Electrical resistance strain gages are used extensively for measurement of strain in machine components. In case of rotary components, the transfer of strain gages signals to the indicating device for measurement of strain gage reading is very critical. Conventional techniques involving Telemetry, Slip Ring and Rotary Transformer Systems are having certain drawbacks and mainly these are very costly systems. Therefore, it is felt necessary to develop the technique, which will be cheaper than the conventional techniques and will give the acceptable results. This paper reports the development...

Transport by road is one of the key areas in the present scenario. The roads have bridges, flyovers, Bus-lays and Truck-lays etc in small, medium and large categories. Especially National Highways are to be maintained in good condition in order to provide good service to transport carriers hence more money is required to maintain the roads. This money for maintenance and repair work of the roads is collected from the vehicle drivers at Toll-Centers. Toll centers are the centers where the tress-passers are charged for using the road. Presently Toll-Centers are collecting charges on the basis...

The task of nation building depends upon the quality and no. Of people coming out from our various school and colleges. And it is need less to say that quality education is only the tool through which these vast resources could be honed. So that the third millennium will proceed with accelerated pace in the direction of extensive research. And in this process we can’t deny or underestimate the role of students, schools, colleges, teachers and other governing bodies, but the molar analysis raises certain Questions. The interest in total quality management (TQM) has increased rapidly in recent...

Photothermal deflection (PTD) is a nondestructive optical technique and we have developed a theoretical model suitable to analyze the variations of PT Signal amplitude due to changes in electronic and thermal properties in semiconductor materials. In the present work, transverse PTD in skimming configuration was used to study the thermal and electronic transport properties of Copper Indium Sulfide (CuInS2) thin films. The thermal diffusivity, minority carrier lifetime and surface recombination velocity of p type CuInS2 thin films with different thickness were determined by fitting the...

The machinability of AISI 4340 steel with alumina based ceramic cutting tools is discussed in this paper. In the present work, four types of advanced alumina based ceramic cutting tools are used. The machinability of AISI 4340 steel was evaluated by measurement of flank wear of the cutting tool inserts and surface finish of the turned work pieces. The Ti[C, N] mixed alumina ceramic cutting tools performed better on machining AISI 4340 steel.

Electro Magnetic Suspension System (EMSS) is an independent-revolutionary suspension system that reacts instantly to changing road conditions by negating the up and down movement of wheels. Our paper proposes to amalgamate the features of superior control and greater comfort in a single system. To achieve this, we have designed a system that uses a Linear Electromagnetic Motor (LEM), which is mounted on each wheel to push and pull the wheel without jostling the car body. The electromagnetic motor use input from sensors throughout the vehicle designed to adapt to our system so as to react to...

This paper presents the design of a laser tracking system and its implementation using an IEEE 1451 standard interface through Bluetooth technology which enables the user to monitor laser tracking at a remote place. The applications of which include the field of robotics, aero space industries, metallurgical industries and in defense. Laser tracking systems normally work on the amount of back scattered light during a rapid scan around the presumed object position. The proposed work is to make some modifications in the tracking mechanism. The suggested modifications are increasing the...

The recent surge of making engineering components in micro scale level has given a new challenge to metrologists to measure in meso and micro scale. Keeping the general advantage of coordinate measuring machine over conventional measuring equipment, worldwide activities are going on to develop micro-CMMs in the range of, say, 25325310 mm and the resolution of about 1 nm. This paper deals with the important attributes of a micro-CMM, which is to be capable of measuring sub-micron accuracy intricate parts with minimum settings. Review of several frontier technologies in this field have been...

Wire cut EDM is a widely accepted non-traditional material removal process to manufacture components with intricate shapes and profiles irrespective of hardness. Due to complicated stochastic process mechanisms in wire-EDM, the relationships between the cutting parameters and cutting performance are hard to model accurately. Experiments were carried out machining the SKD11/D2A2, Tungsten Carbide and Mild steel material using brass wire of diameter 0.25 mm as tool. The input process parameters considered during experiments were servo voltage, offset distance, machining speed, pulse-on and...

The importance of the education sector, particularly in a professional discipline like engineering studies, is increasing day by day in our country. The quantitative growth of the institution in private sector provides smacks of attempts to commercialize and this need to be curbed. Nowadays, a major threat in our country is that of brain drain which may occur very rapidly in the near future due to attraction of good quality students to foreign universities. It is, therefore, necessary for the Indian technical education system to change its face by improving the standards and offer...
