    Machining-Induced Surface Integrity Optimization of High-Carbon Alloy Steel for Enhanced Polymer–Metal Composite Interface Performance

    By Ujwal Samadhan Gawai, S. Irudayaraj, Pramod Ram Wadate, Sarang P. Joshi

    Abstract: The functional performance and structural reliability of polymer–metal hybrid composites are strongly influenced by the surface integrity of metallic substrates used for interfacial bonding and load transfer. In this context, machining-induced surface characteristics play a critical role in determining adhesion behavior, dimensional stability, and mechanical compatibility within composite architectures. The present study investigates the hard turning performance of a newly developed high-carbon alloy steel intended for composite-integrated structural applications, with …

    Design and Analysis of Honeycomb Rear Door Map Pocket by Application of Finite Element Method

    By Pramod Ram Wadate, Deepak Dhondge, Rahul Bachute, Pritee Purohit

    Abstract: In modern automobiles, the door trim plays a vital role in both functionality and occupant safety. It integrates various convenience features such as armrests, power window switches, and map pockets, while also contributing to crash energy absorption during side impacts. In such collisions, the occupant's body typically contacts the door trim, making its design and material selection critical for minimizing injury through controlled deformation and energy dissipation. This research focuses …
