Modeling of Rubber Bush Mould by using DME Standard
Abstract: With increasingly short life span of consumer electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, and bags; they are becoming more fashionable and requires continuous improvement. Injection molding remains the most popular method for producing the associated plastic parts in minimum time. In injection process, a molten polymer is injected into a cavity inside a mold with the help of injection machine which is cooled and the part gets ejected. There …

CFD Analysis of 4-Stroke Engine: A Review
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE To analyze 4-stroke engines, the method of computational 3D and 1D simulation is efficient and reliable. However, there is big scope as far as complexity of 3D CFD analyses that will be replaced by easily adoptable 1D-analysis. The issue that needs to focus is the correlation between real time cylinder gas composition and the composition of the exhaust flow, which is to …

Morphological Analysis of Nitride Coated Steel for Industrial Application
Abstract: Hard coatings prepared by several methods and with different parameters represent variety of microstructures in the form of surface morphology, phase composition and grain size. Large quantity of micro or nano material as it has larger atoms as well as surface molecules, increase surface area. With increase in surface area ultimately it improves mechanical and physical properties for structural as well as nonstructural application. Nitride coated hard coating materials have …

Effect of Electrode Extension and Width of the Plate on Distortion and Residual Stresses Using Submerged Arc Welding Process
Abstract: Welding is a reliable and efficient joining process in which the coalescence of metals is achieved by fusion and is used extensively in the fabrications of many structures, buildings, ships, pressure vessels, etc., due to many advantages it has, over the other fabrication processes. Localized heating during welding, followed by rapid cooling, can generate residual stresses and distortion. However, distortion is a problem encountered during welding. The presence of distortion …

Component Fastening by Using Snap-On Tools Replacing Traditional Fasteners
Abstract: The traditional fasteners connect the next part in different assemblies with the help of bolt, nuts and other fasteners. But main problem starts when motion passes through the assemblies; it may make the assemblies weak due to improper fastening or sometimes motion is that much rapid that it makes these fasteners weak from the joints. Because of that, the assembly may get disassembled and may damage other parts and leads …

Fuzzy Modeling to Specify Various Machining Parameters in Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) of INCONEL625 Using Copper Electrode
Abstract: Condition monitoring of the machining process is very important in today’s precision manufacturing, especially in the electrical discharge machining (EDM). This paper shows a fuzzy-based algorithm for prediction of material removal rate (MRR) and tool wear ratio (TWR) in the electrical discharge machining (EDM) processes. In this system peak current (Ip), voltage (V) and duty cycle (D) are the input parameters and output parameters are MRR and TWR. The proposed …

Effect of Blade-Casing Rub Event on Blade, Casing and Turbine Shaft in Gas Turbine Engine
Abstract: Numerical results obtained for an Inconel-718 compressor blade rubbing a stationary casing of gas turbine at engine speed are described in this paper. Higher performances of gas turbine depend on minimum clearance between rotating blade and stationary casing. But tighter clearances result in rub event at blade tips, transferring load on different parts of gas turbine in radial, axial and tangential directions. The axial, radial and circumferential loads are noted …

Effect of Various Dielectric Fluids on Performance of EDM: A Review
Abstract: In electrical discharge machining (EDM), material removal takes place by means of successive electrical discharges occurring between an electrode and a work piece in the presence of dielectric liquid or gas. As dielectric fluid plays very significant role in any electrical discharge machining operation, selection of dielectric medium is an important consideration for EDM performance. It does not only serve to carry away the condensed metal particles from the spark …
