NUMERICAL BIRD STRIKE IMPACT SIMULATION OF AIRCRAFT COMPOSITE

STRUCTURE (AS002)

Nagaraj V1, Velmurugan T2

Anna University, Regional Centre, Tirunelveli, India.

Abstract-- The work presented in this paper deals with application of explicit finite element analysis in order to predict

the bird-strike induced impact damage on fuselage part of typical transport aircraft. A methodology has been developed

to support the bird-strike certification of the metallic materials made with aluminum alloy2024-T4, 7075-T6. The

numerically explicit LS-DYNA codes were used to simulate the arbitray Lagrangian Euler (ALE) bird model. An

important part of the bird strike modeling procedure is the application of a bird replacement material with constitutive

response which replicates the forces induced by an impact of a real bird. The bird material is modelled by an equation of

state, with properties that match the pressure–density relations of water and air mixtures. The input parameters for the

simulation have been selected as to simulate a bird strike used to verify the compliance with damage tolerance

certification requirements. The ability of this work is leading to improved design efficiency and safety, while

significantly reducing certification cost.

Keywords-- Bird Strike, Certification. Aluminum Alloy Structures, Explicit Analysis LS-DYNA, Structural Impact.

STRESS CONCENTRATION OF HYBRID COMPOSITE WITH A CENTRAL CIRCULAR

HOLE SUBJECTED TO AXIAL LOADING (AS003)

C.Shalini devi1, R. Asokan2

Abstract-- This work describes about the stress concentration in a rectangular specimen with a circular hole made up of

hybrid composite material with the combination of glass/carbon with epoxy. The arrangements of cross ply lamina in the

sequence of alternative carbon and glass as using carbon fibre and in panel gives more strength to the structure as the carbon properties are high when compared to glass. Typical aircraft and automobile components are with cut-outs and

such cut-outs reduce the weight of the aircraft according to the weight reduction law and also it reduced the bulking load

carrying capacity. Experimental investigations were carried out using three specimens as per ASTM D5766 in the Universal Testing Machine. Stress concentration in the rectangular specimen with a hole is also analyzed using FEA and

comparing the results.

Key points-- composite, finite element analysis, stress concentration, tensile strength.

DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE BUILDING BLOCKS (CE004)

Dr.N.Arunachalam1, V.Mahesh2, P.Dileepkumar3,V.Sounder4

Bannari Amman Institute of Technology,Erode,India.

Abstract-- The compressive and tensile strengths of lightweight concrete (LWC) of density 1700 kg/m3 to 1800 kg/m3

with different aluminium powder content were investigated using cube and cylinder specimens. Based on an earlier investigation of the first two authors, cement to combined aggregate ratios of 1:6, 1:8, and 1:10 have been selected. Both sand and quarry dust have been tried as fine aggregate. Aluminium powder was added at 0.2% to 0.8% by weight of

cement. For that the ultimate strength of LWC is of the range between 3N/mm2 – 10.5N/mm2 for different aluminium powder content. Addition of more than 0.2% of aluminium powder reduces the compressive strength drastically. Keywords-- Aluminium powder, Fly ash, Air entrained concrete, water/cement ratio.

Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam.

Abstract-- Provisions of Indian (IS 456: 2000), European (EC2 - 1992) and American (ACI 318) codes of practice for the

design of RC columns have been critically studied. As per the recommendations of Indian, European and American

codes of practice, RC rectangular columns have been designed adopting limit state method for all designs. The total cost of columns has been calculated and is compared using bar chart. It is found that the total cost of the column is less when

Indian code of practice is adopted.

Keywords-- Limit state design, RC rectangular columns, lateral ties.



ON FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF STEEL AND RC BEAMS : PERFORMANCE OF

DIFFERENT ELEMENTS (CE015)

Biswanath Charan1, Pijush Topdar2

NIT Durgapur, India.

Abstract-- Modelling a beam of either an isotrpic material like steel or a composite material like reinforced concrete (RC)

having surface bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates for realistic prediction of structural behaviour is a

challenging task. Most of the dedicated softwares for analysis and design of civil engineering structures lack the facility

of modelling beams with additional layers of different material like FRP sheets. Therefore for modeling and analysis of

such beams with surface- bonded FRP layers, it is necessary to choose an appropriate Finite Element (FE) software

which is capable of modelling beams bonded with additional FRP layers. However, the first step towards such an effort

is to properly model the virgin beam without FRP layers. In this context, choosing the appropriate element(s) is also an

important task. Therefore In this paper, an effort is made to assess the performance of the relevant elements of a

commercially available FE software for the above purpose. Numerical examples are solved for beams under various

loading and boundary conditions; results are compared with available results, wherever possible, to assess the suitability

of such elements and their range of applicability.

Keywords-- Appropriate modelling, FE software (Abaqus), RCC beam, use of best suited finite element, different

boundary and loading conditions.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON CONCRETE UTILISING RED MUD AS A PARTIAL

REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH HYDRATED LIME (CE016)

P.Ashok1,M.P.Sureshkumar2

K.S.Rangasamy College of Technology, Tiruchengode, Namakkal.

Abstract--The Bayer Process for the production of alumina from Bauxite ore is characterized by low energy efficiency

and it results in the production of significant amounts of dust-like, high alkalinity bauxite residues known as red mud.

Currently red mud is produced almost at equal mass ratio to metallurgical alumina and is disposed into sealed or unsealed

artificial impoundments (landfills), leading to important environmental issues. It comprises of oxides of iron, titanium,

aluminum and silica along with some other minor constituents. Presence of Alumina and Iron oxide in red mud

compensates the deficiency of the same components in limestone which is the primary raw material for cement

production. Presence of soda in the red mud which when used in clinker production neutralizes the sulfur content in the

pet coke that is used for burning clinker enrooted cement production and adds to the cement’s setting characteristics.

Based on economics as well as environmental related issues, enormous efforts have been directed worldwide towards red

mud management issues i.e. of utilization, storage and disposal. Different avenues of red mud utilization are more or less

known but none of them have so far proved to be economically viable or commercially feasible. Experiments have been

conducted under laboratory condition to assess the strength characteristics of the aluminum red mud. The project work

focuses on the suitability of red mud obtained for construction. Five test groups were constituted with the replacement

percentages 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of red mud and 5% of hydrated lime with cement in each series. To achieve

Pozzolanic property of red mud, hydrated lime was added. This paper points out another promising direction for the

proper utilization of red mud.

Keywords-- Cement mortars, Red mud, hydrated lime, monotonic load and Deflection.



EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF M-SAND CONCRETE

BY DIFFERENT CURING METHODS (CE019)

Sagura1, Jagadeesan2

K.S.Rangasamy College of Technology,Tiruchengode, Tamilnadu, India, 637215.

Abstract-- Concrete is widely used composite construction material consist of cement, fine aggregate and coarse

aggregate. One of the constituent materials of concrete especially, the fine aggregate plays an important role for

imparting better performance ofconcrete in its fresh and hardened state.The shortage of the resources of natural

sand(NS), have the possibility for the use of M-Sand (MS).Proper curing of concrete structures is important to ensure

their intended performance and durability requirements. Curing plays a major role in developing the concrete

microstructure and pore structure. The self curing concrete means that no external curing required for concrete. The

scope of this study is to investigate the effect of replacement of NS by MS for different curing methods. In self and

membrane curing methods the Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and wax based membrane curing compounds were used.

Using M20 grade of concrete cubes, cylinder and prism were casted for NS and MS. The specimens were allowed for air

curing, standard moist curing, membrane curing and with Super-Absorbent Polymer (SAP) at different proportions of

0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% by weight of cement and the various mechanical properties were studied.

KeyWords-- Natural sand, M-Sand, Membrane Curing, Self curing, Super absorbent polymer.

NUMERICAL EVALUATION OF DYNAMIC AMPLIFICATION FACTOR OF A BRIDGE

(CE024)

A.JerryAlston1, S.Parivallal2, K.Ravisankar3, K.Kesavan4,N.Sathyakumar5

Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Sathyamangalam-638401,India.

Abstract-- The dynamic aspect is the one of the governing factors in the structural design of bridges. Correct

understanding of Bridge dynamics is essential, since a realistic prediction of structural response contributes to an

economic design of new bridges and to a rational exploitation of bridges in service. Dynamic effects are often considered

by introducing dynamic amplification factor (DAF) specified in design codes. The purpose of introducing these factors is

making the dynamic results easily understood in bridge response.

In recent years it has been found that in railway bridges due to introduction of high speed locos and heavy load wagons,

bridges are subjected to large dynamic effects than experienced before. DAF is an important factor in the design of

bridges considering dynamic effects, disagreement occurs as the DAF provided in the codes are inherently conservative.

The codal provisions are old enough and are provided based on the peak load events obtained in olden days and does not

match with the modern engines and heavy loads. Since DAF depends only on few parameters like span, axle loads,

speed, and ignore many of the truck dynamic characteristics etc., it has to be kept in mind that improper provision of

DAF may lead to failure in many ways, this can be avoided by ensuring the extreme load events by providing proper

DAF. Hence there is need of attaining proper DAF according to the varying load and speeds, in order to avoid critical

failures as well as rehabilitation is difficult in case of bridges.

This paper presents the evaluation of DAF for a simply supported I-girder bridge. The bridge was modeled using general

purpose finite element software, ABAQUS. Equivalent CC+8+2 vehicle load pattern was considered for analyzing it at

different speeds obtaining peak dynamic response at various points of the span.

The peak static response was also determined by applying the same load patterns at various points. From the results

obtained, the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) was evaluated.

Keywords-- Dynamic Amplification Factor,Bridge,Response.



NEIGHBOUR KNOWLEDGE BASED OVERHEAD REDUCTION IN MANET (CS001) A.S.Mohan Kumar1 , K.Saravana Kumar2

V.S.B Engineering College Karur, Tamilnadu.

Abstract-- Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are multihop wireless networks with mobile nodes that can move

freely. One fundamental primitive in a MANET is searching a path from a source node to a destination. In MANETs, the

network topology changes frequently and unpredictably due to the arbitrary mobility of nodes. This feature leads to

frequent path failures and route reconstructions, which causes an increase in the routing control overhead. The main

objective of the work is to reduce the overhead of route discovery in the design of routing protocols of MANETs.

Neighbour knowledge based routing protocol is used to reduce the overhead in route discovery by selectively

broadcasting RREQ packets to the uncovered neighbour set instead of all neighbours. Thereby the congestion in the

network is reduced considerably which leads to increased lifetime of the network.

Keywords-- Mobile adhoc networks, neighbor coverage, network connectivity, probabilistic rebroadcast, routing

overhead.

SPB: SPARKY PREFERENCE BASED APPROACH FOR RESOURCE SHARING WITHIN

A SOCIAL NETWORK (CS009)

C.Abinaya Dev1, S.V.Muthulakshmi2

Syed AmmalEngineeringCollege, Ramanathapuram , Tamil Nadu.

Abstract-- Cloud computing is rapidly increasing in popularity. Companies such as Red Hat, Microsoft, Amazon,

Google, and IBM are increasingly funding cloud computing infrastructure and research, making it important for students

to gain the necessary skills to work with cloud-based resources. Online relationships in social networks are often based

on real world relationships and can therefore be used to infer a level of trust between users. We propose leveraging these

relationships to form a dynamic “Social cloud” thereby enabling users to share heterogeneous resources within the

context of a social network. In this paper, we argue an alternative approach to establish trust and accountability in cloud

platform: a social cloud [4]; and advocate a dynamic preference based approach to facilitate resource sharing. Using our

approach, users can download and install a middleware (an extension to Seattle), leverage their personal social network

via a Facebook application, and provide resources to, or consume resources from, their friends through a Social Clearing

House. In a Socio-economic model, resource owners offer virtualized containers on their personal computer(s) or smart

device(s) to their social network. However, as users may have complex preference structures concerning with whom they

do or do not wish to share their resources, we investigate, via simulation, how resources can be effectively allocated

within a social community offering resources on a best effort basis. This paper defines Social Cloud Computing,

outlining various aspects of Socio-economic model, and demonstrates the approach using a social storage cloud

implementation in Facebook.

Index Terms-- SPB (sparky preference based); Social Cloud; Seattle; social clearing house; services computing;



AFS: PRIVACY-PRESERVING PUBLIC AUDITING WITH DATA FRESHNESS IN THE

CLOUD (CS010)

P. Maheswari1, B. Sindhumathi2

Syed Ammal Engineering College, Ramanathapuram , Tamil Nadu.

Abstract-- In Cloud Storage, users can remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high quality applications and

services. The integrity of cloud data is subject to skepticism due to the existence of hardware/software failures and

human errors. Several mechanisms have been designed to allow both data owners and public verifiers to efficiently audit

cloud data integrity without retrieving the entire data from the cloud server. However, public auditing on the integrity of

shared data with these existing mechanisms will supports public auditing on shared data stored in the cloud that exploit

ring signature to compute verification metadata needed to audit the correctness of shared data.so that a third party auditor

(TPA) is able to verify the integrity of shared data for users without retrieving the entire data. Meanwhile, the identity of

the signer on each block in shared data is kept private from the TPA also able to perform multiple auditing tasks

simultaneously instead of verifying them one by one. In this paper, we proved the data freshness (proved the cloud

possesses the latest version of shared data) while still preserving identity privacy. Our experimental result ensures that

retrieved data always reflects the most recent updates and prevents rollback attacks.

Index terms-- AFS (Authenticated File System); data freshness; public auditing; shared data.

SECURE CLOUD STORAGE FOR PRIVACY PRESERVING USING PUBLIC AUDITING

(CS011) S.Sahana1, A.Kanmani2

Syed ammal engineering college, Ramanathapuram, India.

Abstract-- Users can remotely store their data in the cloud storage and can use the applications and services from a

collective pool of configurable computing resources, without the trouble of local data storage and protection.

Additionally, users should be able to just use the cloud storage as if it is local, without worrying about the need to

authenticate its integrity. Hence, enabling public auditability for cloud storage is of critical importance so that users can

resort to a Third Party Auditor (TPA) to prove the reliability of outsourced data and be burden free. To strongly initiate a

valuable TPA, the auditing process should bring in no new vulnerabilities toward user data confidentiality, and bring in

no other online trouble to user. In this paper, we propose a protected cloud storage system supporting privacy-preserving

public auditing for active data. To allow the TPA to carry out audits for multiple users simultaneously and also prove the

accuracy of remotely stored data efficiently. The audit outcome would also be useful for the cloud service providers to progress the cloud service platform. Extensive protection and performance analysis show the proposed schemes are

provably protected and highly efficient. The test accomplished on Amazon EC2 instance further demonstrates the fast

performance of the design.

Index Terms-- Data Storage, privacy-preserving, public auditability, cloud computing, batch verification.

MULTIMEDIA BASED SEARCH ENGINE (CS024)

J.Dhivya1, S.Jennifer2 , M.Esakkiammal3, M.S.Vinmathi4

Panimalar Engineering College, Chennai, India.

Abstract-- Multimedia is the media which can generate web information using various content forms.Community

question answering (cQA) services have gained popularity over the past years. It not only allows community members to

post and answer questions but also enables general users to seek information from a comprehensive set of well answered

questions. However the major drawback is that it can able to retrieve only textual answers, which is not enough for many

questions. Hence to overcome this problem,we uses Multimedia Question Answering (MMQA) approach in which users

can able to obtain answers in the form of relevant text, image and video format. The results obtained in this approach are

more informative to user than the existing approaches.

Keywords-- CQA, question answering, reranking.

Deepika.S1, MadhuMidha.S2, PriyaDharsini.G3

KSR College of Engineering, TamilNadu, India.

Abstract-- For as long as we’ve been imagining emotionally intelligent machines, we have pictured something at least

mildly resembling human form. From George Lucas’C-3PO, to the recently developed Robot kind Zeno R25, our vision

for robotic companionship has typically involved two arms and two legs. The aims to bring artificial intelligence to

consumers in the form of a cube small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Emo Spark is an Android powered Wi-

Fi/Bluetooth cube that allows users to create and interact with an emotionally concise intelligence through conversation,

music, and visual media. Over time, the cube creates a customized Emotional Profile Graph (EPG) which collects and

measures a unique emotional input from the user. The EPG allows the cube to virtually “feel” senses such as pleasure

and pain; and “expresses” those desires according to the user. The future of AI interactions is here. The digital world will

never be the same again. This is the world’s first “Emotional Intelligence” device and its capabilities and benefits are

unlimited.

Keywords-- Emotional Profile Graph, haywire, Webee automation

Abstract--Glaucoma is a disease of the eye, characterized by increased Intraocular Pressure (IOP), excavation and

atrophy of optic nerve. Without treatment, glaucoma can cause total permanent blindness. A technique for automated

screening of glaucoma from retinal fundus images using wavelet features is presented in this paper. The discussed

wavelet features such as mean and entropy values are obtained by using daubechies (db3) wavelet filter. Thus the

features are validated by classifying the normal and glaucoma images using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The

performance is analysed with evaluation metrics in terms of accuracy and specificity. Thus the observed accuracy and

specificity is 79% and 100% respectively.

Syed Ammal Engineering College,Ramanathapuram, India.

Abstract-- Building high Quality cloud applications becomes an immediately required research problem in cloud

computing technology. Non-functional performance of cloud services is generally described by Quality-of-Service

(QoS). To acquire QoS values, real-world usage of services candidates are generally required. At this time, there is no

framework that can allow users to estimate cloud services and rank them based on their QoS values. This paper intends to

framework and a mechanism that measures the quality and ranks cloud services for the users. Cloud Rank framework by

taking the advantage of past service usage experiences of other users. So it can avoid the time consuming and expensive

real life service invocation. This methodology determines the QoS ranking directly using the two personalized QoS

ranking prediction approach namely, CloudRank1 and CloudRank2. These algorithms make sure that the active services

are correctly ranked. The core determination is ranking prediction of client side QoS properties, which likely have

different values for dissimilar users of the same cloud service. It estimates all the applicant services at the user-side and

rank the services based on the observed QoS values.

Abstract--In this digital era, the tremendous change in the field of wireless communication system raises the demand of

the communication spectrum. This case influences the designing of cognitive radio network which allows dynamic

spectrum allocation between licensed and an unlicensed users such that if there is any unused space in the licensed user

band then that space can be utilized by an unlicensed user without any interference to licensed user. Since this network

allows unlicensed users, attacker can easily enter into the network and make jamming attack during transmission. In

order to avoid jamming attack this project work proposes a system to detect an onset of jamming attack using cumulative

sum approach and prevents this attack by allowing the user to move from one slot to another proactively.

Abstract-- Peer-to-Peer networks are decentralized network and each nodes act as client as well as server in sharing the

data. Hence, this network can easily do the malicious activities. In order to solve this activity a trust model is

designed with the peer to peer network. This trust model is built by past transaction history collected among the nodes

participated in peer to peer network. The level of trustworthiness of the nodes is calculated by the interaction and

recommendations are computed from the collected transaction history. The trust credential is ranked by the level of

trustworthiness of the node. That node has high ranked credential that is treated as highly trusted node. In existing

research works, a node wants a service from other nodes by calculating the services parameters such as service metric

level and service history size are equal to computed in a random fashion this degrades the quality of services and time

complexity in terms of trustworthiness. In order to avoid this, it is proposed a trust model to improve the quality of

services and time complexity in terms of trustworthiness with computing the trustworthiness with the service metrics by

calculating the loads of each node. Then the service requested node gets the service from the minimum load of Service

Provider node, this gives an effectively service process to get the data.

IndexTerms-- Peer to peer network, trustworthiness, Reputation, security, minimum load.

Abstract-- Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), also called as intermittently connected mobile networks, are wireless

networks in which a fully connected path from source to destination is unlikely to exist. However, effective forwarding

based on a limited knowledge of contact behavior of nodes is challenging. When large files need to be transferred from source to destination make all the packets available at the source and transfer the file as small packets. We study the

packets arrival at source and analysis their performance. We consider the linear blocks and rateless linear coding to

generate redundancy and also for energy constraint .We scheduling the large file into small packets and delivering through multipath to destination, for this we use optimal user centric allocation and scheduling the packets in the receiver

side.

there is a necessity of data recovery services. To cater this, in this paper we propose a smart remote data backup

algorithm, Seed Block Algorithm (SBA). The objective of proposed algorithm is twofold; first it help the users to collect

information from any remote location in the absence of network connectivity and second to recover the files in case of

the file deletion or if the cloud gets destroyed due to any reason. The time related issues are also being solved by

Abstract-- Multimedia is the media which can generate web information using various content forms.Community

question answering (cQA) services have gained popularity over the past years. It not only allows community members to

post and answer questions but also enables general users to seek information from a comprehensive set of well answered

questions. However the major drawback is that it can able to retrieve only textual answers, which is not enough for many

questions. Hence to overcome this problem,we uses Multimedia Question Answering (MMQA) approach in which users

can able to obtain answers in the form of relevant text, image and video format. The results obtained in this approach are

more informative to user than the existing approaches.

J.J. College of Engineering and Technology, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract-- The current image retrieval systems are successful in retrieving images, using keyword based approaches.

However, they are incapable to retrieve the images which are context sensitive and annotated inappropriately. Content-

Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) aims at developing techniques that support effective searching and browsing of large

image repositories, based on automatically derived image features. The current CBIR systems suffer from the semantic

gap. Though a user feedback is suggested as a remedy to this problem, it often leads to distraction in the search. To

overcome these disadvantages, novel interactive keyword based image retrieval and integrating text with image content

are proposed to enhance the retrieval accuracy. Also GOOGLE search engine is used as a back end to search and

retrieved images with their link. The robustness of the result obtained by the proposed method is shown by various

performance analyses like different web browsers, different internet service providers and etc.

Abstract-- This paper is concern with accelerating the vector quantization algorithm to design and training the codebook

for Automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. Two algorithms are proposed in this codebook design namely

Accelerating Algorithm and Q-MSB Sorting Algorithm.

The first algorithm uses the idea of generalized Lloyd algorithm (GLA) that is placing a vector in a training sequence at

Least Distance Partition (LDP) as in permeable iteration or in a partition within a very small subset. This algorithm

reduces the computational time, local optimal problem by minimizing the number of partitions while searching for LDP

training vector and it create the size of the subset is much smaller than the total number of code vector, by which the

search process is accelerate automatically. It uses the fact that a vector in a training sequence is placed in the same LDP

as in the previous iteration or placed in a partition within the Nearest Neighborhood Partition Set (NNPS) of the pervious

LDP. The size of the NNPS is much smaller than the total number of partitions; the full search process is significantly

accelerated. The NNPSs created using the proposed method confirms that the NNPS together with the LDP of the

previous iteration contains the best matching partition found by the full search process

The second algorithm called Q-MSB sorting was proposed to sort the N-1 neighbors of each partition according to their

distances. A Trio-matrix distance calculation was employed to reduce the number of calculations of distances between a

partition and its neighbors. The experimental results shows that proposed Algorithm improves the computation time of

codebook training by factors from 7.8 to 60.9 for the data set.

Syed Ammal Engineering College, Ramanathapuram, Tamilnadu, India.

Abstract-- Motivated by the needs of semantic search and retrieval of multimedia contents, operating directly on the

video based annotations can be thought as a reasonable way for meeting these needs as video is a common standard

providing a wide multimedia content description schema. Raw data and low-level features alone are not satisfactory to

fulfil the user’s requirements; that means, a deeper understanding of the content at the semantic level is necessary. A

semantic content extraction system that allows the user to query and regain objects, events, and concepts that are

extracted automatically is proposed. In automatic extraction process, starts with object and define class for each process

in video data. A new ontology based fuzzy video data semantic model uses spatial/temporal relation in event and concept

definition is declared. Objects extracted from consecutive representative frames are processed to extract temporal

relations. In addition to that, additional rule to lower spatial relation computation cost and to be able to define some

difficult situations more successfully is used. Event extraction process uses items, spatial dealings among objects and

time-based dealings among events. Likewise, objects and events are used in idea mining practice.

Keywords-- Semantic content extraction, video content modeling, fuzziness, ontology.

Abstract-- An extensive helplessness of wireless networks, in exacting, the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET), is their

vulnerability to node compromise and physical capture attacks. Detecting replication attacks is a nontrivial problem in

MANETs due to the challenges resulted from node mobility, cloned and compromised node collusion, and the outsized

number and extensive of the replicas. It has two replication detection schemes Time Domain Detection (TDD) and Space

Domain Detection (SDD), the theoretical analysis indicates that TDD and SDD provide high detection accuracy and

excellent resilience against smart and colluding replicas. It has no restriction on the number and distribution of replicas,

and incurs low communication and computation overhead. According to theoretical analysis, for validating the path to

occur any interference before transmitting the data from source to destination the RIP Protocol, TDD and SDD are the

only approaches that support mobile networks that places no restrictions on the number and distribution of the cloned

frauds and on whether the replicas collude or not.

QUERIES FOR UNCERTAIN DATA (CS102)

Abstract--Database systems for uncertain and probabilistic data promise to have many applications. Query processing on

uncertain data occurs in the contexts of data warehousing, data integration, and of processing data extracted from the

Web. Data cleaning can be fruitfully approached as a problem of reducing uncertainty in data and requires the

management and processing of large amounts of uncertain data. Decision support and diagnosis systems employ

hypothetical queries. Scientific databases, which store outcomes of scientific experiments, frequently contain uncertain

data such as incomplete observations or imprecise measurements. Sensor and RFID data is inherently uncertain.

Applications in the contexts of fighting crime or terrorism, tracking moving objects, surveillance, and plagiarism

detection essentially rely on techniques for processing and managing large uncertain datasets. Beyond that, many further

potential applications of probabilistic databases exist and will manifest themselves once such systems become available.

Frequent items in a large data set are commonly referred to as heavy hitters. More precisely, the heavy hitters in a data

set are those items whose relative frequency exceeds a specified threshold. We can easily adapt our algorithms to answer

top-k queries, returning the k items with the largest confidence of being heavy hitters.

Bharathidasan Institute of Technology, Anna University,Tiruchirappalli-24,India.

Abstract- In this paper, Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) scheme using Difference Pair Mapping (DPM) technique is

proposed in the two dimensional (2-D) difference histogram modifications. A sequence of dissimilar values is computed

taking into account each pixel pair and its background. Using the frequency of the resulting dissimilar pairs, a

two dimensional dissimilarity histogram is generated. Specifically designed DPM is finally used to embed reversible

data. This DPM is a one-to-one mapping defined on dissimilarity pairs. This specifically designed DPM is just the

extension of embedding and shifting techniques used in the present histogram based RDH methods. It is intended to

exploit the image redundancy and there by achieving an improved embedding performance. A pixel pair selection

strategy is employed to identify and to make use the pixel pairs located in the smooth image regions to embed data. By

the proposed method, unlike in the pixel pair mapping technique where pairs of pixels were selected to embed data in an

image, a local image region is identified employing pixel pair differences method. This proposed system is expected to

have more data bits embedded in an image than the existing methods to achieve better image quality as well as to

improve PSNR value.

Abstract-- Detecting moving objects in video sequences is very important in visual surveillance. This describes a method

for accurately tracking persons in indoor and outdoor surveillance video stream obtained from a static camera with

difficult scene properties including illumination changes and solves the major occlusion problem. Detecting and tracking

multiple moving objects in a complex environment with indoor and outdoor surveillance video stream obtained from

static camera. The background subtraction method is to use the difference method of the current image and background

image to detect moving objects, simple algorithm, but very sensitive to the changes in the external environment. Tracking

is usually performed in the context of higher-level applications that require the location or shape of the object in every

frame. Also, it can contain regions that correspond to two or more objects, which is called merged detection. These both

events split and merged detections make the trajectory estimation and object counting a challenging task. For intelligent

surveillance related applications, multiple objects and occlusion are major difficulties. The proposed work is to detect the

motion and hence to track the movement of multiple objects in a scene for efficient and intelligent surveillance.

Abstract-- Fingerprint-based methods are widely adopted for indoor localization purpose because of their cost-

effectiveness compared to other infrastructure-based positioning systems. However, the popular location fingerprint,

Received Signal Strength (RSS), is observed to differ significantly across different devices’ hardware even under the

same wireless conditions. We derive analytically a robust location fingerprint definition, the Signal Strength Difference

(SSD), and verify its performance experimentally using a number of different mobile devices with heterogeneous

hardware. Our experiments have also considered both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, as well as both Access-Point (AP)-

based localization and Mobile-Node (MN)-assisted localization. Here the results of two well-known localization

algorithms (K Nearest Neighbor and Bayesian Inference) when our proposed fingerprint is used and demonstrate its

robustness when the testing device differs from the training device. Also compare these SSD-based localization

algorithms’ performance against that of two other approaches in the literature that are designed to mitigate the effects of

mobile node hardware variations, and show that SSD-based algorithms have better accuracy.

ABSTRACT--Network security starts with authenticating, commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires

just one detail authenticating the user name and sometimes termed one-factor authentication. With two- factor

authentication, something the user 'has' is also used, with three-factor authentication, something the user 'is' is also used.

Biometric systems are mostly used for authentication, which is a one to one authorization. It can also be used to verify a

person's identity. Most of the existing techniques make use of the key for the fingerprint privacy protection, which

creates the inconvenience. Here, the user identity may be compromised when both the key and the protected fingerprints

are stolen. It requires two separate databases and decryption. Those systems are easily vulnerable to the attacker and

authorized person data can be hacked easily. In the traditional approach, functions are based only on the key. In the

proposed system, the privacy is provided by combining two different fingerprints into a new identity. The minutiae positions are taken from one fingerprint and the minutiae orientation on other fingerprint. A complete minutiae feature of

a single fingerprint will not be compromised when the database is stolen. The minutiae templates are difficult to

distinguish hence, the Security and Privacy will also be high and the data hacking is not possible.

Abstract--Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) refers to a network designed for special applications for which it is difficult to use a backbone network. In MANETs, applications are mostly involved with sensitive and secret information. Since

MANET assumes a trusted environment for routing, security is a major issue. In this paper we analyze the vulnerabilities

of a pro-active routing pro-tocol called optimized link state routing (OLSR) against a specific type of denial-of-service (DOS) attack called node isolation attack. Analyzing the attack, we propose a mechanism called enhanced OLSR

(EOLSR) protocol which is a trust based technique to se-cure the OLSR nodes against the attack. Our technique is capa-

ble of finding whether a node is advertising correct topology information or not by verifying its Hello packets, thus

detecting node isolation attacks. The experiment results show that our protocol is able to achieve routing security with 45% increase in packet delivery ratio and 44% reduction in packet loss rate when compared to standard OLSR under

node isolation attack. Our technique is light weight because it doesn’t involve high computational complexity for

securing the network.

NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR IRIS TEXTURE ANALYSIS AND FEATURE EXTRACTION

BASED ON LOCAL BINARY PATTERN (CS130) D. Indradevi1

Indra Ganesan College Of Engineering.

Abstract-- In this paper a novel feature extraction method and Iris Texture analysis is proposed for extracting diverse sets

of local crucial information in an iris to compensate the problem of high dimensional features and accurate recognition

problem caused by the feature extraction error. Firstly, an efficient computational framework with 2-D convolution

kernel is designed to characterize the iris image, and to produce discriminating low-level features. The proposed kernels decompose the normalized iris image into multiple kernel candidates and project the iris patterns into different kinds of

features namely texture and edges. Secondly, the compact convolution kernel is designed to overcome the problem of

insignificant kernel based on separability measure of the kernel images. Two new feature spaces are generated to extract

the texture and edge descriptor and the discriminate features extracted from every feature images are concatenated as

compact feature vector. Compared with the traditional single iris feature space representation, the proposed multi iris

feature space generates better classification by considering intra class compactness and interclass separability.

Experimental results prove that the proposed approach provides good discrimination between the features and the

dimensionality of the proposed iris feature vector is also less when compared with existing techniques. Matching is

performed separately between the same kind of feature vectors and the final decision is made by combining the matching

scores based on the accuracy of each feature set.

(CS151) G.Tamilkumaran1

Indra Ganesan College Of Engineering.

Abstract-- In this paper, we present a novel privacy-preserving security solution for cloud services. We deal with user anonymous access to cloud services and shared storage servers. Our solution provides registered users with anonymous

access to cloud services. Our solution offers anonymous authentication. This means that users’ personal attributes (age,

valid registration, successful payment) can be proven without revealing users’ identity. Thus, users can use services

without any threat of profiling their behavior. On the other hand, if users break provider’s rules, their access rights are revoked. We analyze current privacy preserving solutions for cloud services and outline our

solution based on advanced cryptographic components. Our solution offers anonymous access, unlink ability and the

confidentiality of transmitted data. Moreover, we implement our solution and we output the experimental results and

compare the performance with related solutions.

Agnus.S.Swarnanisha Lakshmi1, C.Kalpana2, A.Manimaran3

Infant Jesus College Of Engineering, Accel Frontline,Tuticorin.

Abstract--In INDIA, too many people die due to lack of diagnosis at the required time, non- availability of medicines at

the right time and non-affordable rates of those medicines. When there is urgent need of drugs, especially at night times,

the drug stores might not be open or drugs might be out of stock. This increases the vulnerability of the situation. So, to

overcome this, medicines must be made available 24x7, at affordable rates. Improvements in technology of embedded

systems make this possible. In this paper, a machine which provides both OTC and Schedule H & X drugs, 24x7 is

proposed. It makes us possible to access first aid requirements in public places. Security check is also provided in case of

access to Schedule X & H drugs. These machines, further helps in avoidance of drop-outs from vigilance squads, rush in

medical stores in hospitals and ensure continuity of off-the-bed treatment. This can be implemented in real time and

installed in places like railway stations, NH roads, malls and most essentially in areas where access to drug stores are

limited. This reduces the death rate due to non-availability of medicines at the right time. Keywords-- OTC, prescription drugs, access id, security, death rate reduction.

Abstract-- Due to the trade-off between power, area and performance, various efforts have been done. This work is also

based to reduce the power dissipation of the vlsi circuits with the performance upto the acceptable level. The dominant

term in a well designed vlsi circuit is the switching power and low-power design thus becomes the task of minimizing

this switching power. So, to design a low-power vlsi circuit, it is preferable to use Non-clocked logic styles as they have

less switching power. In this work various Non-clocked logic styles are compared by performing transistor level

simulations for half adder circuit using TSMC 0.18 μm Technology and Eldo simulator of Mentor graphics. Keywords-- Low-power, Non-clocked logic style, Half adder, DCVS, DSL, CNTL.

Vel Tech Dr.Rr And Dr.Sr Technical University, Tamil Nadu,India.

Abstract-- This paper describes a reconfigurable Implementation for variable low pass, high pass, band pass and band

stop responses of a FIR filters. The warped filters is a type of variable digital filter,which can be obtained by replacing

each unit delay of a digital filter with an all-pass filter, are widely used for various audio processing applications.

However, warped filters require first-order all-pass transformation to obtain variable low-pass or high-pass responses,

and second-order all-pass transformation to obtain variable band pass or band stop responses. Here we combine warped

filters with the coefficient decimation technique so that transformation of warped filter is reduced .This warped filter

coefficient will be used to tuning cut-off frequency and decimation coefficient is used to changing tap responses. It

provides a variable responses on the fly without the need of updating the filter coefficients. A booth multiplier and DA

based approach is proposed for multiplication .In this way computational speed and area efficiency will be attained. The

proposed architecture is verified through functional verification with the filter coefficients or filter structure.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IN LTE NETWORK USING HANDOVER

PARAMETER OPTIMIZATION (EC028-1) S.Jacqulin Veda Jancy1, B.Jesvin Veancy2

Easwari Engineering College Easwari Engineering College, Chennai.

Abstract-- Handover is a process that ensures seamless connection when users are moving across the radio cells. In LTE

network cell edge users suffer from unnecessary handover which in turn reduces the network performance. LTE is the

new standard specified by the Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) on the way towards 4G mobile

communication which consists of heterogeneous networks. Handover procedure fails for cell edge users in macro cell

based LTE network due to coverage and bandwidth limitations. Femto cells are employed at the cell edge to cover the

blank spot which is not covered by macrocell base station. Unnecessary triggering of handover process increases frequent

handover or late handover which results in handover failure. The main objective of this paper is to decrease the handover

failure rate at the cell edge and to increase the network performance in Femto cell based LTE network. Thus accurate

handover operating point has to be calculated to trigger the handover process based on the user movement. This is achieved by optimizing the handover parameters based on handover parameter indicators values. Simulations are done to

indicate the reduction in handover failure rate in LTE network.

Abstract-- In this paper, an instrument for estimation of R, L, and C passive components parameters under nonsinusoidal

condition using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed. In Electric and Electronic industries for device

manufacturing, the designers regularly work with nonsinusoidal waveforms. In which all the R, L, and C passive

components used in these circuits are using stimuli of nonsinusoidal signal. The performance of resistors, inductors and

capacitors are very different from those estimated under the sinusoidal signal atmosphere due to their intrinsic

environments takes place. This trouble is more critical in applications such as the construction of hybrid filters and digital

protection circuits in power systems, in which the electrical and electronic circuits design and control depend on the

perfect selection of the R, L and C components. So, the measurement instrument using Field Gate Programmable Array

Alice A OXFORD ENGINEERING COLLEGE

Abstract-- Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has rapidly gained in popularity over the past decade due

to its powerful performance-enhancing capabilities. MIMO channels provide a number of advantages over conventional

SISO channels such as the array gain, the diversity gain, and the multiplexing gain. The multiplexing gain is a unique

characteristic of MIMO channels. In most Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems, exhibit a single diversity value for all fixed rates. In MIMO systems under a Zero-padding (ZP) transmission, Zero-forcing (ZF) does not achieve

full diversity. The minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receiver attains the optimal diversity of a Maximum Likelihood

(ML) receiver but only at small spectral efficiencies. To improve the performances, consider Lattice reduction (LR) technique. The Lattice-reduction-aided zero forcing equalizer as well as MMSE equalizer achieves the maximum spatial

and temporal diversity at all spectral efficiencies.

SUMRATE MAXIMIZATION BY OPTIMAL PRECODER DESIGN FOR MIMO

RETRANSMISSION SYSTEM (EC086) J. Bemina1

Anand Institute of Higher Technology, Chennai 603 103.

Abstract-- MIMO system offers substantial gain in throughput and link reliability in wireless systems. Precoding in MIMO plays a vital role in mitigating fading and co-channel interference effects in time-variant channels. Despite of

these advantages, the wireless system is more prone to packet errors and loss due to channel distortions, noise or fading.

This in turn invokes the necessity of retransmission in MIMO. A codebook based precoding approach is used in retransmission systems in which instead of using a single codebook, a new codebook is designed for each retransmission

using Lloyd Algorithm which minimizes the average distortion. This approach combines the effect of precoding and

retransmission in MIMO thereby provides high sum rate and BER.

NOISE COMPENSATION (EC114) S.P.Minu Princy1 S.P.Shanu Princy2


Abstract-- In this brief, a scaling algorithm is proposed for VLSI implementation of an image scaling processor .The

memory demand for this proposed scaling algorithm is low. It is a low complexity and high quality algorithm. The

anticipated algorithm consists of a bilinear interpolation, a clamp filter, and a sharpening spatial filter . The sharpening

spatial filter and clamp filter acts as a prefilter to minimize the aliasing artifacts and blurring effect present in the image.

These filters are also used to enhance the image quality and results the high performance. The bilinear interpolation

algorithm is preferred owing to its low complexity and high quality. The bilinear interpolation is simplified by the

hardware sharing technique and by algebraic manipulation. It efficiently reduces computing resource and hardware costs.

The clamp filter and sharpening spatial filters both convoluted by a 3×3 matrix coefficient kernel are combined into a

5×5 combinedconvolution filter to reduce memory buffers and computing resources for the very large scale integration

(VLSI) implementation. For Further cutback of the memory buffers and computing resources, a T-model and inversed T-

model convolution kernels are formed for realizing the sharpening spatial and clamp filters. In addition two T-model or

Abstract-- In this testable reversible sequential circuit, we are designing of two vectors testable sequential circuits based

on conservative logic gates. The sequential circuits based on conservative logic gates outperform the sequential circuits

implemented in classical gates in terms of testability and detect the fault. Any sequential circuit based on conservative

logic gates can be tested and detected for classical unidirectional stuck-at faults using only two test vectors. The two test

vectors are all 1s, and all 0s. The designs of two vectors testable latches, master-slave flip-flops and double edge

triggered (DET) flip-flops are presented. The importance of the proposed work lies in the fact that it provides the design

of reversible sequential circuits completely testable for any stuck-at fault by only two test vectors, thereby eliminating the

need for any type of scan-path access to internal memory cells. We are also presenting a new conservative logic gate

called multiplexer conservative QCA gate (MX-CQCA) that is not reversible in nature but has similar properties as the

Fredkin gate of working as 2:1 multiplexer. The proposed MX-CQCA gate surpasses the Fredkin gate in terms of

complexity, speed, and area. Keywords-- component; Cellular automata, conservative logic, Fredkin gate, quantum-dot, reversible logic.

AN ANONYMOUS PRIVACY PRESERVING ROUTING PROTOCOL FOR

LOCATION BASED MOBILE AD-HOC NETWORK (APPRP) (EC134)

S.D.Sundar1 , Ms. M.Revathi2

Paavaai Group of Institutions, R.Puliyampatti, Namakkal.

Abstract-- Privacy-preserving routing is crucial for some ad hoc networks that require stronger privacy protection. A

number of anonymous routing schemes have been proposed for ad hoc networks in recent years, and they provide

different level of privacy protection at different cost. These schemes are more scalable to network size, but require more

computation effort. However, existing schemes provide only anonymity and unlinkability, while unobservability is never

considered or implemented by now. An obvious drawback in existing schemes is that packets are not protected as a

whole. An secure privacy-preserving routing protocol APPRP that achieves content unobservability by employing

anonymous key establishment based on group signature. APPRP is to protect all parts of a packet’s content and it is

independent of solutions on traffic pattern unobservability. The unobservable routing protocol is then executed in two

phases. First, an anonymous key establishment process is performed to construct secret session keys. Then an

unobservable route discovery process is executed to find a route to the destination.

Keywords-- Privacy-preserving routing, unlinkability, unobservability, anonymity group signature, ID-based encryption.

Abstract--IMAGE scaling is widely used in many fields, ranging from consumer electronics to medical imaging. In many

practical real-time applications, the scaling process is included in end-user equipment, so a good lower complexity

scaling technique, which is simple and suitable for low-cost VLSI implementation,is needed.here we proposed a low-

complexity, low-memory requirement,and high-quality algorithm is proposed for VLSI implementation of an image

scaling processor. The proposed Image scaling algorithm consists of a sharpening spatial filter, a clamp filter, and a

bilinear interpolation.To reduce the blurring and aliasing artifacts produced by the bilinear interpolation,the sharpening

spatial and clamp filters are added as prefilters. To minimize the memory buffers and computing resources here we use

hybrid method to combine spatial and clamp filter. Hardware cost is reduced by reconfigurable unit but large numbers of

adders are used. This will increase overall delay of the filter .in order to reduce the delay we propose high speed parallel

prefix based link adder with high valency. The experimental results will demonstrate that the proposed design performs

better than other lower complexity image scaling methods in terms of area and power overhead.

Keywords--image quality (IQ) , reconfigurable calculation units (RCUs), multiplier–adder (MA).

Munusamy.E 1,Thirumal.L2

Varuvan Vadivelan Institute Of Technology, Dharmapuri.

Abstract--Traditional routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) send periodic messages to realize the

changes in topology. Sending periodic messages cause overhead. Due to high mobility of nodes in mobile ad hoc

networks (MANETs), there exist frequent link breakages which lead to frequent path failures and route discoveries. In a

route discovery, broadcasting is a fundamental and effective data dissemination mechanism, in this paper; we propose a

neighbor coverage-based probabilistic rebroadcast protocol for reducing routing overhead in MANETs. In order to

effectively exploit the neighbor coverage knowledge. We can obtain the more accurate additional coverage ratio by

sensing neighbor coverage knowledge. We also define a connectivity factor to provide the node density adaptation. By

combining the additional coverage ratio and connectivity factor, we set a reasonable rebroadcast probability. Our

approach combines the advantages of the neighbor coverage knowledge the probabilistic mechanism and security

protocols which can significantly decrease the number of retransmissions so as to reduce the routing overhead, As well as

security is also a challenging factor in ad hoc networks. Resisting flooding attacks in ad hoc networks these technique

exploit secure data communication.General Terms-- Wireless Networks, Mobile Ad hoc Networks.

Abstract-- Based on fast FIR algorithms (FFAs), we propose distributed arithmetic algorithm based new parallel FIR

filter architectures, which are beneficial to symmetric convolutions in terms of the hardware cost. Multipliers are the

major portions in hardware consumption for the parallel FIR filter implementation. xchanging multipliers with adders is

advantageous because adders weight less than multipliers in terms of silicon area, and in addition, the overhead from the

increase in adders in preprocessing and post processing blocks stay fixed, not increasing along with the length of the FIR

filter, whereas the number of reduced multipliers increases along with the length of the FIR filter. In this project, we

propose an Linear Phase FIR Filter using Parallel Distributed Arithmetic Algorithm.

Abstract-- A major problem in voice communication over the Internet is represented by the created echo, due to the

microphones used and the very high latency of the transmission. The presence of a large acoustic coupling between the

loudspeaker and microphone would produce a loud echo that would make conversation difficult. They deals with low

frequencies and we can get good result in case of acoustic echo cancellation for low frequency signals. The Kalman filter

is a very powerful tool when it comes to controlling noisy systems. The basic idea of a Kalman filter is noisy data in

hopefully less noisy data out. In this paper we study the kalman filter in the context of echo cancellation. For each

iterations, insert block of time samples instead of one time sample. And the general kalman filter is connected to the adaptive filter for echo cancellation. That is to apply the Normalized least-mean-square algorithm (NLMS), the affine

Abstract-- In this paper, novel hardware architecture for performing point, line and edge detection using DAA is

proposed. Such detections are vital in digital image processing applications and in the literature most of the

implementations are on software platform only, especially in Matlab. Distributed Arithmetic Architecture (DAA) has

been widely used to implement inner product computations with fixed inputs. Conventional ROM-based DAA suffers

from large ROM requirements. To reduce the memory requirement, adder based DAA uses pre-defined structure for

computation. However, both the methods are suitable only if one input is constant. The proposed architecture overcomes

this disadvantage. The new architecture is termed as Multiplexer based Distributed Arithmetic Architecture (MUX based

DAA). The proposed architecture uses Multiplexer and DAA for inner product computations when both the inputs are

variables. In addition, it reduces ROM requirement and complexity in constructing Adder based architecture for higher

order inputs. The performance of the proposed architecture is compared with multiplier based implementation for 4-bit

and 8-bit cases. The modules are implemented on the Cadence 180nm technology. The MUX based DAA reduces power up to 81% and needs only 40% of area as compared with multiplier based implementation.

VAR COMPENSATION OF AC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (EE053) S.Swetha1

Vel Tech Technical University,Avadi, Chennai.

Abstract-- This project deals with the design and analysis of the performance of series and shunt compensation in

stability improvement of transmission system. FACTS devices such as Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is

used as a shunt compensator whereas static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is used as series compensator in this

project and the management of reactive power for the improvement of electric power system performance is analyzed by

designing the FACTS devices. Adequate reactive power control solves power quality problems like flat voltage profile

maintenance at all power transmission levels and improvement of power factor, transmission efficiency and system

stability. Series and Shunt VAR compensation techniques are used to modify the natural electrical characteristics of

electric power system. Series compensation modifies the reactance parameter of the transmission or distribution system,

while shunt compensation changes the equivalent load impedance. In both cases, the line reactive power can be

effectively controlled thereby improving the performance of the overall electric power system. All the simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink with detailed models of the SSSC and the STATCOM and the results obtained are

analyzed.

Abstract--Current solar power technology has little chance to compete with fossil fuels or large electric grids. Today’s

solar cells are simply not efficient enough and are currently too expensive to manufacture for large-scale electricity

generation. However, potential advancements in nanotechnology may open the door to the production of cheaper and

slightly more efficient solar cells. Nanotechnology might be able to increase the efficiency of solar cells, but the most

promising application of nanotechnology is the reduction of manufacturing cost. The basic concept is that Plastic is made

using Nano scale titanium particles coated in photovoltaic dyes, which generate electricity when they absorb light. These

new plastic solar cells utilize tiny nanorods dispersedwith in a polymer. The nanorods behave as wires because when

they absorb light of a specific wavelength they generate electrons. These electrons flow through the nanorods until they

reach the aluminum electrode where they are combined to form a current and are used as electricity. Another potential

feature of these solar cells is that the nanorods could be ‘tuned’ to absorb various wavelengths of light. This could significantly increase the efficiency of the solar cell because more of the incident light could be utilized.

Keywords--solar nanotechnology, nanoscale titanium, nanowires, inexpensive, increased efficiency.

Abstract-- This paper aims to present a morphological filter based electrocardiogram (ECG) QRS detector. An

electrocardiogram (ECG) is a low cost, noninvasive measure of cardiac electrical activity. It provides a lot of essential information to physicians for diagnosis of heart diseases. It consists of several complexes, the P-complex, the QRS-

complex, the T complex and the U-complex.QRS corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the

human heart. QRS detection is an important part of the ECG signal processing systems. There are many algorithms used

for QRS detection. In this QRS detection is done based on morphological filtering. Dilation and erosion are the two

morphological operators involved in the algorithm. The noises such as baseline wandering and background noise from

ECG signals are removed by mathematical morphological filters.Then applied modulus and accumulation operation in

peak value of ECG signal. Absolute value is then combined by multiple frame accumulation which enhances the filtered

ECG signal to make QRS peak easy to identify. Adaptive threshold is used as the decision function in connection with

the proposed transformation for QRS detection. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with standard MIT-BIH

arrhythmia database and calculates the values for QRS detection rate, positive prediction, sensitivity, accuracy etc.

Abstract-- Aviation field always come across a common issue throughout the world while planning their materials in

inventory. Cost of maintaining unwanted inventory can hit the revenue of the airline operations. So a near optimal solution is preferred for achieving this. Materials planning can be divided into two models i.e. stochastic and forecasted

model. Most of the airlines throughout the world follow stochastic models such as Max-Min, Reorder point (ROP)

method, etc. with the aid maintenance software packages widely available in market. It is found that they try to fit the

same methodology in almost complex dependent demand products in aviation where demand is discrete. The appropriate method for this scenario i.e. Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is found to be not considered. MRP is nothing but a

ccomputerized inventory control and production planning system which helps in scheduling the planned order releases

along with appropriate lot sizing. Keywords-- Inventory control, Maintenance, Materials, Material Requirement Planning (MRP), ABC analysis.

OPTIMIZATION OF PROCESS PARAMETERS OF TITANIUM GRADE 2 IN DRY AND

WET MACHINING USING TAGUCHI METHOD (IE040) S.Vinodhkumar1, K.Sivasakthivel2, R.Dillibabu3

Anna University,Chennai-600025, India.

Abstract-- Cutting fluids in machining operations help to remove the heat generated during cutting, to achieve better tool

life and surface finish and to facilitate the flushing of chips. The machining without the use of any cutting fluid is

becoming increasingly important due to concern regarding safety and environmental legalization. In addition it reduces

17% of manufacturing costs by not using cutting fluids. However in Dry machining operations, the friction and adhesion

between chip and tool tend to be higher , which causes higher temperatures , higher wear rates and shorter tool life . This

problem can overcome by using PVD coated TiAlN cutting tool. PVD - TiAlN coated carbide tools are used frequently in metal cutting process due to the higher hardness, wear resistance and chemical stability . In addition it improves tool

life and machining performance.

This paper reports the optimization of process parameters such as cutting speed (m/min),feed (mm/rev),depth of cut(mm)

and nose radius (mm) in Dry and Wet machining using Taguchi method. The work piece material is Titanium grade 2

materials which are most widely used in bio-medical applications due to its high strength to weight ratio and exceptional corrosion resistance. The cost of titanium still remains high cost but longer service life counter balance the production

cost. If the work piece material is machined by Dry machining the production cost will be reduced further without

affecting the quality parameters .Experiment was conducted on Dry and Wet machining with identical cutting parameters

. The main output monitored was the surface roughness.

Abstract-- In order to design the power apparatus such as bus bar or power cable, the current carrying capacity (or ampacity) should be determined exactly since it is limited by maximum operating temperature. The temperature rise in

the power apparatus is due to Joule’s loss in the current carrying conductor and due to the induced eddy current in the

panel board. This paper presents a new technique that can be used to estimate the temperature rise in medium voltage bus

bar. In this paper, the power losses are calculated from the magnetic field analysis for various materials when ac current

flows into the three-phase bus bar and are used as the input data to predict temperature rise for the thermal analysis. The

heat transfer coefficient is calculated according to the model geometry and varying temperature and is coupled with the

finite element method. The temperature distribution in the bus bar by proposed method shows good agreement with the

experimental data, compared to that of the analytic method using fixed coefficient.

AUTOMATION OF MEDIA FILTER (ME074) Anshuman Kulkarni1, Sunil Yadav2, Abhishek Mahajan3, Pravin Khachane4, V.D. Patil5, Avinash Bhedasgaonkar6

Abstract-- Media Filters are primarily used to separate suspended particles, river silt and other impurities from the water.

It is used in Irrigation and in Sewage water treatment. It has a robust fabrication with quality and precision. Media Filters

provide a fixed material on which a thin biological film is established by organisms in colonies growing on the surface of

the media as wastewater passes through the bed. These filters are used for fine sifting the water. These filters are capable

of handling high volume of flow up to 60,000 lit per hour. However they can be connected with help of header

assemblies for more volume of flow. So the need arises to control their operation automatically with the help of advance

in technology. Backwash operation is manual for the filter. We propose to use Pressure transmitter, electrically operated

valves, Microcontroller and timer for the operation for backwash operation. Pressure transmitters are used for two

pressure input at inlet and outlet. By setting a microcontroller we can measure ΔP. If the value of ΔP is larger than

specified value of designer, then a sequence of valves operate backwash mechanism. In backwashing of a filter the flow

of water is reversed in opposite direction.

Sinhgad Institute of Technology And Science, Pune, India

Abstract-- This paper deals with the vital role of aerostatic principle to lift the worm wheel. By using this technology the

fixture has been designed which specifies the significance. An aerostatic lift is a non-contacting system where air acts as

the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion. The main objective of providing aerostatic lift is to ensure

ease of operation. This also helps in reducing friction with the contacting surfaces and thus reducing the effort. For this

system external pressure has been provided. For this the required pressure is calculated to lift the entire load. The

application of this principle is used in design of bit pressing fixture. The fixture consists of worm wheel, which is heavy

and hence it is difficult to give manual feed to rotate the worm wheel so that to adjust different angular positions. This

technology of aerostatic lift helps in reducing frictional forces and thus helps in rotating the worm wheel through given

feed. It also helps in sliding the tooling arrangement of the fixture.

Sinhgad College of Engineering, Korti.

Abstract-- Practically water is incompressible. Reciprocating pumps are used for lifting water from deep well as well as

shallow water levels. If a close fitting piston is drawn through a pipe full of water, it will displace water along the pipe

similarly, raising a piston in submerged pipe will draw water up behind it till the vacuum which would otherwise occur.

In first case piston serves to create a vacuum and the water is actually displaced by atmospheric pressure pressing on its

external surface. In this paper, we suggested a manually operated single acting reciprocating pump, where power is

given by manual paddling. In this work, the system is designed and fabricated such that by manual efforts, water can be

displaced by soiled object using non return valve so that water level is raised. By using this pump, effort applied is

reduced and energy is conserve. The design proposed is economical and has no environmental harms. It is observed that

flow rate is 100 ml per cycle.

critical parts which are engaged with soil to prepare the land and to mix the fertilizer. These blades interact with soil in a

different way than normal plows which are subjected to impact that creates cyclic forces which result in fatigue failure of

the blade. This actually decreases the service life of a blade. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a suitable

blade. This paper describes the design modification and development of rotavator blade through the (CAD) interrogation

method by modifying the design and also by modifying the material properties. Then better design will be compared by comparing the results

INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS OF CASTING DEFECTS IN THE PUMP IMPELLER

(ME114)

Senthilvelan.S1, Velmurugan.C2

Kumaraguru college of technology, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.

Abstract-- An impeller in a pump is the part that the motor spins. Due to its design when it spins it creates a vacuum that pulls the water in the middle of an opening on the front of the impeller and throws it to the outside radically, where it is

then channeled to the output of the pump. Impeller creates defects arise due to improper casting process. To avoid these

defects a proper casting process must be selected and implemented. The selection of a proper gating system, runner and

riser design plays a major role in producing good castings. The defect shrinkage occurs due to the non-availability of

molten metal. If the additional metal is not present, it produces shrinkage. Generally shrinkage is common in places

where there is a large volume of metal is needed in casting. This can be avoided by proper gating design and producing

riser as required for the casting. It was decided to analyze the model of existing impeller through New Design Impeller

Gating system using Pro/E , Auto cast software packages to analyze shrinkage defects for quality assessment and closely

study the process. The possible areas of shrinkage occurring in casting can be located to take corrective actions.

Abstract-- This paper presents a new approach of implementing agile design and effective tool in manufacturing

concepts. The approach is based on the implementing the agile manufacturing system in Small Medium Enterprise (SME). Agile manufacturing is a term applied to an organization that has created the processes, tools, and training to

enable it to respond quickly to customer needs and market changes while still controlling costs and quality. An enabling

factor in becoming an agile manufacturer has been the development of manufacturing support technology that allows the

marketers, the designers and the production personnel to share a common database of parts and products, to share data on

production capacities and problems particularly where small initial problems may have larger downstream effects.

Understand the roles and responsibilities of Six Sigma practitioners. Identify the benefits of Six Sigma as a business

improvement methodology. The various process times for manufacturing a mono block pump were obtained from a

pump manufacturing industry. A flow diagram showing the process is drawn to reflect the current state of the operation.

This makes the redesigned process more effective and efficient. By reducing wastefulness the proportion of value adding

time in the whole process rises and speed is increased. This project addresses the application of agile manufacturing

concepts to the small scale pump manufacturing industry for increasing the production time and profit level.

Abstract-- Conventional manufacturing thought limits the rejection reduction plans to rejections which needs to be

scrapped and implies direct loss. But present scenario in manufacturing industries, which is facing a very competitive

environment, needs to consider not only rejections leading to scrap but also rejections which can be reworked or reused.

Rejections which leads to rework results in man-hour losses which in turn affects the productivity of the organization.

This paper focuses on assembly rejections of vacuum pump type alternators. Top of the Pareto is a rejection called

“Pump rotation tight” which accounts to 50% of total assembly line rejection of vacuum pump type alternators. In order

to reduce the rejection & rework, a study is conducted to analyze the rejection using appropriate statistical tools, Shainin

technique for assembly process which indicated that two of the sub assembly components were the root cause for the

rejection and subsequently optimize the subassembly shaft spline runout which is manufactured by cold rolling process using Taguchi Orthogonal array. Application of these tools helped in improving the knowledge base of the

manufacturing and assembly process and also helped narrowing down to the root cause or a number of root causes in

quick span of time.

Abstract--Now a days a manufacturing system is oriented towards higher production rate, quality, and reduced cost. Surface roughness is an index for determining the quality of machined products and is influenced by the cutting

parameters. In die manufacturing industries Surface roughness of dies are considered as a vital quality characteristic. For

the complex shapes of a die, three dimensional machining is done by ball end mill in the most cases. In this study the

average surface roughness value (Ra) for a die material AISI 4340 has been measured after ball end milling operation. Before conducting the experiments a design of experiment was done with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). 49

experiments have been conducted varying Cutter Axis Inclination Angle (Ø degree), Tool Diameter (d mm), Spindle

Speed (S rpm), Feed Rate (fymm/min), Feed (fx mm), Depth of Cut (t mm) in order to find Ra. This 49 data has been

used for training purpose and more 25 data has been collected with random selection of input parameters and used as

testing data set. The training data set has been used for train different ANFIS and RSM model for Ra prediction. And

testing data set has been used for validate the models. Better ANFIS model has been selected for minimum value of mean

square error (MSE) which is constructed with two double sided Gaussian membership functions (gauss2MF) for each

input variables and a linear membership function for output. The Selected ANFIS model has been compared with

theoretical model and RSM. This comparison was done based or Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute

Percentage of Error (MAPE). The comparison shows that the selected ANFIS model gives better result for training and

testing dataset. So, this ANFIS model can be used further for predicting surface roughness of a commercial die material

(AISI 4340) for ball end milling operation. Correlation test shows that only cutter axis inclination angle and feed (fxmm) have correlations with surface roughness.

Abstract-- Hard turning is the process of machining materials of higher hardness (above 45 HRC), predominantly

superior hardened steels by using CBN and PCBN inserts in CNC turning centres. When compared to conventional

grinding, hard turning produces parts with more dimensional accuracy and good surface finish. Most importantly it

eliminates the grinding process. The problem faced in hard turning is the formation of white layer over the surface of the

work that is caused by the

(a)The mechanism of plastic flow producing a homogeneous structure or one with a very fine grain structure.

(b) The mechanism of rapid heating and quenching resulting in transformation products.

(c) The mechanism of surface reaction with the environment such as nitriding, carburizing and oxide ploughing

The white layer decreases the fatigue life of the work material. The main objective of this paper is to reduce the

white layer on the surface of work. Pre machining of AISI D2 steel is pre-machined by using tungsten carbide tool to a

specified dimension, followed by heat treatment and increase the hardness of the part machined around 58HRC. Hard

turning is carried out by CNC turning centres using TiAlN coated CBN insert (round off edged). During the machining

process the shielding gas is supplied at a suitable pressure over the work and the formation of white layer due to

reactionwith theenvironmentis observed and analyzed by using scanning electron microscope

MANAGING CROSS-CULTURAL DIVERSITY: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES IN

GLOBAL ORGANIZATIONS (MG002) Diwakar Singh1

Gujarat University.

Abstract-- Today, globalization has become a reality. Advances in the field of information and technology and

liberalization in trade and investment have increased the ease and speed with which companies can manage their global operations. Due to globalization, many companies are now operating in more than one country. This crossing of

geographical boundaries by the companies gives the birth of multicultural organization where employees from more than

one country are working together. It may be true that companies are finding these expansions as attractive and lucrative

but operating and managing a global business is normally a lot tougher than managing a local company. The global

business is affected by a number of factors like differences in- socio, economic, cultural, legal and political

environments. The global business is also prone to a number of risks like political risk, currency risk, cross-cultural risks

etc... Human resources are required to perform at all operational levels across all business units be it domestic or global. In such circumstances, the risk of cross cultural discrepancies is inevitable. The aim of this paper is to find out these

discrepancies and then suggest some effective solutions to manage effectively the cross cultural aspect of human

resources for the success of global business.

Key words-- cross-culture, globalization, global business, expansion, diversity

ENSURING BRAND CLARITY AND CONSISTENCY IN TODAY’S MULTI-CHANNEL

WORLD (MG003) Jayanthan C1, Krishna Kumar N2

Abstract-- Strong brands influence customer choice. A brand becomes strong when it retains its core values and purpose

with time. Manifestation of these might change from time to time depending on internal and external factors. The key to combat is to have a strategic consistency for the brand to maintain its distinct identity.

A brand is an intangible asset and also a critical component of what a company stands for. Brands never become icons

over night and many of them have failed because they couldn't "connect" with their audience. Name of the brand,

Positioning and Packaging are the ingredients to be used so that the customer is not confused and a unique and distinct identity is built for the brand. (Jagdeep Kapoor, Managing Director, Samsika Marketing Consultancy)

So how do brands consistently ensure that they create their value?

How can the brands change the world in which they operate?

This research work has been carried out by forming and analyzing the propositions right from the foundation of

environment, employing people, owning a brand name (Geoffrey consulting), strengthening brand association (Nodal Map), creating emotional branding to stay in customers’ minds, tackling crisis and providing the best moments of truth to

engage the people in bringing the brand into their life.

All the information specified in this paper comes from a self-reported survey and is the result of analysis of the data. It is

our opinion; the information presented in this report represents an insightful and valuable assessment of the state of

branding which can be applied for any products/services in today’s multi-channel world.

Anna University, Chennai, India.

Abstract-- The construct of emotional intelligence was introduced to the academic and was put onto public by Goleman,

(1995) and Salovey and Mayer (1990) after which it started gaining its importance to understand how management can

use it efficiently for improving the quality of human resources in various organizations. The industries were no more,

once it used to be and the necessity of Emotional Intelligence for the employees is the need of the hour. The main

purpose of this paper is to study the impact of emotional intelligence on work performance. If the employees know their

own emotion and are able to manage them effectively, they can work more efficiently and be more productive to the

organization. Employees will also recognize and appreciate others colleagues. Emotionally intelligent people are highly

satisfied from their jobs. The components of Emotional Intelligence like Self Awareness, Self Management, Relationship Management, and Social Awareness were considered to analyze the potency of Emotional intelligence of the employees.

A single individual can collapse the emotion of a group and similarly the single individual can also convey how one can

effectively manage one’s emotions to a group of audience. The other factors that affect job performance is relations and

communication between management and employees. After reviewing the literatures it has been found that Emotional

intelligence is positively correlated with the work performance. A healthy relationship between management and

employees also lead to increase in employee’s performance and thereby leading to enhancing organization commitment.

In order to improve administrative performance and practices it is necessary to develop Emotional Intelligence

competencies in persons. The present paper is conceptual, analytical paper may provide more accurate results according

to variables measurement. The emotional intelligence constraints are also important for organization productivity, social

awareness, self-management and self-awareness. It was finally found that, it was effective personal competencies which

plays a vital role in emotional intelligence, leads to job satisfaction, that lead to organizational commitment that further leads to reduction in turnover intention, thereby enhancing the value and efficiency of the human resources. The

conclusions and associations of the research discussed were with reference to the previous findings.

A NEW PHASE SHIFTED ZVS CONVERTER WITH SERIES CONNECTED

TRANSFORMERS (EE020) Aswathi M Nair1, K.Keerthana2

Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Engineering College,

Abstract--This project presents a new dual bridge DC/DC converter for medium power applications which can solve the

drawbacks of conventionally existing phase-shifted full bridge converters. It eliminates the narrow zero voltage switching

(ZVS) range. The proposed converter configuration is composed of leading leg and lagging leg SHBIs. Phase shift control

is employed to control the phase difference between the two bridge inverters. By shifting the phase, the converter changes

the two inverters output voltage overlapping area to regulate its output voltage. The secondary side of the transformers is

connected in series so no output inductor is needed since each transformer individually acts as an inductor. This structure

allows the proposed converter to have the advantages of full ZVS range. ZVS eliminates turn on switching loss of the power switch. In this paper, the circuit analysis, operating principle and relevant analysis results of the proposed converters are

presented.

Index terms-- Full bridge converter, phase shift control, zero voltage switching.

Anna University ,College of Engineering Guindy

Abstract--The mechanical properties of cellular metals greatly depend on their relative density, cell topology, including cell

shape, cell size and material properties of the cell wall. However, the cell shape effect on the mechanical properties of such

materials appears to be ignored in previous research. In this study, cell shape effect of aluminum alloyed cellular metal

under compressive deformation behaviour was assessed under static and dynamic loading Conditions. Lotus type Cellular

metals with 90% relative density were manufactured via casting processes. Three typical cell shapes i.e. circular, square and

hexagonal are taken into consideration with three different types of orientations of aluminum cellular metal studied for same amount of relative density. Compressive behaviour of cellular metal were studied. The cellular metal also modelled using

commercial Finite Element (FE) simulation tool ANSYS 14.0. From the experimental results compression modulus of

Elasticity and Poisson ratios are calculated. The stress strain behaviour of both experimental and simulation results

compared.

DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CHASSIS IN 2214 TRUCK (ME163) S.A.Karthikeyan1 ,R.Pavendan2

J.J College Of Engineering & Technology, Trichy, Tamilnadu

Abstract--Truck chassis is a major component in a vehicle system. This work involves static and dynamics analysis to

determine the key characteristics of a truck chassis. The static characteristics include identifying location of high stress area

and determining the torsion stiffness of the chassis. The dynamic characteristics of truck chassis such as the natural

frequency and mode shape were determined by using finite element (FE) method. Experimental modal analysis was carried

out to validate the FE models. Modal updating of the truck chassis model was done by adjusting the selective properties

such as mass density and Poisson’s ratio. Predicted natural frequency and mode shape were validated against the

experimental results. Finally, the modification of the updated FE truck chassis model was proposed to reduce the vibration, improve the strength and optimize the weight of the truck chassis. The major area of concern in the truck chassis was

structural resonance at 52 Hz, experienced during the torsional and bending modes. Modifications to shift natural

frequencies were proposed by increasing the thickness of the chassis center section by 2 mm and additional stiffener

members located at the center of the base plate with a thickness of 10 mm. The overall modifications resulted in the natural

frequency shifted by 13 % higher than the original value, increased the torsion stiffness by 25 % and reduced the total

deflection by 16 %. The overall weight of the new truck chassis was increased by 7%.

Abstract--A Manufacturing world which concentrated on design, product development, production rate and profit now has

to focus on tool life, human welfare and environmental issues due to the fulfillment of statutory requirements and quality

aspects. This paved way for the birth of the several approaches for risk assessment and control of occupational hazards. In

the metal working industry, one of the most important issues is the heat generated in cutting process. High temperature in

metal cutting degrades the tool life, surface integrity, size accuracy and machining efficiency. Main objective can be

achieved by maintaining the important cutting fluid parameters and operating procedures during the machining process.

Detailed studies have revealed that the exposure to cutting fluid has harmful effects on human health due to inhalation and skin contacts. Also sever contamination impacts on the environment in the form of air and land pollutions resulting from

vapor released during machining process and disposal of used oil. This project focused on the quality improvements of

cutting fluid and the standard practices of usage during the machining operation mainly attributed on reduction in cutting

M.A.R Collge Of Engineering

Abstract-- In sheet metal industries, the ability to predict and avoid surface defects, such as wrinkling, is of great

importance. Wrinkling behavior can be affected by various factors. However, little research has focused on generalization of

the role of geometry on the occurrence of wrinkling, the geometrical features of various formed parts are generalized and

correlated with surface behavior (wrinkled or wrinkle-free).It is extremely difficult to develop an analytical model for

wrinkling including all factors. The proposed neural network model is an attempt to deal with such a complicated non linear

system in a predictive way. Here several numerical simulations using FEM (ANSYS) are performed to obtain the teaching

data required for training the neural network by means by back-propagation algorithm. Here the input parameters to the network given such as cup height, sheet thickness, punch velocity and coefficient of friction. For each case the wrinkling

factor is predicted by the learned neural network and numerically tested. Using simulation data to train and test it, the model

was applied to new data for prediction of the occurrence of wrinkling. The network can correctly forecast a large portion of

the occurrence of wrinkling based on the given information on the geometrical features of points.

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION OF MOBILE ROBOT PATH PLANNING

USING GENETIC ALGORITHM(IE011) Balaji A1, Padmanabhan Panchu K 2

Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract --This paper proposes an idea for finding a multi-objective optimal path for a mobile robot in a given known

environment from a user defined initial point to final point. The objectives considered here for optimization are, length of

the path and smoothness of the path. The length of the path is defined as distance covered by the robot while it moves from

one point to another and the optimal length of path is shortest path that reaches the final point after avoiding obstacles.

Smoothness is defined as the number of turns taken by robots to reach the final point. Since the robot changes its pose by

turning, the velocity of robot reduces which results in more consumption and as well as the time to reach the destination.

First objective here ensures the distance travelled by the robot to destination point is to be minimum and the second

objective ensures that the turns are minimum and thus robots need not reduce its velocity while turning. Ultimately, with the

optimization of these two objectives, the robot can reach the location as soon as possible and without reduction of any

velocity. The proposed idea can allow the robot, to find the optimal solution, which has shortest path and smoothest path.

Key words: genetic algorithm, length of the path, robots, smoothness.

Abstract-- The success of livestock farming is largely dependent on the continuous supply of good quality nutritious feeds at

competitive price. Feed alone constitute about 60-70 per cent of total cost of production of livestock products. Therefore, it

needs more attention though other factors are also important for remunerative return from livestock enterprises. RCM is a very useful tool in industries with strong constraints as regards users and safety, but in spite of being a standardize approach

RCM can be adapted to particular constraints and requirements of the industry where it is applied. The concept of

Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) is applied to the Feed Processing Unit. The executing RCM workgroup includes an

owner and operator of the analyzed Feed Plant, a maintenance service provider, a provider of condition-monitoring services

and Feed Plant component supplier as well as researchers at academic. Combining the results of failure statistics and

assessment of expert judgment, the analysis is focused on the most critical subsystems with respect to failure frequencies

and consequences: the Hammer Mill, the Pellet Mill, the electrical system and the hydraulic system. The study

provides the most relevant functional failures, reveals their causes and underlying mechanisms and identifies remedial measures to prevent either the failure itself or critical secondary damage. The study forms the basis for

development of quantitative models for maintenance strategy selection and optimization, but may also provide a feedback of

field experience for further improvement of Feed Plant design.

Abstract --Feed Processing Unit is one of the Major Agro Based Industry. The success of livestock farming is largely dependent on the continuous supply of good quality nutritious feeds at competitive price. Feed alone constitute about 60-70

per cent of total cost of production of livestock products. Therefore, it needs more attention though other factors are also

important for remunerative return from livestock enterprises. The farmers used to feed the crop residues to the cattle and

buffaloes, however, sheep and goat are normally maintained on grazing/browsing with supplementary feeding of broken

grains/other byproducts. Therefore, feeding of balanced concentrate feed to these animals was not common, because of low

productivity and un-remunerative prices for the livestock products. The improved poultry is fed only with concentrated feed.

The requirement of food of animal origin like milk, meat and eggs is increasing at a faster rate due to increased awareness

about the significance of protective proteins for the maintenance of human health. The farmers realized the importance and

started rearing good quality and high productive animals/birds under stall-fed conditions. With the increased demand for

livestock products for domestic consumption as well as export, the farmers realized maintaining of quality animals with

proper feeding and management. The proportion of crossbred animals or improved strains of birds increased over the years. This has necessitated higher demand for balanced concentrate feed. Presently, various milk unions, poultry corporations/

federations and private companies are supplying both cattle and poultry feed of different qualities and forms (mash/ pellets/

crumbles) to the farmers. Large size poultry farm/dairy farm owners, hatcheries and cooperative poultry units are normally

manufacturing their own feed by installing the necessary plant and machinery on the farm. Some of the farmers are still

feeding broken grains, cakes, guar, salt, etc. to dairy animals by mixing at home. This cost analysis investigates the

Abstract— Grey Cast Iron and AlSi alloy are the more commonly used materials for cylinder liner applications in

automobiles. With the upcoming need for an efficient utilization of fuel resources and alternate fuel resources, there is a

subsequent need for the improvement of surface properties as well as to reduce the engine weight. Hard Chromium coatings

exhibit attractive properties such as high hardness and excellent wear resistance and have been widely used in the

automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries. The main limitation is that chromium coatings are not environmentally

friendly coating and thus replacements are sought. In this paper, the potential of WC based coating deposited on AlSi Alloy

and Grey Cast Iron using HVOF (High velocity oxygen fuel) coating have been discussed. The role of surface flattening

behavior of these materials by WC based coating is also discussed. The thickness of the coating was measured using SEM

(Scanning Electron Microscope). A significant improvement in the hardness was noted as a better surface behavior which

MECHANICAL AND BARRIER PROPERTIES OF METALIZED FILM LAMINATE

FOR PACKAGING APPLICATION Naveen M.S. P. Santhanam Anna University

Abstract— The aim of this project work is to find out the best possible flexible laminate film used for various flexible packaging applications by changing the combination of film, adhesives, laminating methods. The plastic films used for the

laminates are polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate(PET) and metalized PET. Various flexible packaging tests like

Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR), Water Vapour Transmission Rate (WVTR), peel test, tensile strength test, seal strength

test etc. should be conducted to ensure the barrier and mechanical properties of the film. Hence it is proposed to conduct

these tests to study the characteristic behaviour of laminate. The conclusion is that the current laminates with the above

combination of films have excellent tensile and barrier performances and it is fit for use in industrial level.

Keywords— Polyethylene, Polyethylene Terephthalate, metalized laminates, tensile test, OTR.

Abstract: In the present work, heat transfer and friction characteristics were experimentally investigated, employing

louvered and circular insert in a plain tube heat exchanger. The louvered insert and circular insert were inserted into the

tube to generate turbulent flow which helped to increase the heat transfer rate of the tube. The flow rate of the tube was in a

range of Reynolds number between 800 to 2400 for laminar flow and 9000 to 23,000 for turbulent flow conditions. In

theexperiment, first thewater was flowed through the plain tube without inserts and the readings are taken down. After that

the inserts are placed inside the tube and the readings was taken. The experimental data obtained were compared with those

from plain tubes of published data. Experimental results confirmed that the use of inserts leads to a higher heat transfer rate

over the plain tube.

Abstract— The present competitive market is focusing industrial efforts on producing high-quality products with the lowest

possible cost. To help accomplish this objective, various quality improvement philosophies have been put forward in recent

years and of these, TAGUCHI (DOE) is most viable and efficient technique for process quality improvement. This project

illustrates the analysis of the various parameters in painting process by experimental design. For the analysis the painting

process in steel structure is examined. In fabrication, the painting process constitutes the greatest portion of affecting

quality, reprocessing process and impact on process cost. For Every industry to have their profit margin intact with their

competitive edge in the market, production should be in such way that rejection and reprocessing should be minimum.

The prime focus is to minimize the excess consumption of paint in steel structures. And also improve the paint coverage,

coating thickness to reduce the rework, touch-up painting process. With repetition and confirmation experiments the parameter are determined and optimum level of these parameters are defined, for improvements of quality.

Keywords— Design of Experiments, Pareto Analysis, ANOVA, Optimization of Paint Consumption, Steel Structures.
