    Characterization of Fracture Toughness of As-Cast Si-Mo- Cr Ductile Cast Iron

    By Nanak Ram, Vijay Gautam

    Abstract: In the present study, a Si-Mo-Cr ductile cast iron is developed by taking three different combinations, viz. Heat-1, Heat-2 and Heat-3 of the selective amount of silicon, molybdenum, copper and chromium. For fracture toughness characterization, the specimens are prepared from the samples in "as-cast" conditions. The value of static fracture toughness obtained from the experiments for the specimen of Heat-2 with a fatigue pre-crack is 54.49 MPa√ , whereas, for …

    Numerical Studies on Deep Drawability of the Aluminium Alloy, AA6082 and Parameters Affecting It

    By Srijan Bansal, Vijay Gautam, Ved Prakash

    Abstract: Deep drawing is a metal forming operation used for manufacturing sheet-metal components for application in the automobile, aerospace, and packaging industries. The objective of the present work was to study the various parameters influencing the drawability of AA6082. The deep-drawing process was modeled and simulated in Ls-Dyna Pre-Post(R) V4.6.17 software. The tensile test was performed according to the ASTM-E8M standard on AA6082-T6 material and subsequently annealed to attain higher ductility. …

    Analysis of Crashworthiness of a Saloon Car Fitted with CNG Cylinder

    By Shivam, Sanskar Sogani, Sarthak Mishra, Tushar Tanvar, Vijay Gautam, Devendra Kumar

    Abstract: There is an increase in demand for compressed natural gas vehicles in India. Due to the high gasoline prices and lack of electric vehicle infrastructure in India, compressed natural gas vehicles are the only feasible option. This research work focuses on the crashworthiness of a saloon car fitted with a compressed natural gas cylinder under rear-collision conditions. Four different candidate materials of the same thickness are chosen for the cylinder …
