Wire-cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) has emerged as prominent advanced machining process to machine electrically conductive difficult-to-machine materials to any intricate shape and size. Amongst Ti-alloys, Ti6Al4V is extensively used in diverse engineering applications and is popularly researched. In this work, maximization of material removal rate (MRR) is addressed as economic aspect of sustainable production during WEDM of Ti6Al4V alloy employing modified teaching-learning based optimization (M-TLBO) algorithm. A novel method for fitness curve fitting is illustrated to obtain global optima for maximization of MRR. Taguchi L16 OA is employed to perform WEDM experiments. It is observed that MRR at optimal cutting conditions improved by 27.51% as compared to its initial maximum value. The fitness curve constructed in the optimal search domain resulted in smooth U-shape curve. ANOVA result showed that current (56.58%) and pulse-off-time (23.57%) are highly dominant process parameters influencing MRR followed by pulse on time (11.66%) and wire speed (7.20%). Machined surface morphology is studied using SEM images. The proposed M-TLBO algorithm is found highly accurate and consistent during several runs conducted and converged faster taking less than ten iterations. Also, proposed novel approach for fitness curve fitting can be effectively applied in any optimization problem.Wire-cut electrical discharge machining (WEDM) has emerged as prominent advanced machining process to machine electrically conductive difficult-to-machine materials to any intricate shape and size.

The advancement in fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) innovation have a distinct fascination in executing another sort of strands named as basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP), which has the dominating of being erosion safe, strong and cost effective that deliver a predominant outcome when applied in concrete structure. Besides, the accessible codal provision and aides does not give any suggestions to the use of Basalt bars since basic investigations and significant applications are as yet restricted. The objective of our investigation was progressed by two phases. The initial phase was led by examining the properties on BFRP and STEEL bars & these properties were evaluated and compared with the codal provision. The next phase of this test included testing of eight concrete beams (4 no’s of RC beam and 4 no’s of BFRP beam) of size 1700 mm long × 150 mm wide × 250 mm profound and to examine the flexural behaviour of both BFRP and RC beam under a two -point load over a clear span of 1550 mm until failure. The outcomes of these two phases were discussed in terms of its behaviour in crack, load, flexure and the mode of failure. Additionally, the test outcomes prove that the basalt bars have a great mechanical behaviour over concrete structures and it can be set as a substitution of STEEL bars for light, temporary structures.The advancement in fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) innovation have a distinct fascination in executing another sort of strands named as basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP), which has the dominating of being erosion safe, strong and cost effective that deliver a predominant outcome when applied in concrete structure.

A composite beam comprises of concrete slab at the top with a steel beam of I shaped cross section beneath the slab. In this research a three dimensional composite beam is modelled to study the variation in thickness of concrete slab and steel section subjected to uniformly distributed load using finite element analysis. The support conditions of the structure are modelled as fixed beam on both the ends. Relative study is proposed on three different concrete slab thicknesses of 80,100 and 120mm respectively with steel I section beams. The parameters involves total deformation, maximum principal stress, shear stress, normal elastic strain and strain energy in the composite T beam at midspan are reported. It also attempt to conclude that the longitudinal compressive stresses in concrete slab had a non-uniform distribution of stresses along the cross section and it also produces positive bending moment.

The fiber obtained from the dry outer covering of the coconut fiber is termed as “coir”. This fiber has the best toughness among all natural fibres. These coir fibres have the tendency to be used as reinforcement in low cost concrete structures particularly in earthquake regions because of their property of toughness and sturdiness. Some advantages of coir fibers include insect proof, resistant to fungi and decay, provide good insulation against temperature and sound. They remain unaffected by external factors like humidity. They act as reinforcement substance by giving strength to the composite. To the brittle material concrete, a standard stresses or impact load is applied; the durability is 1/10th of its compressive strength. Thus, reinforcing bars are used with concrete in order that they face upto tensile stresses and replace the shortage of malleability and strength. For the preparation of fiber concrete solid cube M20 grade cement is employed. The fiber is mixed with cement, fine aggregate (Msand), coarse aggregate (gravel) and needed quantity no f water that forms the concrete mix. A layer of oil is applied evenly within the cube mould to prevent the concrete from sticking to the mould. This concrete mix is then crammed fully within the solid cube mould. This is then left to dry for 24hrs. This is taken out from the mould and immersed curing is to be done for 3-7 days.

Titanium alloys play a major role in making bio-implants such as bone replacements etc. However, their elastic modulus is very high compared with human bone and also their biocompatibility is not so good. The difference in the young’s modulus leads to stress shielding. Magnesium alloys have good biocompatibility in terms of bone growth, but they are poor in stiffness. Hence, bone replacements containing a combination of titanium infiltrated with magnesium is better from the view point of both stiffness and biocompatibility. In this work, a titanium alloy substrate with square mesh, produced through additive manufacturing, is infiltrated with magnesium-4% zinc alloy. The infiltration of magnesium into the meshes of titanium alloy will reduce the weight and Young’s modulus of the bio implant produced from this alloys combination. The magnesium alloy present in the titanium meshes may dissolve into the blood and may not increase the bone growth when it is very soft. Hence, age hardening heat treatment is to be given to the magnesium alloy to increase its strength. By doing so, the strength of Mg-4%Zn alloy increased and hence the magnesium alloy could able to support the bone growth rather than dissolving in blood. The addition of zinc to the magnesium increases the age hardening ability of magnesium alloys and hence strength of the same. In this work, the magnesium alloy infiltrated titanium mesh structured bio implants were produced and age hardened. Then these implants were characterized for their microstructure and hardness.Titanium alloys play a major role in making bio-implants such as bone replacements etc. However, their elastic modulus is very high compared with human bone and also their biocompatibility is not so good. The difference in the young’s modulus leads to stress shielding. Magnesium alloys have good biocompatibility in terms of bone growth, but they are poor in stiffness. Hence, bone replacements containing a combination of titanium infiltrated with magnesium is better from the view point of both stiffness and biocompatibility. In this work, a titanium alloy substrate with square mesh, produced through additive manufacturing, is infiltrated with magnesium-4% zinc alloy. The infiltration of magnesium into the meshes of titanium alloy will reduce the weight and Young’s modulus of the bio implant produced from this alloys combination. The magnesium alloy present in the titanium meshes may dissolve into the blood and may not increase the bone growth when it is very soft. Hence, age hardening heat treatment is to ...

Hence, age hardening heat treatment is to be given to the magnesium alloy to increase its strength. By doing so, the strength of Mg-4%Zn alloy increased and hence the magnesium alloy could able to support the bone growth rather than dissolving in blood. The addition of zinc to the magnesium increases the age hardening ability of magnesium alloys and hence strength of the same.

Duplex stainless steels with varying chromium content is taken and subject to heat treatment between the temperature ranges of 900 to 1000°C to understand the phase stability of ferrite at such elevated temperatures. It is well observed that, ferrite is the active phase in duplex stainless steel as the austenite grains remains unchanged after heat treatment. Also, formation of sigma in ferrite phases affects the toughness of the material, even though austenite is present in large amount. It is also observed that, higher the aging temperature, higher is the kinetics of formation sigma phase in duplex stainless steel. In addition to Cr, Mo increases the affinity of formation of sigma phase.Duplex stainless steels with varying chromium content is taken and subject to heat treatment between the temperature ranges of 900 to 1000°C to understand the phase stability of ferrite at such elevated temperatures.

This research work focuses on the effect of Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) by evaluating the compressive, tensile and flexural strength at 28 days. The materials taken to manufacture Self Compacting concrete are the weight of cement, coarse and fine aggregate, fly ash and three chemical admixtures were identified. Experimental works by casting different trails of cubes size 150mmx150mm, cylinder size 150mmx300mm and beam of 1800x150x200 mm was carried out and allowed for self-curing. It is concluded that 2% of super plasticizers, 0.5% of Viscosity Modifying Agent and SAP is optimum to use in SCC mix of M40 concrete. Beyond which when added leads to delay in setting time and strength tends to reduce.
