Suspension System with Combined Leaf and Helical Spring: A Review
Abstract: A good suspension system of any automobile vehicle must have minimum deflection, minimum weight, low maintenance and low operating cost with some other fine properties. Springs are major element of any suspension system and first line of its defense. If the suspension springs are rigid enough, they will not absorb road shocks efficiently, and if they are more flexible, then they will keep vibrating for a longer time even after …

Library and Auditorium Electrical Appliances Automation
Abstract: Wireless technologies are used in consumer applications for quite a long while. On the other hand, the operation of radio based communication frameworks in mechanization of applications was viewed as dubious for long time. Basically, the exceptionally fluctuating nature of remote transmission channels, contrasted with wired ones, was responsible for this fact. The use of wireless technology in industrial automation systems offers a number of potential benefits, from the obvious …

Fracture Characterization of Glass-Sheep Wool Fabric Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid Composite using Stacking Sequence
Abstract: AbstractFibre-reinforced composites are advance market share in structural applications, but further growth is restricted by their lack of toughness. Fibre hybridization is a hopeful approach to toughen composite materials. By combining two or more fibre types, these hybrid composites offer a better balance in mechanical properties than non-hybrid composites. The research and advancement in the area of natural fiber composites (NFC) are gaining more importance due to its eco-friendly, biodegradable, …

Weldability of Ferritic Stainless Steel
Abstract: The ferritic stainless steels are generally considered less weldable than austenitic stainless steels. In case of welding of first-generation ferritic stainless steels, rapid grain growth of ferrite takes place in both the fusion zone and heat-affected zone. These coarse grains have very low ductility and toughness. Excessive grain growth can be avoided by using lower welding heat input and or certain types of additives. They are lower in cost and …

Thermal Stability of Compatibilised Natural Rubber/ Chitosan Blends
Abstract: The thermal degradation behavior of Natural Rubber /Chitosan (NR/CS) blends compatibilised with maleic anhydride (MA) was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The TGA shows that the MA modified blends are more stable than the pure blends. MA acts as a reactive compatibiliser in NR/CS blends. MA grafted NR chain is highly reactive towards the functional group on the chitosan moiety, and when pressing at elevated temperature interaction develops between the …
