Economical Design of Stiffened Plate using FEM
Abstract: This paper presents the economical design of stiffened plate subjected to transverse load. The model of stiffened plate is developed using ANSYS APDL 14.0 for the finite element analysis and design. At first, a convergence study is carried out to arrest the optimum mesh size for discretizing the plate. The maximum deflection of plate with and without stiffeners subjected to point and uniformly distributed load for both fixed and simply …

Castellated Beams with and without Stiffeners- A Review
Abstract: Use of castellated beams has it benefits like it is economical, gives more strength with less material, easy to erect. Studies related to castellated beam show that quantifiable reduction in the weight of structure is accomplished by allowing web openings without reducing structural strength or requirements of serviceability. Castellated beams are fabricated by cutting I section in zig zag pattern to create shapes like hexagonal, circular, rectangular and re-joining it …

Continuity Plates in the Connections of I-Beam to Box Column have been Replaced with Novel External Stiffener
Abstract: This paper addresses the implementation difficulties of continuity plates inside of box-column, where the I beam is connected by a novel design. In this design, there is no continuity plate inside the box-column. At the end of the beam, where it should be connected to the column, its flanges are symmetrically cut and connected to the beam with two divergent plates as external stiffeners which can distinguishably be noted a …

Comparative study of various castellated beams with and without stiffeners
Abstract: use of the castellated beams has its own benefits as its reasonable gives additional strength by almost the same amount of material easily erectable. Studies associated with them demonstrate that quantifiable reduction in the weight of the structure is accomplished by allowing web openings without reducing structural strength or necessities of serviceability. They are made-up by cutting I section in the zigzag design to make shapes like circular hexagonal rectangular …

Stiffness Optimization of Control Unit of Vehicle Using Vibration Technique
Abstract: All modern automotive engines are controlled by an ECU. Engine efficiency, combustion, and emission characteristics are all affected by ECU tuning or tune-up. The electrical system in automobiles has evolved over time, and it now incorporates automatic machine control of automotive mechanics. In the beginning, a car’s electrical system consisted solely of primitive wiring technologies for supplying power to other parts of the vehicle. Engine management design specifications for the …

Codal Validation and Optimization of Gantry Girders Under Variable Wheelbase and Impact Loads: A Review of Analytical, Numerical, and Codal Approaches
Abstract: Gantry girders serve as critical structural elements in industrial facilities such as steel plants, workshops, and heavy manufacturing units, where electric overhead traveling (EOT) cranes operate. The design of these girders is governed by stringent codal provisions to ensure safety under bending, shear, and deflection. However, discrepancies between codal predictions, analytical formulations, and finite element analysis (FEA) results, particularly under variable wheelbase and dynamic impact loads, have been widely reported. …

Systolic-Predominant Hypertension and the Aging Heart: A Cross-Sectional Study on LVH and Cardiovascular Riskss
Abstract: Background: Systolic-predominant hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg with diastolic pressure <90 mm Hg, is the most prevalent form of hypertension in the elderly. It arises primarily due to age-related arterial stiffening and baroreceptor dysfunction. Once considered a benign outcome of aging, systolic-predominant hypertension is now recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status and …

Effects of Rotor-Blade Deformation onto Performance of Domestic Wind Turbines
Abstract: Paper is focused on the influence that blade deformations by torsion and bending due to drag, lift, and gravitational effects has on the performance of small wind turbines. A blade model of stiff finite elements connected by rotating junctions is used. Mechanical deformations are simulated by controlled gravity and torsional forces, and their effects are measured through the response of the wind turbine. Tests have been run before and after …

Seismic Control System for Vertically Irregular Buildings
Abstract: Behavior of High rise building mainly depends on their structural planning. In this present study, a G+20 storey RCC building having vertical setback irregularity above tenth storey is considered. Due to such irregular configuration building becomes more vulnerable to seismic vibration. To control these vibration stiffeners are used at suitable positions, by going through trial and error method. The parameters considered for comparison are fundamental time period, storey displacement and …
