Design and Development of Special Purpose Drilling Machine
Abstract: This paper presents the design and manufacture of an automated drilling machine based on microcontroller (Arduino) to produce holes (10mm depth) in the work pieces of stainless steel AISI304. The drilling machining process proposed for a cycle of drilling. The cycle process begins when the start switch is pressed on, the head motor drives the ballscrew on which the drilling motor is mounted, by this arrangement the z axis movement …

Optimization of process parameters of MIG welding on AISI-SAE1060 Standard Carbon Steel by Taguchi technique
Abstract: The quality of weld joint depends on many input process parameters however, this research paper focuses only on the optimization of input process parameters like welding current, electrode diameter and plate thickness; and analyses the effect of these process parameters on the butt- weld joint strength by using Taguchi technique. In our experimental work, welding currents of 150,180,210 Amp; electrode wire diameter of 0.80, 1.2, 1.6 mm and base metal …

Optimization of Helical Spring Weight using Meta-heuristic Algorithms
Abstract: Optimization is the act of obtaining the best results under given circumstances. A mathematical theory of optimization is highly in use and is being applied to design where design function can be expressed mathematically. Many techniques like Linear Programming, Branch & Bound technique, Dynamic Programming methods are available to solve optimization problems. But these conventional Methods suffer from certain drawbacks like sticking at suboptimal solution, inefficiency in handling problems having …

USING DIFFERENT END CONDITIONS EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL ANALYSIS FOR VIBRATIONAL PROPERTIES OF NATURAL FIBER COMPOSITES BEAM
Abstract: The today’s research trend in composite is for the development of composite with natural fibre instead of synthetic fibre. It is because of properties like low cost, light weight, bio-degradability, ease to manufacture and low impact on environment. It becomes necessary to study the vibrational behaviour of composite in addition to mechanical strength and chemical properties for effective utilization in real world applications as they subjected to many types of …

Performance Optimisation of Counter-Directional Orange Peeling Machine
Abstract: The machine was designed to comprise components including frame, cutting tool/post, jaws, clamp, compression and lock, which were assembled together after fabrication. The machine is clampable on the flat surface. The machine can hold an orange centrally with the aid of two jaws located at both ends of the machine. The cutting tool has a curve like profile and helps in ensuring the cutting tool follows the orange counter-directional as …

Response Surface analysis to find optimum pull for a Multi-Purpose Agricultural Tool for Design and Fabrication
Abstract: Design and assembly of a multi-purpose agricultural tool is a major aspect that has to be developed, This is majorly in continuation with the fact that India has shifted its trend from just an agro-based country to homeland of major IT companies, but still one of its major income is through agriculture be it directly or indirectly. So, it’s an obvious concern that India’s agriculture should be modernized. More than …
