Effect of Fluid Viscosity and Iron-Fluid Composition on Damping Ability of Magnetorheological Damper during Hard Turning Process
Abstract: In manufacturing industry where metal cutting operation take place, tool vibration is an undesirable phenomenon which affects surface finish of the work piece, tool life and cause discomfort to human personal. In order to avoid tool vibration, the concept of magnetorheological (MR) damper was considered in this study. When a magnetic field is applied to the MR fluids, particle chains form and the fluid becomes a semisolid. This transition is …

Analysis of Savonius Wind Turbine for Air Striking At Different Angles
Abstract: The global small wind turbine (SWT) market has been on the upswing in the last five years. The main drivers of this growth are the demand-supply gap in energy, increasing fossil fuel prices, improved small wind turbine technology and the diverse application to which it can be put to both ‘grid-tied’ and ‘stand-alone’ system. The market for SWT technology is growing in India also, and may require market drivers like …

Manufacturing of a Portable and Low Cost Fused Deposition Modelling Principle Based 3D printer: A Review
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing refers to a technique during which objects are created by fusing or depositing materials—such as plastic, metal, ceramics, powders, liquids, or perhaps living cells—in layers to supply a 3D object. This method is additionally spoken as additive producing (AM), speedy prototyping (RP), or solid free-form technology (SFF). The current papers aims to present a review on 3D printing stating its benefits and mechanisms used to manufacture a …

Experimental Investigation To Study the Effect of Heat Treatment on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Duplex Stainless Steel
Abstract: The broad aim of this paper is to study the enhancement in mechanical properties of duplex steel by thermomechanical processing. Solution annealing followed by water quenching, hot rolling to 10% and 30%, cryo-rolling to 80% and 90% and ageing at 600°C and 1000°C for 5 hrs were the treatments given. The cryo-rolled samples were used for impact testing and rest for tensile testing. Microstructural analysis was done after the various …

A Brief note on Biomechanics
Abstract: Biomechanics is generally referred to as the study of how the systems of living organisms from plants to animals, react to the various forces of nature and stimuli. Biomechanics is the science of dealing with effects produced by external and internal forces on the living body. The need to study biomechanics for any the particular case is necessary for every physical educator or coach, who is involved in teaching movement …
