Effect of Compressibility on Undrained Bearing Pressure of Circular Footing Resting on Two-Layered Clay
Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the behavior of a circular foundation on layered clay of varying properties. There are several solutions for the bearing capacity of footings on two-layered clays, but none of them considered the compressibility of the strata. An underestimation of the soil bearing capacity is the main cause of failures. The typical difficulty in estimating the capacity of soil is its complicated behavior attributed to the …

Solar Charkha Retrofit
Abstract: Hand operated charkha is used to make thread from cotton. It is sensitive work and involves great deal of care and effort to spin the charkha wheel manually during thread extrusion. Charkha operation causes physical strain and fatigue in long run. Abrupt spinning creates thread knots and breakage thus results poor quality and cotton wastage. Large number of people board on this khadi profession to make their meager earnings and …

Kinetic study of a bipedal humanoid robot and mode of the spherical inverted pendulum
Abstract: Studies on an anthropomorphic biped walking robot have led to the expectation that a bipedal humanoid robot will actively participate in human living environments. The authors created the human-size 35 active DOF bipedal humanoid robot "WABIAN" and the human-size 41 active DOF bipedal humanoid robot "WABIAN-R" as the initial step in creating a bipedal humanoid robot. The authors also put forth a fundamental method of controlling whole-body cooperative dynamic biped …

Design and Development of Electromagnetic Braking System Based on Electromagnetic Induction and Eddy Current
Abstract: In this paper, electromagnetic braking system has been developed that ensures passenger’s, driver’s and other road user’s safety and comfort. Most of the conventional braking system like mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic have certain limitations. In mechanical brake, erosion of the mechanical pads is carried out by frictional force and requires periodic replacement of the bearing. Fluid leakage in hydraulic and pneumatic could lead to brake failure and reduces the effectiveness of …
