Model Based Controller Design for Position Control of Servo Controlled Hydraulic Actuator against Air Entrainment
Abstract: Position control is important for numerous industrial and aircraft applications. Electro-hydraulic actuators are used for position control for advantages they provide over other actuation systems. The hydraulic fluid used for actuation, though desired to be incompressible, has some compressibility in practice. Entrainment of air in the fluid increases compressibility effect by reducing the effective bulk modulus. Reduced bulk modulus makes position control difficult. The paper studies the effect of effective …

Optimization of Machining Parameters for End Milling of 1018 Mild Steel using Taguchi based Grey Relational Analysis
Abstract: The present work investigate the parametric optimization of end milling operation for 1018 mild steel with multiresponse criteria based on Taguchi approach with the Grey relational Analysis. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array which takes nine experimental runs was used to execute the design matrix of machining parameters. Cutting speed (CS), Feed (FD), Cutter RPM and Depth of cut (DOC) are optimized with the consideration of multiple performance characteristics namely Machining time …

Self-Regulated Automatic Ventilation of Vehicle Interior
Abstract: In order to mitigate overheated interior of a vehicle parked in the hot summer sun and thereby to make the entering into the vehicle more comfortable, microcontroller managed module for automatic ventilation of vehicle interior is made. The module is implemented using a microcontroller as a central logical unit and a series of sensors which provide sufficient data to ensure functional, but also efficient, reliable and safe ventilation. The ventilation …
