill. Circular motion can be converted into a four-sided square using
the Reuleaux triangle. The process relies on the property of Reuleaux triangles
diameter being consistent across all points, and when rolled and rotated
simultaneously, tracing a square area with slightly rounded corners.

ABSTRACT
As with all things the technology improved over the years but the saw pit in some
form remains same even today in some areas. In sawmills a group of people joined
together and by manual force the wood is cutting linearly. It is very risk and it create lot
of health problems like back injuries, wood dust explosion etc. It also makes time
consumption, so the efficiency becoming very low. Normally in a saw mill, horizontal
and vertical cutting is possible by more than one machine so time for machining get
increased. To overcome these problems, a semi automatic wood cutter was designed and
fabricated with desired parameters.
Semi automatic wood cutter is a wood cutting machine which moves in
multi axis. Various DC motors are used to control the system. The cutter moves
both in horizontal and vertical direction. Clamp which holds the log of wooden
piece rotate in any angle, which helps to cut the wood in any direction. The
system makes the wood cutting process as simple and more comfortable. Cutting
can be done in a single step with reducing down time.

ABSTRACT
Gasoline, which has been the main source of fuel for all the vehicles is becoming
more expensive and impractical (especially from an environmental standpoint). By using
gasoline as primary fuel cost is not only the problem, it is also affecting the environment
by emission of harmful gases like CO, CO
2
, NO, SO
2
etc., One of the possible alternative
is the air-powered vehicles. One among them is the compressed air bike which works on
compressed air does not require any of the fuels like petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, hydrogen
etc., This replaces all types of fuels and also permanently solves the problem of pollution,
since its exhaust is clean and cool air. In this project, compressed air powered two
wheeler is operated by an air engine using compressed air, which is stored in a tank. The
compressed air stored in the storage tank will actuate the piston. Therefore the pressure
energy is converted into the rotary power. This rotary motion will be given to the vehicle
for the motion. The renewable energy (i.e. compressed air) used as source for vehicle
motion is one of the latest technology in engine. The design, development, advantages
and applications of compressed air powered two wheeler is being explained in this
project.

ABSTRACT
The power consumption is increased significantly due to heavy usage of electronic
based items in day to day life they consume so many power. To overcome these power
problems we depend on renewable energy resource like solar energy, wind energy, water
resource etc. For utilizing those renewable resource we need a large area and material cost are
high.
To avoid these kind of power problems by converting the wasted heat energy into
electric energy by using thermo electric module. Peltier, Thomson module is used for the
purpose of thermo-electric conversion these modules otherwise called as thermopiles/thermo
couples. Among this module Peltier module have high efficiency according to both

ABSTRACT
The famous anecdote called Nothing is Impossible made by the engineers key to
make new and innovative ideas for making a real world apart from imaginary things. Our
project is to make a filing operation without any manual work. Filing is the operation carried
out for surface grinding or wood working or plastic working. Because this is used to make
better surface finishing of metals. Production is a joint action of the operational activity and
the maintenance of the operation. This project is mainly focused on to reduce the time for
filing operation in companies, by this way we can using the scotch yoke mechanism. The
most mysterious in origin of the mechanisms studied here is the slotted yoke, one many
mechanisms used to convert rotary motion into oscillating motion. In order to simplify the
work machine is used then and there. The inversion is obtained by fixing either link 1 or link
3. In here the kink 1 is fixed when, the link 2 rotates about the centre, the link 4 will gets
reciprocating motion is called as scotch yoke mechanism. In our project we have using the
scotch yoke mechanism because its easy one as compared to other mechanism and by using
this mechanism we have to do various operations like, cutting, grinding, tapering. We have
fabricated the filing machine for doing filing operation.

ABSTRACT
Generally whenever you come across the process hole making, the first operation that
comes into your mind is drilling and boring operations. But there are several other hole
making processes too like counter boring, counter shanking, trepanning, etc. In our project
we are going to carry out the hole making process on the basis of TPEPANNING
operation. Trepanning is the manufacturing process used to produce holes or circular grooves
by using one or more cutters.
In this project we use two cutting tools which rotate axially to the work piece. The
tool is brazed with carbide tip. The tool is then hold to the shaft by making hole in the shaft
and with the help of nut and bolt. The tool is made to rotate axially to the work piece and tool
is given as per given drilling operation.
As a result we would get a hole on the work piece with a cylindrical core inside. This
can be easily removed and finally we would get a hole as per our required dimension.

ABSTRACT
The first manufactured products were made one at a time. Early artisans started with
little more than raw materials and a rough idea of the finished product. They produced each
product piece by piece, making each part individually and fitting the parts into the finished
product. The jigs and fixtures are the economical ways to produce a component in mass. So
jigs and fixtures are used and serve as one of the most important facility of mass production
system. These are special work holding and tool guiding device. Quality of the performance
of a process largely influenced by the quality of jigs and fixtures used for this purpose. What
makes a fixture unique is that each one is built to fit a particular part or shape. The main
purpose of a fixture is to locate and in the cases hold a work piece during an operation. A jig
differs from a fixture in the sense that it guides the tool to its correct position or towards its
correct movement during an operation in addition to locating and supporting the work piece.
In initial condition vice is used to holding the circular job and it is very difficult to
positioning the circular job by making use of vice. This project aims at to overcome the
difficulty of holding and positioning of circular job while machining an external square slot
on it.

ABSTRACT
Pollution is the major hazard to all living organisms in now a days. The pedal
operated pump which is developed here minimizes such hazards and it is constructed using
hydraulic components such as cylinder piston and direction control valve. Also includes
water system (i.e.) centrifugal pump, operated by pedal.
It works on the principle of expansion and compression stroke of the cylinder piston
arrangement during pedaling. The setup includes a crank and a foot pedal. During pedaling
the atmospheric air inside the cylinder piston arrangement is exhausted and a negative
pressure is created inside the cylinder and the water which is under ground level is sucked
inside the cylinder and it imparted to the delivery head. This bicycle pedal operated setup
imparts water at a height of 7.5-11.5 liters per minute from wells and boreholes up to 7
meters depth. The main purpose to use this setup is to impart motion to the water without any
electrical source.
The setup arrangement is done by using simple hydraulic components that can be
easily available in markets. And also it can be easily adapted to suit the needs of farmers for
agricultural and irrigation purposes. This makes the users free from rising energy crises, can
be used anywhere. This will be eco-friendly, no pollution and provides healthy exercise to the
user

ABSTRACT
The main motto is to lift the object of any component with the required limit of
weight which is to be placed in the top surface and with the help of the air pressure, ball valve
and pneumatic cylinder .The object is lifted from the base surface, initially the ball valve is
connected to the compressor with help of hose and one touch, the ball which gives the
direction of air to be passed from compressor to our series connections. Then the flow control
valve is connected to the pneumatic cylinder because it increases the cylinders life and also
reduces the direct attack of air from the compressor. Then piston with knuckle joint is
connected to the mid of the zig zag frame, which retracts or extend according to the flow
given to the cylinder. Mainly all the frames are made of mild steel, especially the cross
connected are made of L-section and then the top frame is made of the flat face mild steel.
One of the main problems faced by the most of engineers in any of the lifting process cannot
achieve the automotive components to lift to certain height this is very important in todays
competitive and quality conscious world. Lift is mainly depends upon the rate of air supplied
and where the piston attachment is done, if it is seated at the mid of the frame it is very
simple to lift the frame

are commonly used in the machine shop to hold the job in proper position, to release the job
quickly, to hold the job rigidly and to prevent vibration of the job while the machining is
carried out.There are many types of work holding devices like machine vices swivel vices,
universal vice, pipe vice, T-Bolts U clamps, Goose neck clamp, angle plate, Jigs and
fixtures etc. These are all mechanical type work holding devices. In this project we are
dealing about the pneumatic machine vice used in drilling and milling machines. Normally a
vice is made up of material such as cast iron to prevent vibration. The cast iron material
withstands the impact force and vibration. The Pneumatic Vice is a work holding device
which uses compressed air as a input energy source. The main components of Pneumatic
Vice are air compressing unit, actuator, flow control valves, direction control valves and
tubing. The compressed air is stored in the storage tank in which it is connected to direction
control valves and it is then connected to Pneumatic cylinder.Pneumatic piston and cylinder
unit whose pressure chamber is connected in series with the pressure chamber of the primary
drive element via a connecting hose and an adjustable exhaust pressure valve. Hence the
loading and unloading is quick. The job can be held more rigidly.

ABSTRACT
Water is essential almost for every living thing. Human being is using water for the
domestic purposes. In this concern pumping is a necessary practice for all the domestic
processes. Electrical motors are used to pump the water from the reservoir to the desired
positions. In the recent scenario, electrical power is becoming costly and demanded due to its
unavailability. This issue induced to propose a pump, which is governed by the air and propel
the water to the anticipated location with the aid of the wind power. In this paper, wind based
water pump is designed and it is fabricated. Gears are used as the transmission medium in
this pump to get the better transmission ratio. Proper selection of the peripherals and the
mountings are correspondingly calculated and inculcated. Cylinder part of the present setup is
made of brass in order to avoid the corrosion, because water contamination plays the vital
role in the parts failure. The working of the pump is tested at the different areas where the
wind force is varied. Accordingly, the setup is placed. The results are recorded and tabulated.

ABSTRACT
In this contemporary world, wide range of people is depending on LPG [Liquefied
Petroleum Gas] for cooking purpose. Mainly butane and propane are used in the LPG
cylinders.Therefore the availability of such gases is very difficult. In India, gas distribution is
limited, that is one per month. This makes a lot of problem in the cooking areas.So the main
aim of our project is to produce an indicator which helps the people to know about the gas
level in the cylinder. And also it should be more economical.The gas level indicator is used in
cooking areas such as homes, catering areas to overcome the problems faced while using
LPG cylinders for cooking. This gas level indicator has the capability to show the level of gas
in the cylinder as well as to warn the user, when the cylinder gets empty.For design and
fabrication of gas level indicator, it was necessary to visit the company and note down the
conventional methods being used in the industry and make an effective study to fabricate the
gas level indicator.

prasanna_varalu@yahoo.co.in

ABSTRACT
Motorized bottle crusher consists of an automatic crushing unit,which is used to crush
the bottle we normally use in our day to day life.This works on the principle of slider crank
mechanism.Slider crank mechanism in the sense is the conversion of rotory motion into
linear motion.It consists of crushing plate,gear arrangement,shaft link and a motor.A crusher
is a machine designed to reduce large material into a comparatively smaller size. Crushing
device hold materials between two parallel or tangent solid surface and apply sufficient
force to bring the surfaces together to generate enough energy within the material being
crushed so that its molecules separate from (fracturing), or change alignment in relation to
(deformation), each other. Crusher may be used to reduce the size, or change the form, of
waste materials so that they can be easily disposed or recycled, or reduce the size of a solid
mix of raw materials, so that pieces of different composition can be differentiated. Crushing
is the process of transferring a force amplified by mechanical advantage through a material
made of molecules that bond together more strongly and resist deformation more, than those
in the material being crushed. When the motor is allowed to rotate, the worm gear and the
cam shaft set up rotates along with it.The shaft links are connected to the guide, so the rotary
motion is converted to linear motion.The crushing plate crush the bottle.This can be used in
industries for recycling process.

pvineethaero@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
The greatest challenge faced by an engineer is to overcome the energy wasted due to
friction in any mechanical process. In a conventional pressing process, mechanical or
hydraulic force is used to operate the press which involves large amounts of metal to metal
contact in the drive system components, as well as inaccuracy in the control of the pressing
forces at the micro level. In this system introduces the basic construction of an
Electromagnetic assisted pressing machine to carry out the pressing operation. The main
components involve transformer, bridge rectifier, insulated coil, spring, and plunger. The
power is transmitted from the transformer to the bridge rectifier, which in turn converts it into
DC. This DC is supplied to the coil, which energies the non-magnetic metal (plunger) and
actuates it. By this pressing operation is done. After removing the supply, the coil gets de-
energizes and the spring retracts back the plunger to normal position. Apart from recent
pressing machine, electromagnetic press is more compact and very low cost. Force exerted on
the work piece can be precisely controlled by varying the electricity. So, electromagnetic
press is more effective than the normal hydraulic and pneumatic press.

ABSTRACT
ENGINE is the heart of an automobile. The internal combustion engine which works
on fossil fuels has been used for centuries. Though the internal combustion engine is known
for many advantages, it cannot be ruled out with its defects. As we know it the combustion of
fossil fuels emits harmful smoke which has many chemicals that are harmful for the
environment as well as for humans. One such way is using electricity for running
automobiles. This paper discusses how electricity can run an engine combined with the
principles of electromagnetism and shows the minimization in the current consumption by
using distributor. It is a modification of conventional internal combustion engine. As the
fossil fuels are prone to extinction, thus this proposed idea is an attempt to get rid of the
conventional fossil fuel engines. Proposed work uses the electromagnetic force to drive the
piston and produce power. This electromagnet is powered by a distributer system which is
carried on in Spark Ignition process. The to and fro movement of the piston is converted into
a rotary motion by the crank shaft, which in turn is coupled to the wheels which causes the
wheels to rotate. So with the help of the electromagnets, the to and fro movement of the
piston is obtained using the alternating attractive and repulsive force of the magnets, which is
responsible for the movement of the vehicle. Though there is Electric motor Vehicle in
present days to eradicate the fuel problem, but it has ideal speed of 350 rpm at 20.5amps
current and low long run capacity. This problem is concentrated in this paper and the
Electromagnetic Engine is constructed with the speed of 350rpm at 15amps current.

ABSTRACT
The main aim of this project is to control the tiller of the tractor by using the rear
wheel brake system. And by implementation of this project the work of the driver during
ploughing process reduces and also this project will make a new revolution in the modern
tractors.
Now a days the tillers are always lifted manually by operating the control lever in
each and every turning of the ploughing field. By using this project the tiller can be
controlled by the rear wheel hydraulic brake system.
So the usage of lever would be less during ploughing time and the time taken to plough a
field is reduced due to automation of the tiller control. The load in the tiller during the time of
turning is reduced as much.
Instead of hydraulic system the mechanical model has been done as a prototype for
this project. By the help of the mechanical prototype the working principle can be easily
explained.

In cooking, a gas stove is a cooker/stove which uses natural gas, propane, butane,
liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas as a fuel source. Most modern stoves come in
a unit with built-in extractor hoods . The first gas stoves were developed as early as the
1820s, but these remained isolated experiments. James Sharp patented a gas stove in
Northampton, England in 1826 and opened a gas stove factory in 1836. At the Great
Exhibition in London in 1851, a gas stove was shown, but only in the 1880s did this
technology start to become a commercial success.
Here in this project we make use of copper tubes which are best suited for conduction
of heat .This project is best suited for commercial enterprises such catering services, Hotels

ABSTRACT
The air brake system is one of the critical components in ensuring the safe
operation of any commercial vehicle. This work is directed towards the development of
a fault-free model of the pneumatic subsystem of the air brake system.
In 2002 and 2004, there were over 5,000 fatalities related to trucking accidents in
the United States. The trucking industry has since made significant efforts in increasing
safety regulations. In 2008 the industry had successfully lowered the fatality rate to just over
4,000 deaths. But trucking accidents are still an issue that causes thousands of deaths and
injuries each year. Approximately 6,000 trucking accident fatalities occur annually in the
United States. Fatalities are not the only issue caused by trucking accidents. Here are some of
the environmental issues that arise with trucking accidents:
27% accidents of caused due to brake failure.
14.4% of trucking accidents cause cargo to spill.
6.5% cause open flames.
So the main aim of this project is to control an accident that is caused due to brake failure.

ABSTRACT
The main aim of this project is to fabricate a drill jig and fixture and make the process
simpler and easier. In this project an alternate source of pneumatic energy or the fluid energy
is used for provide a tight clamping force to hold the work on a particular place.
The process is made more reliable and semiautomatic by implementing pneumatic system
which reduces the human effort. The locator is initially placed at lower position so that the
part to be drilled can be loaded easily. Since a cylinder block is used as a component. The
locating plate consists of a round undercut with in which the component can be located.
Once this is done the locator is moved upward by the pneumatic cylinder. The plate is held in
position by the cylinder such a way that the parts top surface contacts with the guiding plate.
Hence the movement of the component is arrested entirely. Now the drill is guided through
the jig plate and a hole is drilled in the required place with less strain. Once the operate is
over the cylinder is descended to unload the component. To operate the cylinder a directional
control valve is used which is a lever operated type (or) manually operated.

ABSTRACT
In most of the foundries grinding in fettling process of casting are more essential.
During solidification of the casting metal contraction occurs. For reducing the metal
deficiency, metal blankets are used in core. These metal blankets full-fill the metal
deficiency. These blankets, solidified part from runner and risers are removed by gas cutting.
After this, the casting reaches grinding process. The manual grinding of critical and
inaccessible area of casting intakes more timing in grinding process. This conventional
method can be improved by implementing a suitable mechanism for the support of flexible
shaft grinding machine with guide way for grinding the critical area. The flexible shaft
grinding machine provides a support to the machine and to save the time duration and easy in
providing feed of grinding operation. Designing a mechanism to support with a minimized
work load provides economical and performance advantage. Decreased operation time allows
speedy dispatch of the finished castings. The efficient model of the mechanism is designed
using SolidWorks-2012 version. The design is done according to the ratio of the casting size.
The project identifies the problem and provides a best result in grinding the internal surface
of globe valve. Here a machine is provided with various mechanisms of motions and various
joints for better machining process. The flexible shaft and grinding tool of the grinding
machine is clamped with the machine. Due to the forward and backward motion through
handle, the grinding tool is positioned inside the bore with efficient grinding process.

ABSTRACT
Humans have always been fascinated by the idea of going faster than before. The
speed of the vehicles go up the technology required to safely stop these vehicles must evolve.
Braking systems have tremendous transformations from lever type brakes on horse carriages
to multilayer carbon ceramic disc type brakes to air brakes used on land speed record braking
vehicles. The baking process of a vehicle is complex, giving possibility to the driver to
reduce the vehicle speed or stop it at big speed in short distance. It is known that the braking
performance of buses, trucks, and other load carriers varies significantly over a wide range,
less than that of passenger cars, and certainly less than the maximum performance
achievable. In order to increase the braking, center joint braking system is introduced. The
main objective of this type of braking is that, it aids the normal braking system by slowing
down the vehicle by controlling the speed of the center-joint. A standard disc is introduced in
the center-joint which is operated at same time along with the other brake. Its operations are
same as that of normal disc brake. Thus, when it is operated, the braking efficiency of the
vehicle is increased accordingly the speeding vehicle slowdown at appropriate time. This
type of braking will be more effective in case of heavy vehicles and it aids at the time of
downpour without causing any damage to the gear box or differential unit.

ABSTRACT
Aim of this Project is to make new kind of transmission system for bicycle for getting
high reliability system, and more safe system. A drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft,
propeller shaft, or Cardan shaft is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and
rotation, usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected
directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.
Drive shafts are carriers of torque; they are subject to torsion and shear stress,
equivalent to the difference between the input torque and the load. They must therefore be
strong enough to bear the stress, whilst avoiding too much additional weight as that would in
turn increase their inertia. The drive shaft has served as an alternative to a chain-drive in
bicycles for the past century, although never becoming very popular. With a chain drive
transmission, a chain ring attached to a crank drives the chain, which in turn rotates the rear
wheel via the rear sprockets.

nagu.sajana@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
Nowadays there are so many types of bending machines are used for bending
operations. For example hydraulic bending machine is used for bending very hard materials
and mechanical bending machine is used for bending medium materials. But now by using
the pneumatic bending machine the sheet metal can be bend with low equipments and at less
arrangements. Pneumatic bending machine is used because of its size, cost and easily
portable system.
This pneumatic bending machine is mainly selected to avoid the leakage problem and
friction loss. It can be bend with accuracy and without any damage by using pneumatics. In
hydraulic systems one disadvantage is that more expensive and is rare to use effectively
because of the cost and the requirements are unavailable as per the needs. But in pneumatic
systems are easily available and atmospheric air can be used for the pneumatic operations.
Here the components used are compressor, solenoid valve, and directional control valve,
double acting pneumatic cylinder, punch and die. Productivity can be increased by this
pneumatic operation.

ABSTRACT
In this project we fabricate a new mechanism called vice using eccentricity. It works
in the principle of eccentric mechanism. The main features of the vice using eccentric are
promotes mass production, can hold irregular jobs, more rigidity, reduce fatigue, etc.
eccentric is designed to hold the job at high pressure. The other parts were designed to hold
the job in rigid condition. The vice using eccentric consists of fixed jaw (vice), moving jaw,
lever, ratchet and pawl mechanism, handle, eccentric mechanism and a frame. The fixed jaw
is fixed on the frame. The moving jaw is arranged parallel to the fixed jaw. The eccentric
arrangement is placed behind the moving jaw. The eccentric arrangement consists of lever
which is used to turn the circular disc to a certain angle. A ratchet and pawl mechanism is
mounted in the same place where the circular disc is mounted. The specimen is placed
between the fixed jaw and moving jaw, and then the circular disc lever is operated manually.
Thus the moving jaw moves front and holds the work piece at that time the lever of the
ratchet mechanism should be released after holding the work piece the lever should hold the
ratchet mechanism hence the movable jaw wont come back it will hold the work piece
rigidly. Now we can easily clamp and unclamp the specimens in this equipment very easily.

ABSTRACT
Pollution caused by the vehicles affects human beings, animals and other living
things. Single vehicle pollute 7.5 tone of atmospheric air per year. Countless of vehicles in
this world makes the air to get polluted day by day. Although several measures are proposed
and executed to control the air pollution, since it is a dangerous threat to whole environment.
Catalytic converter is one of the successful measures used to control the air pollution caused
by vehicles. Catalytic converter is commonly used in four wheelers and heavy vehicles. In
two wheelers Catalytic converters are not commonly used because of its size and cost.
Chemicals such as potassium hydroxide, pyrogallol, dilute acids are used in
combustion analysis to absorb carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and series of
nitrogen oxides. When this concept is applied in two wheeler exhaust system it is possible to
reduce pollutants from exhaust gas. Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) is used to absorb Carbon
dioxide (CO
2
), Carbon monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbons (HC) to gives potassium carbonate
salt and water as steam. A chamber with desired parameter is designed and fabricated to
make the reaction process safe and effective.
This system will protect the environment from getting polluted and also increase the
moisture level in the atmosphere.

ABSTRACT
Sheet metal cutting is similar to the process by which a sheet of paper is cut using
scissors. However the machinery used is a little different. Pneumatic sheet metal cutting
machine plays an important role in sheet metal cutting operation. The main drawback of
pneumatic sheet metal cutting machine is the pressure and power output required for the
smooth cutting operation. Then an attempt on HYDRAULIC SHEET METAL CUTTING
MACHINE is done to make up for the pressure and power output requirement.
The main aim of the project is to develop a hydraulic sheet metal cutting machine in
order to meet the pressure and power output requirement for smooth cutting operation. This
project is designed with hydraulic pump and motor setup, hydraulic cylinder, direction
control valve, oil tank and cutting tool.

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF KINETIC ENERGY
RECOVERY SYSTEM IN BICYCLE
S. Prasanth, T. Ravisankar, V. Salamon, S. Shankaranandh, R. Dinesh
salamon.1993@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS) is an automotive system for recovering a
moving vehicle's kinetic energy under braking and also to convert the usual loss in kinetic
energy into gain in kinetic energy. The recovered energy is stored in a flywheel and
retransmitted to the wheel in order to help the acceleration. When riding a bicycle, a great
amount of kinetic energy is lost while braking, and makes start up fairly strenuous. In order to
overcome this, mechanical kinetic energy recovery system by means of a flywheel is used to
store the energy which is normally lost during braking, and reuse it to help propel the rider
when starting. A flywheel is an energy storage device that uses its significant moment of
inertia to store energy by rotating. It can temporarily store the kinetic energy from the bicycle
when the rider needs to slow down. The rider can charge the flywheel when slowing or
descending a hill and boost the bike when accelerating or climbing a hill. The energy stored
in the flywheel can be used to bring the cyclist back up to cruising speed. In this way the
cyclist recovers the energy normally lost during braking.
The flywheel increases maximum acceleration and a total of 20% pedal energy is
saved during a ride where speeds are between 12.5 mph and 15 mph. In addition to increased
energy efficiency, the flywheel-equipped bicycle is more fun to ride since the rider has the
ability to boost speed.

m.raju1521@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
In recent days electricity is most demand in transport vehicles. This demand is
rectified by producing electricity by using leaf spring suspension. Leaf springs are very
common in automobiles which act as a linkage for holding the axial in position. It makes the
construction of suspension as simple and strong. Leaf spring is used to support the chassis
weight and also its control the damping and braking force. Due to the road roughness,
acceleration and braking torque the wheel exerts force on the spring. Due to this force
continuous displacement occurs at the center of leaf spring. Vibrating energy gets wasted in
the form of kinetic energy and heat energy.
A set up is designed and fabricated with desired parameters to convert the linear
movement of spring into electric power by using double ratchet pawl mechanism. This
system makes use of vibration in leaf spring to drive the power transmitting of DC generator,
which is connected with ratchet and pawl. In two ratchet and pawl, one ratchet is rotate due to
vibration of spring in upward motion and another ratchet rotates by means of downward
motion. Both the ratchet rotates in opposite direction. By using bevel gear opposite rotation
of ratchets are converted into same direction. This rotation is feed into DC generator, by
means of shaft which makes the DC generator to produce power continuously.

shakilahamed1994@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
The purpose of the experiment is to fabricate and study the effect of compressed
air production by using vehicle suspension system. Pneumatic energy is the readily
available and low cost energy. Non-conventional energy system is very essential at this
time to our nation. So that the pneumatic type of energy is considered for our project. In
this project compressed air can be produced with the help of motion of wheel. Then this
compressed air can be used for further applications. Compressed air production using
vehicle wheel needs no fuel input power to produce the output of the air.
When the vehicle runs on the irregular roads then the wheel goes to up and down
motion. The cylinder arrangement is attached on the wheel axle. This motion is used to
suck the air from the atmosphere. Thus the piston inside the cylinder creates the internal
pressure which results in storage of air to the tank at certain pressure. This pressurized air
is saved inside the tank. The outlet of tank consists of four valves which are used to
supply the air to other pneumatic applications. Here the non return valve is used to avoid
the reversing of air flow to the atmosphere.

ABSTRACT
Punching is one of the mechanical processes in which the rivets are mounted after
the process. Sheet metal is the material of interest for the punching process often. From
most of the aerospace investigations, it reveals that punching propagate the sheet metal to
failure predominantly. In connection with this issue, the highly economic and relevant
media is to be addressed in order to avoid the failure propagation. Regarding this, the
pneumatic is chosen as the punching operation media. Pneumatic is the freely available
and economic media to do the processes in the mechanical scenario.
This present paper focused on the design and fabrication of sheet metal piercing or
punching process. Punching is generally carried out by hydraulic operation at most
industries. The integration of pneumatic and sheet metal forming process has made it
more economical and simple in construction. The die and the corresponding pressure
values are designed and fabricated accordingly for the project work. The punched holes
size varies accordingly to the place in which they have their application and the size is
determined by the die diameter. In this paper we have dealt with a punch diameter of
8mm. The proposed product is tested and the operations are analyzed consequently.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, multimodal biometric technique is one of the significant personnel
verification and identification systems. It is furthermore regarded as the best technique for
offering security, to keep away from unofficial access. The unimodal biometric system
has different disadvantages such as noisy data, variations and unacceptable error rates and
hence Multimodal biometrics is applied nowadays. Therefore, a dependable and an
enhanced identified robust multimodal biometric system are necessary. Now, for
recognition purpose, a multimodal biometric system is suggested. The two multimodal
biometric traits employed are the ear and the face. The characteristics of the ear image are
extorted by a simple geometric technique, which is based on the max-line of the ear
image. Then is the face image feature extraction that was made by LBP. Simple product
fusion is applied for recognition to discover the matching score of both the ear and the
face image of an individual. The suggested system assists to find whether the user is
authentic or imposter.

ABSTRACT
Automatically assigning relevant keywords for an image provides easier retrieval
of images and understanding of large collection of image data. In this paper, a new image
annotation algorithm was introduced which is used for image retrieval process. The
proposed system is based on the similarity measure between images which is referred as
compactness. The compactness based matching model shows how close the test image
features lie to the training image cluster centers. The usage of low level features
maintains low running time and gives more accurate detail information. At annotation
time similar images are retrieved from the database using similarity measure and the
labels from these images are used to form the annotation. This method makes use of
different label transfer techniques to transfer the labels from the retrieved images. This
annotation process requires only simple training algorithm and can efficiently work with
different low level image features.

ABSTRACT

Multiagent Systems (MAS) are increasingly becoming popular in carrying
valuable and secured data over the network. Nevertheless, the open and dynamic nature
of MAS has made it a challenge for researchers to operate MAS in a secured environment
for information transaction. Malicious agents are always seeking ways of exploiting any
existing weakness in the network. Existing system analyzes the different factors related to
evaluating the trust of an agent and then proposes a comprehensive quantitative model for
measuring such trust.
We also propose a novel load-balancing algorithm based on the different factors
defined in our model. Simulation results indicate that our model compared to other
existing models can effectively cope with strategic behavioral change of malicious agents
and at the same time efficiently distribute workload among the service providing agents
under stable condition. In existing system key generation is handling by static key
process. In proposed system, we use Digital signatures to employ a type of asymmetric
cryptography. For messages sent through a non secure channel, a properly implemented
digital signature gives the receiver reason to believe the message was sent by the claimed
sender.

ABSTRACT
With the provision of various wireless services, e.g., third-generation (3G) and
wireless local area network (WLAN), more and more people request to access the Internet
anywhere at anytime. For example, people want to check their e-mails on the bus or
watch online news while traveling in the train. For this purpose, the Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) proposed the concept of network mobility, i.e., a set of users move as
a unit. Mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN) has been developed to secure mobile users
communication between untrusted external networks and the protected private internal
network. However, the IETFs mobile VPN does not address how to support NEMO. In
addition, it is not suitable for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose architecture
and protocols to support VPN in NEMO, which is called Secure NEMO (SeNEMO). The
proposed SeNEMO, based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), is specifically designed
for real-time applications over VPN. It allows an entire network to move and still
maintains session continuity. In addition to analyzing the security vulnerabilities, we also
propose analytical models to evaluate the performance of the proposed SeNEMO. The
analysis is validated by extensive simulations. The results show that the proposed
SeNEMO can reduce signaling cost significantly.

A SCALABLE ROUTING IN VEHICULAR NETWORKS BY
PREDICTING MOVING NODE LIFETIME

Department of ECE
greeshujacob@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
In mobile ad hoc networks, a host may exhaust its power or move away without
giving any notice to its cooperative nodes, causing changes in network topology, and
thus, these changes may significantly degrade the performance of a routing protocol.
Several routing protocol studies based on node lifetime and link lifetime have been done
to address this problem. We propose a new algorithm to evaluate the node lifetime and
the link lifetime utilizing the dynamic nature, such as the energy drain rate and the
relative mobility estimation rate of nodes. Integrating these two performance metrics by
using the proposed route lifetime-prediction algorithm, we select the least dynamic route
with the longest lifetime for persistent data forwarding. Finally, we implement our
proposed route lifetime-prediction algorithm in an scalable routing in PSO and EDNR
protocol environment based on dynamic source routing (DSR) and compare the
performance through simulations. The EDNR protocol outperforms the conventional
DSR protocols that are implemented with lifetime-prediction routing (LPR) and signal-
stability-based adaptive (SSA) routing mechanisms.

ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders characterized by
transient and unexpected electrical disturbance of the brain. The electroencephalogram
(EEG) is an invaluable measurement for the purpose of assessing brain activities,
containing information relating to the different physiological states of the brain. It is a
very effective tool for understanding the complex dynamical behavior of the brain. This
paper presents a comprehensive research review on the different advanced techniques and
tools for EEG signal processing and classification. Also a Brain-Computer Interface

TRANSMISSION OF HIGH DATA RATE OVER LONG
HAUL ULAF WITH RGI FOR CO-OFDM SIGNALS

dotcones@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
We propose a novel coherent optical orthogonal frequency- division multiplexing
(CO-OFDM) scheme with reduced guard interval (RGI) for high-speed high-spectral-
efficiency long-haul optical transmission. In this scheme, fiber chromatic dispersion is
compensated for within the receiver rather than being accommodated by the guard
interval (GI) as in conventional CO-OFDM. We demonstrate this by the generation of a
448-Gb/s RGI-CO -OFDM signal with 16-QAM subcarrier modulation through
orthogonal band multiplexing. This signal is transmitted over 2000km of ultra-large-area
fiber (ULAF) with five passes through an 80-GHz-grid wavelength-selective switch. The
RGI-CO-OFDM channelsachieve a net system spectral efficiency of 5.2 b/s/Hz and a
transmission distance of 1600 km of ULAF.

ABSTRACT
The electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is used extensively as a low cost diagnostic
tool to provide information concerning the hearts state of health. Accurate determination of
the QRS complex, in particular, reliable detection of the R wave peak, is e ssential in
computer based ECG analysis. ECG data from Physionet's Sleep-Apnea database were
used to develop, test, and validate a robust heart rate variability (HRV) signal
derivation algorithm. The HRV signal was derived from pre -processed ECG signals
by developing an Enhanced Hilbert Transform (EHT) algorithm with built-in missing beat
detection capability for reliable QRS detection. The performance of the EHT algorithm
was then compared against that of a popular Hilbert Transform-based (HT) QRS detection
algorithm.Autoregressive (AR) modeling of the HRV power spectrum for both EHT- and
HT-derived HRV signals was achieved and different parameters from their power spectra
as well as approximate entropy were derived for comparison. Poincar plots were then
used as a visualization tool to highlight the detection of the missing beats in the EHT
method. After validation of the EHT algorithm on ECG data from the Physionet, the
algorithm was further tested and validated on a dataset obtained from children undergoing
polysomnography for detection of sleep disordered breathing (SDB). Sensitive measures of
accurate HRV signals were then derived to be used in detecting and diagnosing sleep
disordered breathing in children. All signal processing algorithms were implemented in
MATLAB.In this paper, we present a description of the EHT and FFT algorithm and analyze
pilot data for eight children undergoing nocturnal polysomnography. The pilot data
demonstrated that the EHT method provides an accurate way of deriving the HRV signal and
plays an important role in extraction of reliable measures to distinguish between periods of
normal and sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in children.

ABSTRACT
In multi-hop wireless networks, selfish nodes does not relay the packets that it
received but it make use of the co-operative nodes to relay their packets. It may result in
negative impact on network performance and fairness. Incentive protocol use credits to
stimulate the selfish nodes to make them cooperative but existing protocol usually rely on
heavy weight public operations to secure the payment In this paper, we propose secure
cooperation incentive protocol that uses the public-key operations only for the first packet
in a series and uses the light-weight hashing operations in the next packets, so that the
overhead of the packet series converges to that of the hashing operations Hash chains and
keyed hash values are used to achieve payment non-repudiation and thwart free riding
attacks. Security analysis and performance evaluation demonstrate that the proposed
protocol is secure and the overhead is incomparable to the public key based incentives
protocol .Because the efficient hashing operations dominate the nodes operation. The
average packet overhead is less than that of the public-key based protocols with very
high probability due to truncating the keyed hash values.

ABSTRACT
The main aim of this paper is to design scan based IC testing using the low power
VLSI technology. The reason for the power dissipation in Integrated Circuit is switching
activity in the circuit. In our base paper Dual Mode One Latch Double Edge Triggered
Scan flop was implemented for reducing the switching activity but the time delay will be
increased. Hence to overcome this, two techniques are proposed called Gated logic
circuit and Pre computation method. In Gated logic circuit AND gate is used with scan
flop for reducing the power effectively. In pre computation method comparators are used
with scan chain for reducing the time consumption.

ABSTRACT
Sensor networks have been widely employed in many real-time applications. One
of the most obvious challenges appearing to threaten the successful deployment of sensor
networks is privacy issues including source-location privacy which can not be adequately
addressed by general security mechanisms. Focusing on this important kind of privacy,
among many approaches proposed in literatures, self-adjusting phantom routing is a very
successful one. But it still has some weaknesses. In this paper, we propose an improved
version of it to enhance its performance. This method can decrease energy consumption
while increase the level of source-location privacy protection.

ABSTRACT
The efficiency can be viewed in wireless sensor network deployment when the
imperfections associated with sensor readings are considered. Binary model and
probabilistic models are the sensor coverage models which were not being realistic and
have only limited usage. Transferable Belief Model (TBM) proposes an evidence-based
senor coverage model which has better reality and can be used widely to the deployment
issues, such as sensor reliability. In this paper, an evidence-based detection coverage
model was devised. The results based on synthetic data sets and data traces collected for
vehicle detection are given to explain the merits of evidence-based coverage model in a
better way.

anuvenkat115@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
Power optimization is an important parameter in the design of VLSI circuits, and
the clock network is responsible for a substantial part of it (upto50%). Two main
approaches have been suggested to reduce clock dissipation: clock gating and low power
flip-flops. In this article we address the latter. Various design techniques for a low power
clocking system are also surveyed in this paper.
Among them is an effective way to reduce the capacity of the load is by
minimizing number of transistor in the clock. To approach this, we propose a pulse
triggered flip-flop (FF) which facilitates a faster discharge operation. As a result, number
of clocked transistor is reduced approximately 40%. In this paper we delve into the details
of flip-flop design and optimization for low power. We compare the lowest power flip-
flops reported in the literature and introduce a new flip-flop that competes with them.
The simulations are demonstrated using Digital Schematic and Microwind
Simulator and the power consumption for the conventional low power flip flops and
proposed Pulse triggered flip flops are compared.

increases the applicability of DWT-based algorithms such as JPEG 2000 to energy-
constrained platforms and environments. In addition, quantization of DWT coefficients to
a specific target step size is performed as an inherent part of the DWT computation,
thereby eliminating the need to have a separate downstream quantization step in
applications such as JPEG 2000.. Results indicate that while BP designs exhibit
inherent speed advantages, DS designs require significantly fewer hardware resources
with increasing precision and DWT level. Additionally to the BP and DS designs, a
novel flexible DWT processor is presented, which supports run-time configurable DWT
parameters.

Department of Computer Science And Engineering,

ABSTRACT
Detecting an anomaly is an essential research topic in data mining to solve the
real world applications like intrusion detection, homeland security to identify the deviated
data instances. Anomaly is a pattern of data that does not conforms to expected behavior
it is also referred as outlier, exceptions, peculiarities, surprise etc. Anomaly detection
aims to identify a small group of instances which deviates from the existing data. It needs
to solve an unsupervised yet unstable data learning problem. Mostly anomaly detection
methodology implemented in batch mode it requires more computation and memory.
Existing system online oversampling system Principal Component Analysis (osPCA)
algorithm to address this problem and for detecting the presence of outliers from a large
amount of data via an online updating technique. In PCA normal data with multi
clustering structure and data is in an extremely high dimensional space. For the former
case, it is typically not easy to use linear models such as PCA to estimate the data
distribution if there exists multiple data clusters. To overcome these problems and support
multiple data clusters we proposed a system called Independent Component Analysis
(ICA) in which it is a technique of array processing and data analysis, aiming at
recovering unobserved data samples from oversampled dataset from observed data
samples for outlier detection exploiting only the assumption of mutual independence
between the signals. The separation of the sources by ICA has great potential in
applications such as the separation of sound signals.

ABSTRACT
In large-scale wireless sensor networks the data-gathering mechanism to introducing
mobility into the network. We consider the location service in a WSN, where each sensor needs to
maintain its location information by 1) frequently updating its location information within its
neighboring set of polling points, which is called neighbourhood update (NU), and 2)
occasionally updating its location information to certain distributed location server in the network,
which is called location server update (LSU). The trade off between the operation costs in
location updates and the performance losses of the target application due to location inaccuracies
(i.e., application costs) imposes a crucial question for nodes to decide the optimal strategy to
update their location information, where the optimality is in the sense of minimizing the overall
costs. Our proposed system, develop a stochastic sequential decision framework to analyze this
problem. Under a Markovian mobility model, the location update decision problem is modelled as
a Markov Decision Process (MDP). We first investigate the monotonicity properties of optimal
NU and LSU operations with respect to location inaccuracies under a general cost setting. Then,
given a separable cost structure, we show that the location update decisions of NU and LSU can
be independently carried out without loss of optimality, i.e., a separation property. In the case that
no a priori knowledge of the MDP model is available, we also introduce a practical model-free
learning approach to find a near-optimal solution for the problem. To identify the redundancy of
data from the sensor using Pearson auto correlated technique. Our proposed system for mobile
data gathering scheme can improve the scalability and balance the energy consumption among
sensors.

ABSTRACT
Heterogeneous face recognition involves matching two face images from
alternate imaging aesthetic forms, such as an infrared image to a photograph or a
sketch to a photograph. A generic HFR framework is proposed in which both
probe and gallery images are represented in terms of nonlinear similarities to a
collection of prototype face images. The prototype subjects have an image in
each modality (probe and gallery), and the similarity between an image and
prototype images are measured. The features of this nonlinear between an image
and prototype images are measured. The features of this nonlinear prototype are
projected into a linear discriminant subspace which increases the accuracy of
this nonlinear prototype representation. In HFR framework we introduce
Random sampling to control the small sample size problem which arises as a
challenge. Previous studies have shown that the accuracy of Face Recognition
Systems (FRSs) decreases with the time elapsed between enrollments and
testing. So we have proposed a technique called G-SVM which uses Gabor filter
along with SVM for Feature Extraction and Robustness.

Coimbatore.

ABSTRACT
For a broad-topic and ambiguous query, different users may have different search
goals when they submit it to a search engine. The inference and analysis of user search
goals can be very useful in improving search engine relevance and user experience. In
this paper, we propose a novel approach to infer user search goals by analyzing search
engine query logs. First, we propose a framework to discover different user search goals
for a query by clustering the proposed feedback sessions. Feedback sessions are
constructed from user click-through logs and can efficiently reflect the information needs
of users. Second, we propose a novell approach to generate pseudo-documents to better
represent the feedback sessions for clustering. Finally, we propose a new criterion
Classified Average Precision (CAP) to evaluate the performance of inferring user
search goals. Experimental results are presented using user click-through logs from a
commercial search engine to validate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

LINK EXPIRATION TIME BASED HANDOFF SCHEME IN
WIRELESS NETWORKS

ABSTRACT
Mobility management plays an important role in wireless communication
networks. When a mobile user moves from one cell to another cell with on call, the call
should be transferred to the new cells base station. Otherwise the call will be dropped.
The process of transferring calls from one base station to another base station without
interrupting the call is called as Handover or Handoff. In this paper perform the handoff
with clustering approach. Here handoff decision is taken by assembling the network into
cluster and then determining the best handoff candidate from numerous nodes presenting
in the coverage area. The selection of cluster is based on the three parameters that are,
Received Signal Strength (RSS) of mobile nodes, call arrival rate, Link Expiration Time
and Density of the Base stations. The cluster which has high received signal strength and
low call arrival rate with maximum Link Expiration Time is selected as a proper one for
performing handoff process. Here can defeat the overhead due to the handoff by a
specified base station. To can increase the high availability or life time of a network and
avoid unnecessary handoff, traffic collision by using these three parameters. Adaptive
Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used to train the network to initiate and
execute the handoff.

ENHANCED DYNAMIC HIERARCHICAL
REPLICATION STRATEGY FOR REDUCING ACCESS
LATENCY OF JOB SCHEDULING IN GRID COMPUTING

Dept of Computer Science And Engineering,
Tamilnadu, India.

ABSTRACT
Grid technology, which together a number of personal computer clusters with high speed
networks, can reach the same computing power as a supercomputer does, also with a minimum
cost. However, heterogeneous system is called as grid. Scheduling independent tasks on grid is
more difficult. In order to utilize the power of grid completely, we demand an efficient job
scheduling algorithm to execute jobs to resources in a grid. The Data Grid provides massive
aggregated computing resources and distributed storage space to deal with data-intensive
applications. Due to the limitation of available resources in the grid as well as construction of
huge volumes of data, efficient usage of the Grid resources becomes a significant challenge. In
previous work develop the Adaptive Scoring Job Scheduling algorithm (ASJS) for the grid
environment. In that algorithm is not suitable for replication technique. Data replication is a key
optimization technique for reducing access latency and managing large data by storing data in a
wise manner. Effective scheduling in the Grid can reduce the amount of data transferred between
nodes by submitting a job to a node where most of the requested data files are available. The
proposed system uses dynamic data replication strategy, called Enhanced DynamicHierarchical
Replication (EDHR) that improves file access time. This strategy is an enhanced version of the
Dynamic Hierarchical Replication strategy. It uses an economic model for file deletion when
there is not enough space for the replica node. So our proposed system finds the replicate
detection of files with different cluster structure representation of the input files. We combine the
replica strategy with ASJS algorithm for efficiently decrease the completion time of submitted
jobs, which may consist of computing-intensive jobs and data-intensive jobs.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY IN MANET BY
IMPROVING PACKET DELIVERY RATIO
Mr. R. Karthik,Ramitha.M. A.,
SVS college of Engineering, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India

ABSTRACT
Mobile ad hoc networks are infrastructure less, battery powered networks formed
dynamically according to the problems arise due to the damage of in certain situations.
These networks are formed with a large number of mobile nodes to establish
communication media until infrastructure is restored. Each node in the network is power
driven and the conservation of energy in each node plays an important role in these
networks. The frequent recharge or replacement of battery is very difficult as each node
moves in the network. The silence of a node is a major issue in certain emergency
situations such as military operations and rescue operations. By selecting a node with
highest residual energy to transfer message enables the nodes with less energy to
conserve their energy. The use of lightweight mechanisms improves the packet delivery
ratio. As dropped packets retransmitted from previous node of the congested node, the
energy of the nodes from the source up to the previous node (replier) of the congested
node get conserved. The simulation result shows that the proposed work improved the
packet delivery ratio and it also conserves energy of nodes in the network especially from
the source to the replier node.

Rinkumol Kuriakose, R.Tamilarasu
SVS College of Engineering, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu.

ABSTRACT
Recently personal health record became patient-centric model. Patient centric
model allows a patient to create, manage and control personal health data. By this the
storage, retrieval and sharing of the medical information became more efficient. PHR
contains sensitive data that should be protected from unauthorized parties. The security in
the third party servers like cloud storage are less. Cloud storage is a semi trusted storage
which a patient has to trust fully to store their information. The one way to protect PHR
data is to encrypt data before out sourcing. The PHR can be accessed by the multiple
authorities, so here introduces a fine-grained attribute based access control in which each
party is assigned with access permission for a set of attributes. Division of personal health
records users into multiple security domains which reduce key management complexity
for owners and users.

ABSTRACT
Data owners outsource their complex data management systems from local sites to
commercial public space for great flexibility and economic savings. However, the
sensitive data should be kept extremely private from the users. Thus, every datum is
needed to be encrypted before outsourcing the data. Also, the search and utilization of the
outsourced data should be easier. An effective data retrieval need is met with the server,
which performs result relevant ranking to give back the most relevant information. This is
done by a principle named coordinate matching, which is used to capture the similarity
between the search query and data documents. Existing system focuses on single keyword
search or Boolean keyword search, which cannot serve the purpose and also no
differentiation among the results, are done. In this work, every keyword of the users
query is taken into consideration and the ranked relevant information is provided, based
on coordinate matching. User can download the data, only with the activation code that is
sent through email. Thus, the privacy is also preserved.

ABSTRACT
Vehicular communication networks, there is no trusted third party or a central
authority.It is also unsecured for vehicle-to-vehicle and Vehicle-to- infrastructure
communication because, although the infrastructure is connected to a trusted central
server, the key distribution procedure is not secure, particularly if the secret keys are
distributed through wireless channel.The system is designed to create secret keys for
Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications. In
this paper, we propose two key agreement algorithmsfor V2V and V2I, respectively. The
first algorithm allows two legitimate users (vehicles) to derive a common secret key
through an information-theoretic manner. The second algorithm uses the channel
diversity property to generate a secret key between a central server and the individual
user.

ABSTRACT
The awareness of sensor localization is very essential for many applications in
Wireless Sensor Networks. When sensor nodes are deployed in antagonistic environments
they are subjected to many attacks. Therefore the sensor locations are not reliable and
need to be confirmed before they can be used by locality based applications. Light weight
location confirmation algorithms are used to provide location confirmation. They are on
spot and in region location confirmation algorithms. These algorithms detect anomalous
locations by exploring the inconsistencies between sensors claimed locations and their
neighbourhood observations. The in region confirmation is used to determine whether a
sensor is within a geological region. The on spot confirmation verifies whether the
estimated locations claimed by the sensors are at an assured distance from their accurate
locations. The in region confirmation algorithm is more tolerable to errors than on spot
algorithm. These algorithms are light weight and neither requires the deployment of
classy or dedicated hardware nor the exploitation knowledge of sensors. So these
algorithms can be used for resource limited and low cost sensor networks.

ABSTRACT
Hadoop is used to simplify the development of parallel data-intensive computing
applications for ordinary users. The combination of Hadoop and cloud computing
made large-scale parallel data-intensive computing much more accessible to all
potential users than ever before. Hadoop has become the most popular data
management framework for parallel data-intensive computing in the clouds.The
proposed scheme is based on an optimal minimum make span algorithm. It projects
and compares the completion times of all task slots next data block, and explicitly
strives to shorten the completion time of the map phase of MapReduce jobs. To
evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme compared with the Hadoop scheme
in two types of heterogeneous computing environments that are typical on the public
cloud platforms.
The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme could remarkably
reduce the map phase completion time, and it could reduce the amount of remote
processing employed to a more significant extent which makes the data processing less
vulnerable to both network congestion and disk contention.

ABSTRACT
Cloud computing is an internet based computing which enables sharing of
services. Storing our data in cloud may not be fully trustworthy. Since client doesnt have
copy of all stored data, he has to depend on Cloud Service Provider. This work studies the
problem of ensuring the integrity and security of data storage in Cloud Computing. This
paper, proposes an effective and flexible Batch Audit scheme with dynamic data support
to reduce the computation overheads. To ensure the correctness of users data the task of
allowing a third party auditor (TPA), on behalf of the cloud client, to verify the integrity
of the data stored in the cloud. We consider symmetric encryption for effective utilization
of outsourced cloud data under the model, it achieve the storage security in multi cloud
data storage. The new scheme further supports secure and efficient dynamic operations on
data blocks, including data insertion, update, delete and replacement. Extensive security
and performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme is highly efficient and resilient
against Byzantine failure, malicious data modification attack, and even server colliding
attacks.

ABSTRACT
Differential power analysis (DPA) in cryptography, is a side channel attack which
involves statistically analyzing power consumption measurements from a crypto
system(such as smart card, tamper-resistant black box or integrated circuit).The attack
can non-invasively extract cryptographic keys and other secret information from the
device. Several methods have been proposed in literatures to resist the DPA attack in
cryptographic device, but they largely increase hardware cost and severely degrade the
throughput. To increase DPA resistant of the AES engine, this paper presents a
countermeasure circuit which includes a bit swapping linear feedback shift register(BS-
LFSR) that is based on some new observations about the output sequence of a
conventional LFSR. It ensures the safe and secured encryption and reduction in area
occupied by the countermeasure circuit and power consumption.

ABSTRACT
In Recent trends, all peoples are aware about the mobile phone and it utilities by
different ways. Example: Communication, GPRS, Entertainment, etc. By the extend use
of mobile phones we have to improve the function in both soft ware and hard ware. We
would like to propose a model based on the scope of power consumption. A worn out
battery or a lost charge is the two difficulties every mobile user goes through. To
overcome this we have to propose a new technology can be adopted to charge the mobile
phones with the help of human speech, nano scale vibrations in human body, room and
human body temperature in to electrical energy. The changing sound in to electricity
allowing a mobile to be powered up while its user has conservation over it We are using
microphone type transducer with help this only we coveting voice signal in to electrical
signal. Silicon nanowires that convert heat into electricity using a thermoelectric effect,
one possible use of these is to charge portable devices. The wires could be simply be knit
as the panel of cell phone and thus the panel could become a charging station. Using the
body temperature and room temperature as the source of energy, it could generate the
electricity.

ABSTRACT
This paper aims at providing virtual environment using hand gestures. Here we
convert a normal plain surface into a touch sensitive surface without any physical
circuitry. This touch sensitive surface gives a gesture sensitive environment. A gesture is
a motion which performs an action. A gesture motion is detected using a simple camera.
Other hardware requirements are the Beagle board which is a mini version of a PC and
a projector. In this approach, recognition algorithms based on hand contours are used to
exclude unnecessary regions of interest. These Hand contours are verified using HU
Moments. The hand contours are improved by differentiating the external contours and
holes. The holes are then filled to obtain an image. The resultant image is compared with
predefined image frames stored in the memory. Depending on the recognized output
gesture, several states and functionalities have been defined for the entire system. The
LINUX XLIB library is used to achieve these functionalities. The actions executed are
left click, right click and double click. This method also provides simple and fast motion
detection. It has its applications in power point presentations, displaying videos, playing
games and also in medical field.

ABSTRACT
Measurement of vital signs in a human is an arduous task when sudden dizziness or
fainting occurs during unexpected situations. The only information that we are aware of is that
these occurrences are the most common symptoms of low blood pressure. Blood pressure, the
amount of force applied on the walls of the arteries when the blood is forced throughout the body,
depends on factors such as the amount of blood in the body, the pumping rate of the heart, the
flexibility of the Arterial walls, and the resistance to blood flow due to the size of the arteries. The
blood pressure of a human varies continuously due to physical activity, medication, anxiety, and
emotions. The body has unique mechanisms to regulate a persons blood flow;whenever a
persons blood pressure drops, the heart rate increases to pump more blood and the arterial walls
contract to increase the blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically measured using a mercury
sphygmomanometer. However, to check a persons blood pressure during unexpected situations,
there is a need for a portable, convenient device or apparatus. We hereby propose a portable
instrument based blood pressure estimation technique. In other words, we replace the traditional
cuff and stethoscope traditionally used for blood pressure measurement, by recording the heart
sounds and finger pulse in two ways: 1) employing the microphone and ecg recording system, and
2) a customized external microphone and a single analog signal logger. Finger pulse is recorded
by implementing photo plethysmography technology.The estimation technique consists of three
phases. The first phase involves locating an appropriate spot on the chest for recording heart
sounds. This audio data are used to calculate the heart rate. The second phase consists of two
methods for recording. In the first method, two clock synchronized signal loggers are used, one
for recording the heart sounds and other for recording finger pulse. In the second method, we use
a single standalone data logger with an external microphone for recording both heart sounds and
finger pulls. The third phase, i.e., the blood pressure estimation phase involves calculation of
systolic pressure, pulse pressure, and the diastolic pressure using the data measured.

ABSTRACT
The need for ultra-low-power, area efficient and high speed analog-to-digital
converters is pushing toward the use of dynamic regenerative comparators to maximize
speed and power efficiency. In this paper, an analysis on the delay of thedynamic
comparators will be presented and analytical expressions are derived. From the analytical
expressions, designers can obtain an intuition about the main contributors to the
comparator delay and fully explore the tradeoffs in dynamic comparator design. Based on
the presented analysis, a new dynamic comparator is proposed, where the circuit of a
conventional double-tail comparator is modified for low-power and fast operation even in
small supply voltages. Without complicating the design and by adding few transistors, the
positive feedback during the regeneration is strengthened, which results in remarkably
reduced delay time. Post-layout simulation results in a 0.18-m CMOS technology
confirm the analysis results. It is shown that in the proposed dynamic comparator both the
power consumption and delay time are significantly reduced. The maximum clock
frequency of the proposed comparator can be increased to 2.5 and 1.1 GHz at supply
voltages of 1.2 and 0.6 V, while consuming 1.4 mW and 153 W, respectively. The
standard deviation of the input-referred offset is 7.8 mV at 1.2 V supply.

ABSTRACT
Monitoring and control of greenhouse environment play an important role in
greenhouse production and management. To monitor the greenhouse environment parameters
effectively, it is necessary to design a measurement and control system. The objective of this
project is to design a simple, easy to install, microcontroller-based circuit to monitor and
record the values of temperature, humidity, soil moisture and sunlight of the natural
environment that are continuously modified and controlled in order optimize them to achieve
maximum plant growth and yield. The need to deploy several mobile sensors in each
greenhouse has pushed toward the use of WSNs. Among the different possibilities, we have
chosen a ZigBee-based network on the account of several useful features it offers, such as low
cost, small dimensions, suitable range and very small power requirements. The last feature is
really very attractive for a WSN, as it guarantees a long battery life and reduces the
maintenance requirements. we use suitable sensors to measure the parameters such as
temperature, humidity, light and soil moisture of the green house and it is connected using
Zigbee-based network at a frequency of 2.4Ghz with data transmission rates vary from 20 to
900 kilobits/second and the status is constantly informed to the production house using GSM
technology.

ABSTRACT:
Present a tool to estimate the interference between nodes and links in a live
wireless network by active monitoring of wireless passage. This tool does not require any
forced experiments, shot of probe traffic in the network, or even access to the network
nodes. PMT approach requires deploy multiple sniffers across the network to capture
wireless passage traces. These traces are then analyzed using a machine learning
approach to infer the carrier-sense relationship between network nodes.
This coupled with an estimation of crash probabilities helps us to deduce the
interference relationships. Also show a significant application of this tool-detection of
selfish carrier-sense behavior. This is based on identifying any irregularity in carrier-
sense behavior between node pairs and finding multiple witnesses to lift self-assurance.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the tool for both the applications using extensive
experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach of estimating
interference relations is significantly more accurate than simpler heuristics and quite
competitive with active capacity.
Also validate the approach in a real Wireless LAN environment. Evaluations
using a real test bed as well as studies demonstrate excellent detection ability of the
selfish behavior. On the other hand, the metric of self-interest used to estimate self-
centred behavior matches closely with actual degree of self-interest observed.

saranyamp16@gmail.com.

ABSTRACT
In this brief, a low-complexity, low-memory requirement, and high-quality
algorithm is proposed for VLSI implementation of an image scaling processor. The
proposed image scaling algorithm consists of a sharpening spatial filter, a clamp filter,
and a bilinear interpolation. To reduce the blurring and aliasing artifacts produced by the
bilinear interpolation, the sharpening spatial and clamp filters are added as pre-filters. To
minimize the memory buffers and computing resources for the proposed image processor
design, a T-model and inversed T-model convolution kernels are created for realizing the
sharpening spatial and clamp filters. Furthermore, two T-model or inversed T-model
filters are combined into a combined filter which requires only a one-line-buffer memory.
Moreover, a reconfigurable calculation unit is invented for decreasing the hardware cost
of the combined filter. Moreover, the computing resource and hardware cost of the
bilinear interpolator can be efficiently reduced by an algebraic manipulation and
hardware sharing techniques. The VLSI architecture in this work can achieve 280 MHz
with 6.08-K gate counts, and its core area is 30 378 m2 synthesized by a 0.13-m
CMOS process. Compared with previous low-complexity techniques, this work reduces
gate counts by more than 34.4% and requires only a one-line-buffer memory.

ABSTRACT
The object tracking scheme generally employs surveillance and location
estimation. Surveillance is usually carried out using video cameras. At present, GPS is the
most popular and efficient outdoor location estimation system .It cannot be used indoors
because radio waves from satellites do not penetrate into buildings. Laser-range scanners
which can be used in indoors cannot cover wide areas because of the cost problem. This
paper describes an object tracking scheme that employs sensor fusion approach which is
composed of visual information and location information estimated from Wi-Fi signals.
Different from the conventional approaches which use another kind of sensors, our
approach can cover wider areas both indoor and outdoor with lower cost because of
characteristics of Wi-Fi signals. Location information is calculated by a set of received
signal strength values of beacon packets from Wi-Fi access points around the targets.
Sensor nodes are installed at various positions in and around the surveillance camera,
where each sensor node will be provided with an IP address. Sensor nodes can be
imagined as small computers, extremely basic in terms of their interfaces and their
components. Thus a Wi-Fi router detects each sensor node in a unique manner and this in
turn communicates with the Client server. There are two types of positioning systems
over wireless networks. One is called time difference of arrival (TDOA), the other is
called received signal strength identifier

Search of knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
Technology variesexponentially with centuries. As the clock ticks, technology
picks. In the world arena GPS technology is moving to its peak position.
In this paper we reveal how the latest developments and applications of the fields
like G.P.S. (Global Positioning System), sensors, fiber optical networking systems,
software and the database management systems etc. can be combined together in a proper

ABSTRACT
In modern world we are using image processing in many fields like medicine,
military, aerospace, even in cinematography field etc. In all over world scientists and
researchers are interested in space research like mars investigations etc. Though the high
quality equipments and image generating tools are used in such operations, still there is a
distortion in such images like noise, blurriness. In order to avoid such distortion image
processing has been developed and used in space researches. This technique is not only
used in space field but also used in other commercial purpose. Unknowingly we are using
the image processing in means of face detection in digital cameras, finger print detection,
etc. Here by the neural networks has been introduced into image processing in order to
produce the best image quality and absolute detection and recognition. First of all the
artificial neural network means the technique which has been used for improving the
output for given input which ,may be a analogue or digital. Image processing at times can
experience some unusual errors. If the ANN (artificial neural networks) used in the image
processing the machine will learn itself to correct the problem. The main concept of ANN
is to provide artificial intelligence to the computer or system performing the specific and
desired tasks. This paper will be clearly explaining the concept of how the ANN can be
used in image processing to improve the quality of the output. More terminologies in
ANN and IP have to be revelled in this paper.

double gate mosfet based on vgs but the short channel characteristics of double gate
mosfet get improved. Double gate MOSFET is mostly recommended for low power and
high performance application. When compared with bulk Si single gate device ,the total
power utilization of inverter, static, dynamic circuit and latch by using double gate
demonstrates that leakage current and delay reduced by a factor of over 10x.

ABSTRACT
Modern method of static frequency conversion has liberated the induction motor
from its historical role as a fixed speed machine. Scalar control of Induction Machine is
one of the very useful and simple techniques of speed controlling. Here, the V/f ratio is
maintained constant in order to get constant torque over the entire operating range. For
controlling voltage & frequency of Induction Motor in proper ratio, Voltage Source
Inverter appropriate control technique is necessary. The speed control of induction motor
is more important to achieve maximum torque and efficiency. The present work presents
a rule-based fuzzy logic controller applied to a scalar closed loop Volts/Hz induction
motor (IM) control with slip regulation and its simulation results. A Fuzzy Logic
Controller which improves the performance of scalar control of Induction Machine has
been proposed. The method uses a new linguistic rule table to adjust the motor speed.
Thus with Fuzzy Logic Controller a good system performance of the scalar controlled
Induction Motor drive is achieved. Linear Proportional Integral & derivative (PID)
control is not a well established control method in motor drive because of the nonlinearity
of induction motor. Fuzzy logic controller has the capability to control nonlinear,
uncertain systems even in the case where no mathematical model is available for the
control system. Index terms: fuzzy logic controller, induction motor speed control.

ABSTRACT
With the growing global demand of green energy, the conversion of renewable
energy sources into useful DC or AC power for residential and industrial applications is
becoming more popular. To design and develop economic, high-efficient, compact and
light weight power conversion systems is still a subject of research. Now-a-days, Power
Electronic devices of smaller size are inevitable, which causes the switching frequency to
jump from KHz to MHz range. The switching devices are made to turn on and turn off at
high di/dt for the entire load current, and also to withstand high voltage stress across
them. Due to these two effects, there occur increased power losses in the converters thus
it reduces the efficiency significantly. In this paper a soft-switched low stress zero-
voltage transition (ZVT) pulse width modulated (PWM) buck converter is proposed. Its
operation modes are identified and analyzed. The developed converter can reduce the
high voltage and high current stresses caused by the high input voltage across the
resonant capacitor in the Zero Current Switching (ZCS) and Zero Voltage Switching
(ZVS) converters. The proposed converter simulated in PSIM software and simulation
results and waveforms for the proposed converter are presented. In addition, the proposed
ZVT buck converter is compared with ZVS resonant buck-converter and the switching
losses are compared under the same operating conditions and results are presented.

POWER SYSTEM

Anna University -Regional Center, Coimbatore.
selvaias@yahoo.co.in

ABSTRACT
A multiple-input converter based on a boost topology is presented that has lower
in-put current ripple and therefore is suitable for the large current applications such as
hybrid vehicles. Another three input boost converter that interfaces two unidirectional
input ports and one bidirectional port is presented for a hybrid PV/FC/battery system.
Two types of decoupling networks are introduced based on the utilization state of the
battery. A multi-input single-ended primary-inductor converter with a bidirectional input
is proposed. This converter is suitable for the hybrid system that incorporates energy
storage elements such as ultra capacitors. However, lack of voltage gain extension cells
makes the converters difficult to be used in a high step-up application. Moreover, for the
converters, the operation mode has to be changed after a transition between charging and
discharging occurs. This would increase the complexity of the control scheme and might
reduce the reliability of the system. A time-sharing multiple-input converter using active
clamping technique is proposed

ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a seven level Z-source multilevel inverter designed with three
intermediate Z-source networks connected between the dc input source and inverter
circuit. Multilevel inverters posses the advantage of reduced harmonics, high-power
capability and high-voltage level but switching losses are more due to the increased
switching circuit. Switching losses can be minimized by either soft switching techniques
or by modifying modulation technique by employing sinusoidal PWM-based techniques.
The multicarrier pulse width modulation Cascaded multilevel inverter strategy enhances
the fundamental output voltage and reduces total harmonic distortion. In this paper

ABSTRACT
In power systems, there exists a continuous challenge to improve dynamic
performance of power system. The Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) is a
power electronic based device that has the capability of controlling the power flow
through a line. This study applies the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) to
control the power flow during dynamic period. To verify the effect of the STATCOM on
dynamic performance, the mathematical model and control strategy of a STATCOM are
needed to be presented. The converters of STATCOM are represented by variable voltage
source with associate transformer leakage reactance and the voltage source and the
reactance are transformed into current injection. The current injection model of
STATCOM are modeled into power flow equation and thus it has used to determine
control strategy. This study applies the PI control to determine the control strategy of
STATCOM. The Harmonics elimination and THD values are arrived and displayed in
results using MATLAB Simulink.

ABSTRACT
Now-a-days efficient video compression techniques are essential in order to make
digital video applications feasible. A new approach to the video coding techniques is
introduced here. For the efficient video transmission the Set Partitioning In Hierarchical
Trees (SPIHT) algorithm is used. The three dimensional (3-D) SPIHT coder has proved
its efficiency and its real-time capability in compression of video. Since Three
Dimensional spatio-temporal orientation trees coupled with powerful SPIHT sorting and
refinement, it provides comparable performance to H.263 standard videos. The 3D
wavelet transform (WT) algorithm is based on the Group Of Frames (GOF) concept.
The group of frames are decomposed both temporally and spatially. The decomposition
process utilizes the wavelet filters. The transform coefficients are coded using Three
Dimensional Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (3-D SPIHT). In the reconstruction
phase, the 3-D SPIHT decoding algorithm and the inverse wavelet transform are
employed, respectively.

engineerskannan@gmail.com,kayeee91@gmail.com

ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a dc power supply system to give high power factor and
low current distortion on the rectifier side and provide stable dc voltage on the isolated
dc/dc converter side. The proposed dc power supply system uses a new zero-voltage
switching (ZVS) strategy to get ZVS function. Besides operating at constant
frequency, all semiconductor devices operate at soft switching without additional
voltage stress. A significant reduction in the conduction losses is achieved, since the
circulating current for the soft-switching flows only through the auxiliary circuit and a
minimum number of switching devices are involved in the circulating current path, and
the rectifier in the proposed dc power supply system uses a single converter instead of
the conventional configuration composed of a four-diode front-end rectifier followed
by a boost converter. An average-current-mode control is employed in proposed dc
power supply system to detect the transition time and synthesize a suitable low
harmonics sinusoidal waveform for the input current. A design example of 1000-W
soft-switching single-phase dc power supply system is examined to assess the
converter Performance.

ABSTRACT
To ensure the greatest possible protection for employees in the workplace, the
cooperative efforts of both employers and employees will help in establishing and
maintaining a safe and healthful work environment. In general, employers should provide
better safety equipments for their employees and also check whether they have worn it
properly, in order to avoid loss of skilled workers lives. In this paper proposed we provide
a novel idea to ensure that the safety equipments are worn properly by the workforce by
using a device. This device is developed by using the RFID and Zigbee technologies
interfaced with 8051 microcontroller. The workers carrying this device detects the
presence of safety equipments such as helmet, gloves, boots etc. and sends a report to the
controller section. This device also intimates the worker that he has not worn the safety
equipment properly. Also presence of combustible gases is detected using Gas sensor. An
emergency alert is sent to the controller if the worker presses the emergency button. Thus,
this project provides better device to ensure safety of the workers in the industry. Report
is given to a central unit where alerts and historical data are generated. It is useful in all
industries ranging from mining industry, production industry, chemical industry and

ABSTRACT
This paper presents change detection approach for synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
images based on an image fusion and a spatial fuzzy clustering algorithm. NSCT (Non-

minimum local area energy are chosen to fuse the contourlet coefficients for a low-
frequency band and a high-frequency band, respectively to restrain the background
information and enhance the information of changed regions in the fused difference
image. A fuzzy local-information C- means clustering algorithm will be proposed for
classifying changed and unchanged regions in the fused difference image. It incorporates
the information about spatial context in a novel fuzzy way for the purpose of enhancing
the changed information and of reducing the effect of speckle noise.For the remote
sensing images, differencing (subtraction operator) and rationing (ratio operator) are well-
known techniques for producing a difference image. difference image for change
detection using spatial fuzzy clustering approach and efficiency of this algorithm will be
exhibited by sensitivity and correlation evaluation.

ABSTRACT
Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) has been defined by the IEEE as a
power electronic based system and other static equipment that provide control of one or
more AC transmission system parameters to enhance controllability and increase power
transfer capability. Nowadays, FACTS are being increasingly used in power systems, to
enhance the system utilization and power transfer capacity as well as the stability,
security, reliability and power quality of AC system interconnections. In general, FACTS
controllers can be divided into three categories:1. Series controllers,2. Shunt controllers 3.
Combined series-shunt controllers. Among FACTS controllers, the shunt controllers have
widely been used because of their problem-solving capabilities from transmission to
distribution levels. It is well known that by using appropriate amount of compensated
reactive current or power, the transmitted power carrying capacity can be increased and
the voltage profile of the transmission line can be controlled. Also, shunt controllers can
improve transient stability, and damp power oscillations for the interconnected
transmission networks. For distribution networks, they are mainly used for the purposes
of power factor correction, flicker mitigation, load balancing and harmonic mitigation.

brinscivil@gmail.com
ABSTRACT
Concrete is the most widely used man-made construction material in the world,
and is second only to water as the most utilized substance on the planet. The strength,
durability and other characteristics of concrete depends upon the properties of its
ingredients, in the proportions of mix, the method of compaction and other controls
during placing, compaction and curing. In that the rheological or flow properties of
concrete are important because many factors such as ease of placement, consolidation,
durability, and strength depend on the flow properties. In general, concrete which follows
Bingham model has two main parameters namely yield stress and plastic viscosity. These
two main parameters are the rheological properties needed to quantitatively characterize
the flow of fresh concrete.
Concrete structures which are the practical importance are those concerning its
strength, durability, shrinkage and creep etc. Of these, the strength of concrete assumes a
greater significance because the strength is related to the structure of hardened cement
paste and gives an overall picture of the quality of concrete.
The durability of concrete is one that performs satisfactorily under anticipated
exposure conditions during its service life span. The material and mix proportions used
should be such as to maintain its integrity and, if applicable, to protect embedded metal
from corrosion.
In this project the strength and durability of concrete has to be investigated with
the use of their rheological property. So here various tests are going to conducted
regarding to its strength and durability.

ABSTRACT
Composite floor systems constructed with cold formed corrugated steel decking
covered with concrete are emerging trend in current construction practices for medium to
high rise buildings as worldwide. But it is a chicken egg situation because since right
kind of profiled sheets were not available in India and its use was not visible in
construction. There is presently no Indian standard covering the design of composite floor
systems using profiled sheeting. Hence the aim of the research is to carry out
experimental investigation on steel concrete composite floor system with profiled deck.
In this study the experimental investigation on the ultimate load carrying capacity
of steel and concrete composite floor with trapezoidal decking sheet will be carried out.
A RC floor slab of dimensions as same as that of the composite slab will be carried out.
Comparison of the load carrying capacity of the two slabs will be drawn in order to make
the composite construction in an easier manner.

GREEN STABILIZATION OF EXPANSIVE SOIL WITH
NATURAL FIBERS

haridevravi@gmail.com, g_santhoshkumar@cb.amrita.edu
ABSTRACT
Soft clay deposits pose major threat to the geotechnical engineers because of poor
strength and high compressibility and cannot be neglected as these predominantly
distributed all over the world. Expansive soil, also called shrink-swell soil, is a very
common cause of foundation problems. Foundation soils which are expansive will
heave and can cause lifting of a building or other structure during periods of high
moisture. Conversely during periods of falling soil moisture, expansive soil will
collapse and can result in settlement. Either way, damage can be extensive.
The concept of stabilizing soil with various materials has been widely accepted in
engineering practice. Stabilizing of soil using fibers has been a subject of research for a
long time. This concept is used to decrease the expansion of clay soil. In general, various
materials based on their availability, performance and economy, are used in the industry
to overcome the difficulties of expansive soils. Natural fibers are found to be more eco-
friendly option for such engineering application. Hence, in this project the effect of a
conventional material (lime) along with a natural fibers (banana plant fiber and coconut
fiber) on the properties of expansive soil, available at Coimbatore, has been carefully
studied and reported.

ABSTRACT
Geopolymer concrete (GPC) are representing the most promising green and eco-

relatively good mechanical properties and desirable thermal stability but they exhibit
failure behaviour similar to brittle solids. This limitation may be remedied by fibre
reinforcement to improve their flexural strength. This paper presents results of an
experimental program on the mechanical properties such as density, compressive
strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural behaviour of Fibre Reinforced
Geopolymer Concrete (FRGPC). FRGPC contains flyash, alkaline liquids, fine aggregate,
coarse aggregate and glass fibre. Alkaline liquid to fly ash ratio was fixed as 0.45 with
100% replacement of OPC. For alkaline liquid combination, ratio of sodium silicate to
sodium hydroxide solution was fixed as 2.5. Glass fibre was added to the mix in volume
fractions of 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03% and 0.04% by volume of concrete. Specimens were
subjected to 24 hours of Heat curing at 70C in heat curing chamber. The effect of fibre
content on the mechanical properties and flexural behaviour of FRGPC was studied and
compared it with ordinary Geopolymer Concrete (GPC)

ABSTRACT
Cement is one of major construction materials used in modern buildings and
infrastructure around the world. The increase in cement consumption will raise
environmental concern. Evaluation of manufacturing cement impact on environment
could be associated with two environmental parameters i.e., climate change and fossil
fuel depletion. The production of 1 tonne of cement directly generates 0.55 tonne of
chemical CO
2
and requires the combustion of carbon fuel to yield another 0.45 tonne of
CO
2
. As the need of cement is increased, so the contribution of CO
2
emission from
cement manufacturers is also increased. Being concern with those environmental impacts,
attempt had been done to reduce the use of cement.
Alternatives environmentally friendly materials that could substitute cement both
partially or totally have been developed using waste materials such as fly ash and GGBS.
Geopolymer concrete results from the reaction of a source material that is rich in silica
and alumina with alkaline liquid. In this paper fresh and mechanical properties of fly ash
and GGBS based geopolymer concrete has been carried out and the flexural behavior of
room temperature cured Geopolymer Concrete Beams has been determined.

ABSTRACT
The deterioration rate of geopolymer concrete specimens when exposed to
aggressive environment was low and the specimens were stable when compared to plain
ordinary Portland cement concrete. Attention was paid upon the durability of glass fibre
reinforced geopolymer concrete specimens, manufactured using low calcium class F
Indian fly ash, exposed to 10% concentration of sulfuric acid attack and chloride attack
for a period of 3 days. 100 mm x 100 mm cross-section and 500 mm long beams
with 1% tensile reinforcement were cast. For water absorption test, 100 mm x 100 mm x
100 mm cubes were cast. Glass fibres were added to the concrete mix as 0.01%, 0.02%,
0.03% and 0.04% to the volume of concrete. Glass fibre reinforced geopolymer concrete

ABSTRACT
The demand for lightweight building materials has been growing worldwide. This
paper presents an investigation on the use of renewable resources such as waste rice husk
ash (RHA) and expanded polystyrene beads (EPS) beads as alternative raw materials for
the production of lightweight concrete bricks. The RHA is used as partial cement
replacement while waste EPS is used as partial aggregate replacement in the mixes.
The key properties for the concrete bricks namely density, compressive strength,
compliance for dimension and thermal conductivity were investigated. Fire performance
of expanded polystyrene/geopolymer concrete assessed by a cone calorimeter and
reaction to fire characteristics methods was below the limits prescribed in the BS EN:
476 and ISO: 5660- 1: 2002 and exhibiting no support to growth of the fire. However, it
was noted that heat release rate and effective heat of combustion of expanded
polystyrene concrete were higher than the control due to inclusion of expanded
polystyrene bead aggregates in the mix. The thermal conductivity was reduced by 27-
50% when expanded polystyrene beads were added in the geopolymer mixes to a level
of 0.5-3% by wt. The properties of expanded polystyrene/geopolymer concrete were also
compared with the existing guidelines.

ABSTRACT
Cold-Formed Steel structural members are of growing importance. It
is composed of section, cold formed from steel sheet, strip, and plate (or) flat bar in roll-
forming machines (or) by press brake or bending brake operation. The thickness of steel
sheet (or) strip generally used in cold-formed steel structural members ranges from
0.378mm to 6.35mm. In this paper, structural behavior of cold-formed steel lipped C
channel beams due to lateral buckling of beams and load carrying capacity is evaluated.
A unique test setup is fabricated for the transverse loading and testing. Arrangements are
made to define the restraint of warping and torsional boundary conditions, 6 specimens of
3m length with varying d/t ratios are tested for lateral- torsional buckling. Vertical and
lateral deflections are recorded using LVDTs and making use of the data acquisition
system.Couponsare tested to determine the material properties. Load vs deflection curves
are drawn.This is followed through Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS software the
experimental results are compared with FEA results.

ABSTRACT
The present structural engineers are often not familiar with fire safety issues, and fire
protection design is currently being overlooked by structural consultants in building projects. The
structural design codes recommend nominal cover, minimum dimensions, etc., for fire exposed
structural elements. However, there are no separate codes for fire resistant design of members.
Concrete elements exposed to fire experience temperature gradients and, as a result, undergo
physical changes or spalling, thereby exposing steel reinforcement. The structural property of
concrete that has been most widely studied as a function of temperature exposure is compressive
strength. Relatively few studies have been undertaken on flexural strength of reinforced cement
concrete (RCC) beams. Experimental study on thermal properties is both time and cost consuming
and also highly risky. This limits the possibilities of an extensive study. Therefore, this study was
carried out to generate analytical data on flexural behavior of heated RCC beams thereby
providing the possibility of making an extensive study on thermal behavior under a lot of
parameters such as heating conditions, grade and cover distances.
In this project the concrete beam model is generated in ANSYS 11 and is analyzed under
temperature loads for deflection, stresses and strain. Since, the behavior of concrete is non-linear;
the non-linear behavioral properties are also incorporated into the model and are solved using a
coupled thermal structural analysis method. A reduction of strength and increase in deflection
were observed when temperature loads were introduced in the model geometry. With increase in
cover improved strength was observed but excessive deflection was noted which can be
interpreted as spalling in real cases. A slight increase in strength was also noted in some of the
heating conditions at lower temperatures around 300

C

ABSTRACT

Steel slag is an industrial byproduct obtained from the steel manufacturing
Industry. It is produced in large quantities during the steel-making operations which
Utilize Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF). Steel slag can also be produced by smelting iron ore
in the Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF). Steel slag can be used in the construction industry as
aggregates in concrete by replacing natural aggregates. Natural aggregates are becoming
increasingly scarce and their production and shipment is becoming more difficult. Steel
slag is currently used as aggregate in hot mix asphalt surface applications, but there is a
need for some additional work to determine the feasibility of utilizing this industrial by-
product more wisely as a replacement for both fine and coarse aggregates in a
conventional concrete mixture. Most of the volume of concrete is aggregates. Replacing
all or some portion of natural aggregates with steel slag would lead to considerable
environmental benefits. The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the durability of
concrete made with steel slag aggregates. This research has shown that replacing some
percentage of natural aggregates by steel slag aggregates causes negligible degradation in
strength. It is shown that as the amount of steel slag is increased beyond 75%; the
workability of the concrete mixture became an important issue which eventually requires
larger amounts of water reducing admixtures to achieve a minimum slump. The results
showed that replacing about 50 to 75% of steel slagAggregates by weight for natural
aggregates will not do any harm to concrete and also it will not have any adverse effects
on the strength and durability.

ABSTRACT
Coimbatore is one of the most popular cities in the state of Tamil Nadu in India
the population of which depends almost on buses. But bus services being inadequate are
heavily over-crowded. This situation led to usage of personalized vehicles so much, so
that Coimbatore has more registered vehicle than the total number of vehicles in many
south Indian cities when compared to it. This paper presents the results of the traffic
volume study conducted in the Ukkadam to Malumichampatty route which is one of the
key bus routes of Coimbatore city. The ArcGIS software is used to interpret the data
collected and alternate solutions are suggested for reducing congestion for the route
selected.

ABSTRACT
The Class F fly ash has been subjected to high energy ball milling and has been
converted into nano- structured material. Measurement of surface free energy as well as
work of adhesion found that it increased with increased duration of ball milling. The
crystallite was reduced from 36.22 nm to 23.01 nm for quartz and from 33.72 nm to
16.38 nm for mullite during ball milling to 60 h. % crystallinity reduced from 35% to
16% during 60 h of ball milling because of destruction of quartz and hematite crystals
and the nano structured fly ash is found to be more amorphous. Morphological studies
revealed that the surface of the nano structured fly ash is more uneven and rough and
shape is irregular, as compared to fresh fly ash which are mostly spherical in shape. Fly
ash can also be a replacing material, normally an environmental polluting waste, which
is a byproduct from the combustion of coal, improves the strength of concrete. It has
pozzolonic properties. Which gives good cementious nature.By replacing it by 0-30%,
the concrete behaves more permeable, resistible to corrosion and has additive durable
properties more than conventional concrete, because present concrete needs more
durability for its life time period.

ABSTRACT
Cold-formed steel structural members play a great role in modern steel structures
due to their high strength and light weight. The behavior and strength of battened column
members composed of slender angle sections are mainly governed by local buckling of
angle legs or torsional buckling of the angle between batten plates. The finite element
analysis was performed on battened columns compressed between fixed ends for different
column lengths and width to thickness ratio using ABAQUS. An extensive parametric
study was carried out using the finite element model to study the effects of cross-section
geometries on the strength and behavior of battened columns. The nonlinear finite
element models were compared with the design strengths predicted using the North
American Specification for cold-formed steel structural members.

ABSTRACT
Concrete has been the popular construction material used since the past until now.
Normally the concrete is mixed from cement, sand, stone and water sometime with use
admixture. The basic objective of this study was to identify the alternative material for
fine aggregate. Because the construction industry expects a serious shortage of river sand
in our country. In such a situation the Quarry rock dust can be an economic alternative
material to the river sand. Quarry dust has been rampantly used in different
construction purposes but replacement technology has emerged as an innovative
development to civil engineering material. The use of quarry dust in concrete is desirable
because of its benefits such as useful disposal of by products, reduction of river
sand consumption as well as increasing the strength parameters and increasing the
workability of concrete (Jain et. al., 1999). It is used in large scale in the highways as a
surface finishing material and also used for manufacturing of hollow blocks and
lightweight concrete prefabricated Elements etc., In this paper study of M50 grade
concrete consider a water cement ratio 0.37 for the hundred percentage replacement of
fine aggregate (river sand) with steel fiber using Indian Standard method. The
replacement of hundred percentage strength and durability properties of fresh and
hardened concrete. Tests were conduct on cubes, cylinder and beams made of Quarry
Dust with 0.5% steel fiber, and the results were compared with the Natural River
Sand Concrete. An attempt has also been made to durability studies on Quarry Dust when
compared with the Natural River Sand concrete.

ABSTRACT
The Double skin composite columns are formed from two steel skins filled with
concrete in between. This new form of hybrid column has the potential to be used in
many domains such as high-rise bridge piers and large diameter columns in high-rise
buildings, etc. They have lighter weight, higher bending stiffness, and have better cyclic
performance. This paper reports analysis of the behaviour of CFDST slender columns
with CHS (circular hollow section) outer tube and CHS inner tube filled with both plain
concrete and fiber reinforced concrete under eccentrical loading is investigated by using
the finite element analysis program ABAQUS. The specimens were tested under eccentric
compression to investigate the effects of fibre reinforced concrete on the strength and
behaviour of slender composite columns. The slenderness ratio was considered to be the
main test parameter. The ultimate strength capacities of both plain and steel fiber
concrete-filled tube columns from analysis have been compared with the result obtained
using existing code Eurocode 4. The results indicate that the addition of steel fibers in
core concrete has considerable effect on the behaviour of concrete-filled steel tube
columns
