Optimization of Process Parameters of Two Way Abrasive Flow Machining by Grey Relational Analysis Coupled with Principle Component Analysis
Abstract: Now a days as the advancement of technology is increasing rapidly, expectation of human, from industry also increased. To fulfil these expectations new technologies are coming into existence. In this regard unconventional machining processes are playing an important role. Abrasive flow machining is a non-traditional finishing process used for finishing parts with predominantly irregular geometry. In AFM, material removal and surface finish takes place by flowing visco elastic abrasive carrier …

Indian Scriptures - Treasures against Time
Abstract: Indians are gifted with an immense treasure in the form of the Scriptures. However, the prevalent mind-set extols the value of Western thought as opposed to the Indian viewpoint. The origin of this mind-set lies in pre-British India, when a concerted effort was made by the British to completely demolish the greatness of Indian thought embodied in the form of its education system. This paper attempts to demonstrate the intellectual …
