Sub-structure Geometry Effect on Energy Absorption Ability of Hierarchical Honeycomb under Crushing
Abstract: Honeycomb structures are stiff and light weight composite structures which show good energy absorption. Hierarchical honeycomb structures which are bio-inspired innovative form of honeycomb structure, are used for energy absorption applications. The crashworthiness of hierarchical honeycomb structures is function of sub-structure geometry. In the present investigation, crushing of vertex based hierarchical honeycomb with regular polygonal (n=3, 6, 9, 12, 15) and circular substructures is analysed using nonlinear explicit finite element …

Conceptual design of eVTOL A Nonlinear Dynamic Model of an eVTOL on Simulink-MATLAB
Abstract: eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) for urban mobility is currently evolving and manyconcepts of configurations with which vertical take-off and landing could be made possible arediscussed like a multi-copter, lift and cruise, and tilt-wing. All these concepts have different behaviorfrom the flight dynamics perspective. The one which is predominantly discussed here is the proposedmodel Cityhawk by Urban Aeronautics with a ducted fan vane control system. Urban Aeronautics hasvery high …

Structural Analysis of a Single Tool Post
Abstract: This paper provides practical simulation analysis of a Single Tool Post using the Fusion 360 graphic program. A Single Tool Post has a predominantly cylindrical body joined with a collar at the base. A slot is present in the body to hold the tool for further operations. The tool is placed on top of the hemispherical wedge in the slot. The tool is tightly placed in the slot with the …

Structural Analysis of Trolley Body
Abstract: The importance of structural analysis for trolley bodies or other machine bodies is that it serves as afoundation for structural design and determines if a certain structural designwill be able to handleexternal and internal loads and pressures. Generally, the trolleys are used in wide range for manypurposes which carries out the work of carrying loads from one place to another. Analysis for trolleybody is mostly demanded because of the high …

Maximizing Void Properties from Optimized Local Pozzolans in Wearing Course of Bituminous Concrete Mixtures
Abstract: Failure of asphalt pavement has influenced research into better ways to optimize local pozzolans seenas waste and reduce cost of importation of admixtures. Waste Shell Ashes are checked as localassembled by incorporating them in asphalt concrete mix design. Different research has shown thatsome agricultural waste/by-products can be admitted as mineral fillers in hot-mix asphalt concrete toobtain certain desirable properties. It is on this basis that this research attempts to interrogate …
