A numerical analysis has been performed to compare the ballistic performance of two distinct confined ceramic/metal armor system, alumina tiles backed by steel 4340 and alumina tiles backed by aluminum 5083 H116. A 76.2 mm long and 7.62 mm diameter cylindrical projectile with hemisphere nosed shape made of tungsten alloy and harden steel were hit normally with velocity 1550 m/s on both the target configuration. For these threats, under constant thickness, ceramic/metal configuration that defeated the projectile was studied through finite element simulation on ANSYS/LS DYNA. Depth of penetration of projectile in target, residual velocity of projectile, erode length of the projectile, ballistic limit were used to study the ballistic performance of target configurations. For alumina, Johnson Holmquist (JH-2) material model was used whereas for steel, tungsten and aluminum, Johnson Cook (JC) model was considered. For identical thickness, Alumina/Steel target showed better performance as compare to Alumina/Al target under tungsten projectile impact whereas on the basis of areal density, Alumina/Al performed better than Alumina/steel against steel projectile impact.

In this study, 3D printing technology is utilized for the fabrication of designer structure bioresorbable Polylactic acid (PLA) NGCs for peripheral nerve regeneration. The designer structure of the NGCs is designed using solid works software. The bioresorbable PLA NGCs are printed using an extrusion-based 3D printer. PLA thread of 1.75 mm diameter is employed for the fabrication of 6±0.5 mm internal diameter and 35±10 mm long NGCs. The conduits were tested for the mechanical properties, surface properties such as surface wettability of the conduits were evaluated by measuring the water contact angle of the de-ionized water droplet deposited on the conduit surface. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy is used for the conduits surface chemistry study. Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) are used for the thermal and morphological characterization.

This paper discusses the optimal distribution of material across the cross-section of a shaft under pure uniform torsional loads such that the factor of safety and thereby the shear stresses generated at any point in the cross-section remain largely the same irrespective of their radial distance from the centre of the shaft. An analytical mathematical relationship is deduced to relate the material distribution as a function of the radial distance. The relationship is then used to plot the corresponding variation in MATLAB. Finally, several CAD models of the proposed cross-sectional shapes are prepared in SolidWorks, and then simulated in ANSYS simulation software by employing the Static Structural analysis platform. The graphical and statistical results of the shear stress distributions are then compared with a solid shaft of the exact same radial and axial dimensions. It is found that the proposed 3-Branched model is about 25% more efficient in material utilization than the conventionally employed solid shaft of similar dimensions.

This study aimed to validate an in vitro periodontal biofilm model with complex subgingival microbial communities grown in a stirred bioreactor. Experimental biofilms were characterized and examined for their growth kinetics over time. After incubation under anaerobic conditions for 3 days, biofilm cultures formed on the substrate were collected and analyzed. The specific growth rate in the exponential phase was estimated to be 0.3915 h−1, with no significant differences in growth kinetics and CFU counts between the replicates (P > 0.05). The biofilm architecture was consistent in each time-point, with bacterial cells presenting different morphology and completely colonizing the cementum surface. To conclude, the three-day subgingival biofilm model developed in our study successfully mimicked the growth of complex microbial communities.

The increase in energy scarcity for all the vehicular needs with the increase in pollution leading to the environmental concerns especially in developing countries like India pushes the researchers towards finding a new source of energy with lesser emissions. This particular study was performed to improve the characteristics of 4 stroke, mono cylinder diesel engine by means of 20% and 40% mixtures of Jamun bio-diesel for two proportions of Rice husk Nano-additives (0.1% and 0.2%). Result illustrates that for J20 with 0.2% additive, Brake Thermal Efficiency reduces by 2.1% with Brake Specific Fuel Consumption increasing by 3.8%. In addition, emissions such as Hydro Carbon, Carbon monoxide and Smoke were reduced by 23.78%, 18.32%, 21.4% by a insignificant growth in oxides of Nitrogen by 11.32%. Result states J20 with 0.2% additive can be effectively used without any modifications and helps in reducing emissions with slight reduction in performance parameters.

Decentralized power supply for remote and urban areas via gasifier-engine system is an attractive choice especially when sources of fossil fuel are getting depleted and leading to serious emission hazards. In gasifier, the solid biomass is converted into “producer gas,” which can fuel a gas-engine in single fuel mode i.e., complete substitution. The conversion of stationary diesel engine into producer gas-engine (i.e., complete substitution) ensure complete independency from fossil fuels; although it demands major modifications/retrofitting arrangements. Herein, an existing diesel engine of capacity 7.4 kW is chosen and converted into producer gas-engine operated on single fuel mode (spark ignited) at compression ratio of 14:1. Other arrangements such as installation of spark ignited mode (i.e., ignition coil and distributor followed by contact breaker unit), gasoline carburetor and special induction system followed by other necessary arrangements were carried out. A kit is suggested for conversion of different capacity and types engines utilizing alternate/renewable gaseous fuels. A considerable power loss (power derating) and reduction in thermal efficiency is observed while operation in single producer gas mode. More detailed experiments are required to predict qualitative performance trends.

There are huge steel doors inside mines which are huge and heavy; techniques that can handle such heavy loads have to be used for automatically operating them. From hydraulic to pneumatic systems, multiple techniques are available for actuating heavy loads, but when we deal with mines and tunnels, solutions need to be leak proof, explosion-free and safe. Pneumatic systems offer provides a better alternative in such working conditions. In terms of cost as well, pneumatic systems are substantially cheaper than most other systems. The work is based on an automatic operating mechanism using Directional Control Valves (DCV’s) to facilitate opening and closing of doors from both sides. The FluidSim simulation software is considered for designing the pneumatic circuit diagram. The hardware connections have been further developed based on the simulation obtained. Further design analysis of the mechanism has been considered for the developed hardware. A proposed model for more intelligent design based on Programmable Logic Controllers, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and ultrasonic sensors have been suggested further.

A 2-dimensional numerical investigation has been conducted to examine the effect of three distinct turbulators (namely M shaped, Wedge shaped and Reverse wedge shaped) on the performance of solar air heater (SAH) for relevant Reynolds number ranges from 4000 to 18000. CFD code ANSYS FLUENT is used for simulation of turbulent airflow. For all three geometries constant ratio of e/Dh = 0.021 (where e = 0.7 and Dh = 33.33) and ratio P/e = 14.285 (where p = 10) is used. Turbulence Kinetic energy and velocity contours for all turbulators have also been studied in this analysis. M-Shaped turbulators outperformed the other two turbulators with maximum value of THPP.

In pressure metrology, cross floating of pressure balances is used for the accurate and precise measurements of pressure. In this method, a nearly perfect balance condition is required between 2 pressure balances used in a common pressure transmission circuit, one as standard and another as device under calibration (DUC). Present paper describes the effect of stress analysis during the simulation in design, optimization and process of development of a manually actuated cross floating valve. Simulation studies have been carried out by using ANSYS software to analyze the behavior of stress, strain, and subsequent deformation. The optimization tool is used to fix all the dimensions according to factor of safety and other design points. The valve thus developed was tested in the pressure range from atmospheric to 2500 bar and the results thus obtained are found excellent.
