Preparation and Characterization of Nanosize SnO2 Nanopowders by Precipitation Method
Abstract: Nanocrystalline Tin oxide (SnO2) powders have been synthesized by a direct precipitation method from an aqueous solution in the presence of SnCl4 and NH3. The crystallite size, lattice parameters, dislocation density and number of unit cells in SnO2 nanocrystalline powder (as-prepared and heated) are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results of XRD show that pure SnO2 nanocrystalline powder has tetragonal rutile structure; the broad peak indicates small crystallite size …

Behaviour of Vertically Loaded Piled Raft
Abstract: In order to understand the load-settlement behaviour and load sharing of piled raft resting on sand soil, 1-g model tests were conducted.The parameter studied were the influence of pile spacing and number of piles. The testing program includes tests on models of unpiled raft and rafts on 4 and 9 piles. The model piles beneath the raft are non-displacement piles.The improvement in ultimate bearing capacity is represented by load improvement …

Fault Diagnosis of Helical Gear Box Using Variational Mode Decomposition with Naïve Bayes and Bayes Net Classifiers through Vibration Signals
Abstract: Gear is a very important machine component which finds use in most of the machines which requires some sort of power transmission or reduction. Unattended faults in gears can be catastrophic for the machine leading to halts in production and consequent economic loss. The requirement for a gear fault detection and diagnosis system is thus emphasized. Vibration signals are often used in fault diagnosis applications along with Fast Fourier transform …
