Abstract-- The work presented in this paper deals with application of explicit finite element analysis in order to predict
the bird-strike induced impact damage on fuselage part of typical transport aircraft. A methodology has been developed
to support the bird-strike certification of the metallic materials made with aluminum alloy2024-T4, 7075-T6. The
numerically explicit LS-DYNA codes were used to simulate the arbitray Lagrangian Euler (ALE) bird model. An
important part of the bird strike modeling procedure is the application of a bird replacement material with constitutive
response which replicates the forces induced by an impact of a real bird. The bird material is modelled by an equation of
state, with properties that match the pressuredensity relations of water and air mixtures. The input parameters for the
simulation have been selected as to simulate a bird strike used to verify the compliance with damage tolerance
certification requirements. The ability of this work is leading to improved design efficiency and safety, while
significantly reducing certification cost.

Abstract-- This work describes about the stress concentration in a rectangular specimen with a circular hole made up of
hybrid composite material with the combination of glass/carbon with epoxy. The arrangements of cross ply lamina in the
sequence of alternative carbon and glass as using carbon fibre and in panel gives more strength to the structure as the
carbon properties are high when compared to glass. Typical aircraft and automobile components are with cut-outs and
such cut-outs reduce the weight of the aircraft according to the weight reduction law and also it reduced the bulking load
carrying capacity. Experimental investigations were carried out using three specimens as per ASTM D5766 in the
Universal Testing Machine. Stress concentration in the rectangular specimen with a hole is also analyzed using FEA and
comparing the results.
Key points-- composite, finite element analysis, stress concentration, tensile strength.

Abstract-- Modelling a beam of either an isotrpic material like steel or a composite material like reinforced concrete (RC)
having surface bonded fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates for realistic prediction of structural behaviour is a
challenging task. Most of the dedicated softwares for analysis and design of civil engineering structures lack the facility
of modelling beams with additional layers of different material like FRP sheets. Therefore for modeling and analysis of
such beams with surface- bonded FRP layers, it is necessary to choose an appropriate Finite Element (FE) software
which is capable of modelling beams bonded with additional FRP layers. However, the first step towards such an effort
is to properly model the virgin beam without FRP layers. In this context, choosing the appropriate element(s) is also an
important task. Therefore In this paper, an effort is made to assess the performance of the relevant elements of a
commercially available FE software for the above purpose. Numerical examples are solved for beams under various
loading and boundary conditions; results are compared with available results, wherever possible, to assess the suitability
of such elements and their range of applicability.
Keywords-- Appropriate modelling, FE software (Abaqus), RCC beam, use of best suited finite element, different
boundary and loading conditions.

Abstract--The Bayer Process for the production of alumina from Bauxite ore is characterized by low energy efficiency
and it results in the production of significant amounts of dust-like, high alkalinity bauxite residues known as red mud.
Currently red mud is produced almost at equal mass ratio to metallurgical alumina and is disposed into sealed or unsealed
artificial impoundments (landfills), leading to important environmental issues. It comprises of oxides of iron, titanium,
aluminum and silica along with some other minor constituents. Presence of Alumina and Iron oxide in red mud
compensates the deficiency of the same components in limestone which is the primary raw material for cement
production. Presence of soda in the red mud which when used in clinker production neutralizes the sulfur content in the
pet coke that is used for burning clinker enrooted cement production and adds to the cements setting characteristics.
Based on economics as well as environmental related issues, enormous efforts have been directed worldwide towards red
mud management issues i.e. of utilization, storage and disposal. Different avenues of red mud utilization are more or less
known but none of them have so far proved to be economically viable or commercially feasible. Experiments have been
conducted under laboratory condition to assess the strength characteristics of the aluminum red mud. The project work
focuses on the suitability of red mud obtained for construction. Five test groups were constituted with the replacement
percentages 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% of red mud and 5% of hydrated lime with cement in each series. To achieve
Pozzolanic property of red mud, hydrated lime was added. This paper points out another promising direction for the
proper utilization of red mud.
Keywords-- Cement mortars, Red mud, hydrated lime, monotonic load and Deflection.

Abstract-- Concrete is widely used composite construction material consist of cement, fine aggregate and coarse
aggregate. One of the constituent materials of concrete especially, the fine aggregate plays an important role for
imparting better performance ofconcrete in its fresh and hardened state.The shortage of the resources of natural
sand(NS), have the possibility for the use of M-Sand (MS).Proper curing of concrete structures is important to ensure
their intended performance and durability requirements. Curing plays a major role in developing the concrete
microstructure and pore structure. The self curing concrete means that no external curing required for concrete. The
scope of this study is to investigate the effect of replacement of NS by MS for different curing methods. In self and
membrane curing methods the Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and wax based membrane curing compounds were used.
Using M20 grade of concrete cubes, cylinder and prism were casted for NS and MS. The specimens were allowed for air
curing, standard moist curing, membrane curing and with Super-Absorbent Polymer (SAP) at different proportions of
0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% by weight of cement and the various mechanical properties were studied.
KeyWords-- Natural sand, M-Sand, Membrane Curing, Self curing, Super absorbent polymer.

Abstract-- The dynamic aspect is the one of the governing factors in the structural design of bridges. Correct
understanding of Bridge dynamics is essential, since a realistic prediction of structural response contributes to an
economic design of new bridges and to a rational exploitation of bridges in service. Dynamic effects are often considered
by introducing dynamic amplification factor (DAF) specified in design codes. The purpose of introducing these factors is
making the dynamic results easily understood in bridge response.
In recent years it has been found that in railway bridges due to introduction of high speed locos and heavy load wagons,
bridges are subjected to large dynamic effects than experienced before. DAF is an important factor in the design of
bridges considering dynamic effects, disagreement occurs as the DAF provided in the codes are inherently conservative.
The codal provisions are old enough and are provided based on the peak load events obtained in olden days and does not
match with the modern engines and heavy loads. Since DAF depends only on few parameters like span, axle loads,
speed, and ignore many of the truck dynamic characteristics etc., it has to be kept in mind that improper provision of
DAF may lead to failure in many ways, this can be avoided by ensuring the extreme load events by providing proper
DAF. Hence there is need of attaining proper DAF according to the varying load and speeds, in order to avoid critical
failures as well as rehabilitation is difficult in case of bridges.
This paper presents the evaluation of DAF for a simply supported I-girder bridge. The bridge was modeled using general
purpose finite element software, ABAQUS. Equivalent CC+8+2 vehicle load pattern was considered for analyzing it at
different speeds obtaining peak dynamic response at various points of the span.
The peak static response was also determined by applying the same load patterns at various points. From the results
obtained, the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) was evaluated.
Keywords-- Dynamic Amplification Factor,Bridge,Response.

V.S.B Engineering College Karur, Tamilnadu.

Abstract-- Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are multihop wireless networks with mobile nodes that can move
freely. One fundamental primitive in a MANET is searching a path from a source node to a destination. In MANETs, the
network topology changes frequently and unpredictably due to the arbitrary mobility of nodes. This feature leads to
frequent path failures and route reconstructions, which causes an increase in the routing control overhead. The main
objective of the work is to reduce the overhead of route discovery in the design of routing protocols of MANETs.
Neighbour knowledge based routing protocol is used to reduce the overhead in route discovery by selectively
broadcasting RREQ packets to the uncovered neighbour set instead of all neighbours. Thereby the congestion in the
network is reduced considerably which leads to increased lifetime of the network.
Keywords-- Mobile adhoc networks, neighbor coverage, network connectivity, probabilistic rebroadcast, routing
overhead.

Abstract-- Cloud computing is rapidly increasing in popularity. Companies such as Red Hat, Microsoft, Amazon,
Google, and IBM are increasingly funding cloud computing infrastructure and research, making it important for students
to gain the necessary skills to work with cloud-based resources. Online relationships in social networks are often based
on real world relationships and can therefore be used to infer a level of trust between users. We propose leveraging these
relationships to form a dynamic Social cloud thereby enabling users to share heterogeneous resources within the
context of a social network. In this paper, we argue an alternative approach to establish trust and accountability in cloud
platform: a social cloud [4]; and advocate a dynamic preference based approach to facilitate resource sharing. Using our
approach, users can download and install a middleware (an extension to Seattle), leverage their personal social network
via a Facebook application, and provide resources to, or consume resources from, their friends through a Social Clearing
House. In a Socio-economic model, resource owners offer virtualized containers on their personal computer(s) or smart
device(s) to their social network. However, as users may have complex preference structures concerning with whom they
do or do not wish to share their resources, we investigate, via simulation, how resources can be effectively allocated
within a social community offering resources on a best effort basis. This paper defines Social Cloud Computing,
outlining various aspects of Socio-economic model, and demonstrates the approach using a social storage cloud
implementation in Facebook.

Abstract-- In Cloud Storage, users can remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high quality applications and
services. The integrity of cloud data is subject to skepticism due to the existence of hardware/software failures and
human errors. Several mechanisms have been designed to allow both data owners and public verifiers to efficiently audit
cloud data integrity without retrieving the entire data from the cloud server. However, public auditing on the integrity of
shared data with these existing mechanisms will supports public auditing on shared data stored in the cloud that exploit
ring signature to compute verification metadata needed to audit the correctness of shared data.so that a third party auditor
(TPA) is able to verify the integrity of shared data for users without retrieving the entire data. Meanwhile, the identity of
the signer on each block in shared data is kept private from the TPA also able to perform multiple auditing tasks
simultaneously instead of verifying them one by one. In this paper, we proved the data freshness (proved the cloud
possesses the latest version of shared data) while still preserving identity privacy. Our experimental result ensures that
retrieved data always reflects the most recent updates and prevents rollback attacks.
Index terms-- AFS (Authenticated File System); data freshness; public auditing; shared data.

Abstract-- Users can remotely store their data in the cloud storage and can use the applications and services from a
collective pool of configurable computing resources, without the trouble of local data storage and protection.
Additionally, users should be able to just use the cloud storage as if it is local, without worrying about the need to
authenticate its integrity. Hence, enabling public auditability for cloud storage is of critical importance so that users can
resort to a Third Party Auditor (TPA) to prove the reliability of outsourced data and be burden free. To strongly initiate a
valuable TPA, the auditing process should bring in no new vulnerabilities toward user data confidentiality, and bring in
no other online trouble to user. In this paper, we propose a protected cloud storage system supporting privacy-preserving
public auditing for active data. To allow the TPA to carry out audits for multiple users simultaneously and also prove the
accuracy of remotely stored data efficiently. The audit outcome would also be useful for the cloud service providers to
progress the cloud service platform. Extensive protection and performance analysis show the proposed schemes are
provably protected and highly efficient. The test accomplished on Amazon EC2 instance further demonstrates the fast
performance of the design.
Index Terms-- Data Storage, privacy-preserving, public auditability, cloud computing, batch verification.

Abstract-- Multimedia is the media which can generate web information using various content forms.Community
question answering (cQA) services have gained popularity over the past years. It not only allows community members to
post and answer questions but also enables general users to seek information from a comprehensive set of well answered
questions. However the major drawback is that it can able to retrieve only textual answers, which is not enough for many
questions. Hence to overcome this problem,we uses Multimedia Question Answering (MMQA) approach in which users
can able to obtain answers in the form of relevant text, image and video format. The results obtained in this approach are
more informative to user than the existing approaches.

Abstract-- Building high Quality cloud applications becomes an immediately required research problem in cloud
computing technology. Non-functional performance of cloud services is generally described by Quality-of-Service
(QoS). To acquire QoS values, real-world usage of services candidates are generally required. At this time, there is no
framework that can allow users to estimate cloud services and rank them based on their QoS values. This paper intends to
framework and a mechanism that measures the quality and ranks cloud services for the users. Cloud Rank framework by
taking the advantage of past service usage experiences of other users. So it can avoid the time consuming and expensive
real life service invocation. This methodology determines the QoS ranking directly using the two personalized QoS
ranking prediction approach namely, CloudRank1 and CloudRank2. These algorithms make sure that the active services
are correctly ranked. The core determination is ranking prediction of client side QoS properties, which likely have
different values for dissimilar users of the same cloud service. It estimates all the applicant services at the user-side and
rank the services based on the observed QoS values.

Abstract--In this digital era, the tremendous change in the field of wireless communication system raises the demand of
the communication spectrum. This case influences the designing of cognitive radio network which allows dynamic
spectrum allocation between licensed and an unlicensed users such that if there is any unused space in the licensed user
band then that space can be utilized by an unlicensed user without any interference to licensed user. Since this network
allows unlicensed users, attacker can easily enter into the network and make jamming attack during transmission. In
order to avoid jamming attack this project work proposes a system to detect an onset of jamming attack using cumulative
sum approach and prevents this attack by allowing the user to move from one slot to another proactively.
IndexTerms-- Cognitive radio network, change point detection, radio network, jamming attack.

Abstract-- Peer-to-Peer networks are decentralized network and each nodes act as client as well as server in sharing the
data. Hence, this network can easily do the malicious activities. In order to solve this activity a trust model is
designed with the peer to peer network. This trust model is built by past transaction history collected among the nodes
participated in peer to peer network. The level of trustworthiness of the nodes is calculated by the interaction and
recommendations are computed from the collected transaction history. The trust credential is ranked by the level of
trustworthiness of the node. That node has high ranked credential that is treated as highly trusted node. In existing
research works, a node wants a service from other nodes by calculating the services parameters such as service metric
level and service history size are equal to computed in a random fashion this degrades the quality of services and time
complexity in terms of trustworthiness. In order to avoid this, it is proposed a trust model to improve the quality of
services and time complexity in terms of trustworthiness with computing the trustworthiness with the service metrics by
calculating the loads of each node. Then the service requested node gets the service from the minimum load of Service
Provider node, this gives an effectively service process to get the data.
IndexTerms-- Peer to peer network, trustworthiness, Reputation, security, minimum load.

Abstract-- Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), also called as intermittently connected mobile networks, are wireless
networks in which a fully connected path from source to destination is unlikely to exist. However, effective forwarding
based on a limited knowledge of contact behavior of nodes is challenging. When large files need to be transferred from
source to destination make all the packets available at the source and transfer the file as small packets. We study the
packets arrival at source and analysis their performance. We consider the linear blocks and rateless linear coding to
generate redundancy and also for energy constraint .We scheduling the large file into small packets and delivering
through multipath to destination, for this we use optimal user centric allocation and scheduling the packets in the receiver
side.

Abstract--Variable selection is a process of identifying relevant variables and removing irrelevant and redundant
variables. The variable selection improves the performance of the supervised learners in terms of reducing the time taken
to build the model and increasing the accuracy of the supervised learners. The two main tasks involved in the algorithms
are eliminating the irrelevant variables and removing the redundancy. Irrelevant variables can be eliminated by applying
different statistical measures and redundant variables can be reduced by clustering technique. In this project work, this is
proposed a variable selection to increase the accuracy and decrease the time taken to build a model for supervised
learning algorithms.

Abstract-- In cloud computing, data generated in electronic form are large in amount. To maintain this data efficiently,
there is a necessity of data recovery services. To cater this, in this paper we propose a smart remote data backup
algorithm, Seed Block Algorithm (SBA). The objective of proposed algorithm is twofold; first it help the users to collect
information from any remote location in the absence of network connectivity and second to recover the files in case of
the file deletion or if the cloud gets destroyed due to any reason. The time related issues are also being solved by
proposed SBA such that it will take minimum time for the recovery process. Proposed SBA also focuses on the security
concept for the back-up files stored at remote server, without using any of the existing encryption techniques.

Abstract-- Multimedia is the media which can generate web information using various content forms.Community
question answering (cQA) services have gained popularity over the past years. It not only allows community members to
post and answer questions but also enables general users to seek information from a comprehensive set of well answered
questions. However the major drawback is that it can able to retrieve only textual answers, which is not enough for many
questions. Hence to overcome this problem,we uses Multimedia Question Answering (MMQA) approach in which users
can able to obtain answers in the form of relevant text, image and video format. The results obtained in this approach are
more informative to user than the existing approaches.

Abstract-- The current image retrieval systems are successful in retrieving images, using keyword based approaches.
However, they are incapable to retrieve the images which are context sensitive and annotated inappropriately. Content-
Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) aims at developing techniques that support effective searching and browsing of large
image repositories, based on automatically derived image features. The current CBIR systems suffer from the semantic
gap. Though a user feedback is suggested as a remedy to this problem, it often leads to distraction in the search. To
overcome these disadvantages, novel interactive keyword based image retrieval and integrating text with image content
are proposed to enhance the retrieval accuracy. Also GOOGLE search engine is used as a back end to search and
retrieved images with their link. The robustness of the result obtained by the proposed method is shown by various
performance analyses like different web browsers, different internet service providers and etc.

Abstract-- This paper is concern with accelerating the vector quantization algorithm to design and training the codebook
for Automatic speech recognition (ASR) system. Two algorithms are proposed in this codebook design namely
Accelerating Algorithm and Q-MSB Sorting Algorithm.
The first algorithm uses the idea of generalized Lloyd algorithm (GLA) that is placing a vector in a training sequence at
Least Distance Partition (LDP) as in permeable iteration or in a partition within a very small subset. This algorithm
reduces the computational time, local optimal problem by minimizing the number of partitions while searching for LDP
training vector and it create the size of the subset is much smaller than the total number of code vector, by which the
search process is accelerate automatically. It uses the fact that a vector in a training sequence is placed in the same LDP
as in the previous iteration or placed in a partition within the Nearest Neighborhood Partition Set (NNPS) of the pervious
LDP. The size of the NNPS is much smaller than the total number of partitions; the full search process is significantly
accelerated. The NNPSs created using the proposed method confirms that the NNPS together with the LDP of the
previous iteration contains the best matching partition found by the full search process
The second algorithm called Q-MSB sorting was proposed to sort the N-1 neighbors of each partition according to their
distances. A Trio-matrix distance calculation was employed to reduce the number of calculations of distances between a
partition and its neighbors. The experimental results shows that proposed Algorithm improves the computation time of
codebook training by factors from 7.8 to 60.9 for the data set.

Abstract-- Motivated by the needs of semantic search and retrieval of multimedia contents, operating directly on the
video based annotations can be thought as a reasonable way for meeting these needs as video is a common standard
providing a wide multimedia content description schema. Raw data and low-level features alone are not satisfactory to
fulfil the users requirements; that means, a deeper understanding of the content at the semantic level is necessary. A
semantic content extraction system that allows the user to query and regain objects, events, and concepts that are
extracted automatically is proposed. In automatic extraction process, starts with object and define class for each process
in video data. A new ontology based fuzzy video data semantic model uses spatial/temporal relation in event and concept
definition is declared. Objects extracted from consecutive representative frames are processed to extract temporal
relations. In addition to that, additional rule to lower spatial relation computation cost and to be able to define some
difficult situations more successfully is used. Event extraction process uses items, spatial dealings among objects and
time-based dealings among events. Likewise, objects and events are used in idea mining practice.

Abstract-- An extensive helplessness of wireless networks, in exacting, the Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET), is their
vulnerability to node compromise and physical capture attacks. Detecting replication attacks is a nontrivial problem in
MANETs due to the challenges resulted from node mobility, cloned and compromised node collusion, and the outsized
number and extensive of the replicas. It has two replication detection schemes Time Domain Detection (TDD) and Space
Domain Detection (SDD), the theoretical analysis indicates that TDD and SDD provide high detection accuracy and
excellent resilience against smart and colluding replicas. It has no restriction on the number and distribution of replicas,
and incurs low communication and computation overhead. According to theoretical analysis, for validating the path to
occur any interference before transmitting the data from source to destination the RIP Protocol, TDD and SDD are the
only approaches that support mobile networks that places no restrictions on the number and distribution of the cloned
frauds and on whether the replicas collude or not.

Abstract--Database systems for uncertain and probabilistic data promise to have many applications. Query processing on
uncertain data occurs in the contexts of data warehousing, data integration, and of processing data extracted from the
Web. Data cleaning can be fruitfully approached as a problem of reducing uncertainty in data and requires the
management and processing of large amounts of uncertain data. Decision support and diagnosis systems employ
hypothetical queries. Scientific databases, which store outcomes of scientific experiments, frequently contain uncertain
data such as incomplete observations or imprecise measurements. Sensor and RFID data is inherently uncertain.
Applications in the contexts of fighting crime or terrorism, tracking moving objects, surveillance, and plagiarism
detection essentially rely on techniques for processing and managing large uncertain datasets. Beyond that, many further
potential applications of probabilistic databases exist and will manifest themselves once such systems become available.
Frequent items in a large data set are commonly referred to as heavy hitters. More precisely, the heavy hitters in a data
set are those items whose relative frequency exceeds a specified threshold. We can easily adapt our algorithms to answer
top-k queries, returning the k items with the largest confidence of being heavy hitters.
Keywords-- Uncertain data,knowledge representationExpected rank,topk values.

Abstract- In this paper, Reversible Data Hiding (RDH) scheme using Difference Pair Mapping (DPM) technique is
proposed in the two dimensional (2-D) difference histogram modifications. A sequence of dissimilar values is computed
taking into account each pixel pair and its background. Using the frequency of the resulting dissimilar pairs, a
two dimensional dissimilarity histogram is generated. Specifically designed DPM is finally used to embed reversible
data. This DPM is a one-to-one mapping defined on dissimilarity pairs. This specifically designed DPM is just the
extension of embedding and shifting techniques used in the present histogram based RDH methods. It is intended to
exploit the image redundancy and there by achieving an improved embedding performance. A pixel pair selection
strategy is employed to identify and to make use the pixel pairs located in the smooth image regions to embed data. By
the proposed method, unlike in the pixel pair mapping technique where pairs of pixels were selected to embed data in an
image, a local image region is identified employing pixel pair differences method. This proposed system is expected to
have more data bits embedded in an image than the existing methods to achieve better image quality as well as to
improve PSNR value.

Abstract-- Detecting moving objects in video sequences is very important in visual surveillance. This describes a method
for accurately tracking persons in indoor and outdoor surveillance video stream obtained from a static camera with
difficult scene properties including illumination changes and solves the major occlusion problem. Detecting and tracking
multiple moving objects in a complex environment with indoor and outdoor surveillance video stream obtained from
static camera. The background subtraction method is to use the difference method of the current image and background
image to detect moving objects, simple algorithm, but very sensitive to the changes in the external environment. Tracking
is usually performed in the context of higher-level applications that require the location or shape of the object in every
frame. Also, it can contain regions that correspond to two or more objects, which is called merged detection. These both
events split and merged detections make the trajectory estimation and object counting a challenging task. For intelligent
surveillance related applications, multiple objects and occlusion are major difficulties. The proposed work is to detect the
motion and hence to track the movement of multiple objects in a scene for efficient and intelligent surveillance.

Abstract-- Fingerprint-based methods are widely adopted for indoor localization purpose because of their cost-
effectiveness compared to other infrastructure-based positioning systems. However, the popular location fingerprint,
Received Signal Strength (RSS), is observed to differ significantly across different devices hardware even under the
same wireless conditions. We derive analytically a robust location fingerprint definition, the Signal Strength Difference
(SSD), and verify its performance experimentally using a number of different mobile devices with heterogeneous
hardware. Our experiments have also considered both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, as well as both Access-Point (AP)-
based localization and Mobile-Node (MN)-assisted localization. Here the results of two well-known localization
algorithms (K Nearest Neighbor and Bayesian Inference) when our proposed fingerprint is used and demonstrate its
robustness when the testing device differs from the training device. Also compare these SSD-based localization
algorithms performance against that of two other approaches in the literature that are designed to mitigate the effects of
mobile node hardware variations, and show that SSD-based algorithms have better accuracy.

ABSTRACT--Network security starts with authenticating, commonly with a username and a password. Since this requires
just one detail authenticating the user name and sometimes termed one-factor authentication. With two- factor
authentication, something the user 'has' is also used, with three-factor authentication, something the user 'is' is also used.
Biometric systems are mostly used for authentication, which is a one to one authorization. It can also be used to verify a
person's identity. Most of the existing techniques make use of the key for the fingerprint privacy protection, which
creates the inconvenience. Here, the user identity may be compromised when both the key and the protected fingerprints
are stolen. It requires two separate databases and decryption. Those systems are easily vulnerable to the attacker and
authorized person data can be hacked easily. In the traditional approach, functions are based only on the key. In the
proposed system, the privacy is provided by combining two different fingerprints into a new identity. The minutiae
positions are taken from one fingerprint and the minutiae orientation on other fingerprint. A complete minutiae feature of
a single fingerprint will not be compromised when the database is stolen. The minutiae templates are difficult to
distinguish hence, the Security and Privacy will also be high and the data hacking is not possible.

compare our approach with the one proposed in the Depth Estimation Reference Software (DERS) for normalization
purposes in the ISO-MPEG 3DV group. Ex- periments conducted on sequences provided to the normalization
community show that the presented method provides high quality depth maps in terms of depth fidelity and virtual views

Abstract--3D face recognition has the potential to achieve better accuracy than its 2D counterpart by measuring geometry
of rigid features on the face. This avoids such pitfalls of 2D face recognition algorithms as change in lighting, different
facial expressions, make-up and head orientation. Another approach is to use the 3D model to improve accuracy of
traditional image based recognition by transforming the head into a known view. Then consider 3D image for face

Abstract--Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) refers to a network designed for special applications for which it is difficult
to use a backbone network. In MANETs, applications are mostly involved with sensitive and secret information. Since
MANET assumes a trusted environment for routing, security is a major issue. In this paper we analyze the vulnerabilities
of a pro-active routing pro-tocol called optimized link state routing (OLSR) against a specific type of denial-of-service
(DOS) attack called node isolation attack. Analyzing the attack, we propose a mechanism called enhanced OLSR
(EOLSR) protocol which is a trust based technique to se-cure the OLSR nodes against the attack. Our technique is capa-
ble of finding whether a node is advertising correct topology information or not by verifying its Hello packets, thus
detecting node isolation attacks. The experiment results show that our protocol is able to achieve routing security with
45% increase in packet delivery ratio and 44% reduction in packet loss rate when compared to standard OLSR under
node isolation attack. Our technique is light weight because it doesnt involve high computational complexity for
securing the network.

Indra Ganesan College Of Engineering.

Abstract-- In this paper a novel feature extraction method and Iris Texture analysis is proposed for extracting diverse sets
of local crucial information in an iris to compensate the problem of high dimensional features and accurate recognition
problem caused by the feature extraction error. Firstly, an efficient computational framework with 2-D convolution
kernel is designed to characterize the iris image, and to produce discriminating low-level features. The proposed kernels
decompose the normalized iris image into multiple kernel candidates and project the iris patterns into different kinds of
features namely texture and edges. Secondly, the compact convolution kernel is designed to overcome the problem of
insignificant kernel based on separability measure of the kernel images. Two new feature spaces are generated to extract
the texture and edge descriptor and the discriminate features extracted from every feature images are concatenated as
compact feature vector. Compared with the traditional single iris feature space representation, the proposed multi iris
feature space generates better classification by considering intra class compactness and interclass separability.
Experimental results prove that the proposed approach provides good discrimination between the features and the
dimensionality of the proposed iris feature vector is also less when compared with existing techniques. Matching is
performed separately between the same kind of feature vectors and the final decision is made by combining the matching
scores based on the accuracy of each feature set.
Keywords-- Iris Recognition, Feature Extraction, Laws Convolution Mask.

Abstract-- In this paper, we present a novel privacy-preserving security solution for cloud services. We deal with user
anonymous access to cloud services and shared storage servers. Our solution provides registered users with anonymous
access to cloud services. Our solution offers anonymous authentication. This means that users personal attributes (age,
valid registration, successful payment) can be proven without revealing users identity. Thus, users can use services
without any threat of profiling their behavior. On the other hand, if users break providers rules,
their access rights are revoked. We analyze current privacy preserving solutions for cloud services and outline our
solution based on advanced cryptographic components. Our solution offers anonymous access, unlink ability and the
confidentiality of transmitted data. Moreover, we implement our solution and we output the experimental results and
compare the performance with related solutions.

Abstract--In INDIA, too many people die due to lack of diagnosis at the required time, non- availability of medicines at
the right time and non-affordable rates of those medicines. When there is urgent need of drugs, especially at night times,
the drug stores might not be open or drugs might be out of stock. This increases the vulnerability of the situation. So, to
overcome this, medicines must be made available 24x7, at affordable rates. Improvements in technology of embedded
systems make this possible. In this paper, a machine which provides both OTC and Schedule H & X drugs, 24x7 is
proposed. It makes us possible to access first aid requirements in public places. Security check is also provided in case of
access to Schedule X & H drugs. These machines, further helps in avoidance of drop-outs from vigilance squads, rush in
medical stores in hospitals and ensure continuity of off-the-bed treatment. This can be implemented in real time and
installed in places like railway stations, NH roads, malls and most essentially in areas where access to drug stores are
limited. This reduces the death rate due to non-availability of medicines at the right time.

Abstract-- Due to the trade-off between power, area and performance, various efforts have been done. This work is also
based to reduce the power dissipation of the vlsi circuits with the performance upto the acceptable level. The dominant
term in a well designed vlsi circuit is the switching power and low-power design thus becomes the task of minimizing
this switching power. So, to design a low-power vlsi circuit, it is preferable to use Non-clocked logic styles as they have
less switching power. In this work various Non-clocked logic styles are compared by performing transistor level

Abstract-- High-performance digital systems use clocks to sequence operations and synchronize between functional units
and between ICs.The circuit performance are degraded by some factors such as variability, leakage and improper
matching in the device.To accommodate the above issues an all digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL), digital-controlled

frequency range is being chosen according to the input clock pulse.Phase locked-loops (PLLs) are widely used to
generate well-timed on-chip clocks in high-performance digital systems.when this particular PLL is made in the CMOS
technology,it will lead to some leakage and variability. A divider can be used in the feedback path to synthesize a
frequency different than that of the reference signal.This paper proposes the PLL design as a frequency synthesizer using

Abstract-- This paper describes a reconfigurable Implementation for variable low pass, high pass, band pass and band
stop responses of a FIR filters. The warped filters is a type of variable digital filter,which can be obtained by replacing
each unit delay of a digital filter with an all-pass filter, are widely used for various audio processing applications.
However, warped filters require first-order all-pass transformation to obtain variable low-pass or high-pass responses,
and second-order all-pass transformation to obtain variable band pass or band stop responses. Here we combine warped
filters with the coefficient decimation technique so that transformation of warped filter is reduced .This warped filter
coefficient will be used to tuning cut-off frequency and decimation coefficient is used to changing tap responses. It
provides a variable responses on the fly without the need of updating the filter coefficients. A booth multiplier and DA
based approach is proposed for multiplication .In this way computational speed and area efficiency will be attained. The
proposed architecture is verified through functional verification with the filter coefficients or filter structure.

Abstract-- Handover is a process that ensures seamless connection when users are moving across the radio cells. In LTE
network cell edge users suffer from unnecessary handover which in turn reduces the network performance. LTE is the
new standard specified by the Third Generation Partnership Program (3GPP) on the way towards 4G mobile
communication which consists of heterogeneous networks. Handover procedure fails for cell edge users in macro cell
based LTE network due to coverage and bandwidth limitations. Femto cells are employed at the cell edge to cover the
blank spot which is not covered by macrocell base station. Unnecessary triggering of handover process increases frequent
handover or late handover which results in handover failure. The main objective of this paper is to decrease the handover
failure rate at the cell edge and to increase the network performance in Femto cell based LTE network. Thus accurate
handover operating point has to be calculated to trigger the handover process based on the user movement. This is
achieved by optimizing the handover parameters based on handover parameter indicators values. Simulations are done to
indicate the reduction in handover failure rate in LTE network.

Abstract-- In this paper, an instrument for estimation of R, L, and C passive components parameters under nonsinusoidal
condition using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) designed. In Electric and Electronic industries for device
manufacturing, the designers regularly work with nonsinusoidal waveforms. In which all the R, L, and C passive
components used in these circuits are using stimuli of nonsinusoidal signal. The performance of resistors, inductors and
capacitors are very different from those estimated under the sinusoidal signal atmosphere due to their intrinsic
nonlinearity. Therefore, a problem of reliable estimation of these components in the presence of nonsinusoidal
environments takes place. This trouble is more critical in applications such as the construction of hybrid filters and digital
protection circuits in power systems, in which the electrical and electronic circuits design and control depend on the
perfect selection of the R, L and C components. So, the measurement instrument using Field Gate Programmable Array
is able to provide perfect selection of R, Land C components and continuously renew the estimated values of the
considered components using sequential implementation of output error algorithm. The main features are the ability to
continuously update measurement result, the use of reduced memory resources, and a limited computational steps.

Alice A OXFORD ENGINEERING COLLEGE
Abstract-- Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has rapidly gained in popularity over the past decade due
to its powerful performance-enhancing capabilities. MIMO channels provide a number of advantages over conventional
SISO channels such as the array gain, the diversity gain, and the multiplexing gain. The multiplexing gain is a unique
characteristic of MIMO channels. In most Multiple-input Multiple-output (MIMO) systems, exhibit a single diversity
value for all fixed rates. In MIMO systems under a Zero-padding (ZP) transmission, Zero-forcing (ZF) does not achieve
full diversity. The minimum mean-square error (MMSE) receiver attains the optimal diversity of a Maximum Likelihood
(ML) receiver but only at small spectral efficiencies. To improve the performances, consider Lattice reduction (LR)
technique. The Lattice-reduction-aided zero forcing equalizer as well as MMSE equalizer achieves the maximum spatial
and temporal diversity at all spectral efficiencies.

Anand Institute of Higher Technology, Chennai 603 103.

Abstract-- MIMO system offers substantial gain in throughput and link reliability in wireless systems. Precoding in
MIMO plays a vital role in mitigating fading and co-channel interference effects in time-variant channels. Despite of
these advantages, the wireless system is more prone to packet errors and loss due to channel distortions, noise or fading.
This in turn invokes the necessity of retransmission in MIMO. A codebook based precoding approach is used in
retransmission systems in which instead of using a single codebook, a new codebook is designed for each retransmission
using Lloyd Algorithm which minimizes the average distortion. This approach combines the effect of precoding and
retransmission in MIMO thereby provides high sum rate and BER.

Abstract-Biometric authentication is an excellent way to security now days. Now it has been proven that each and every
individual has its own biometric feature such as Fingerprint, Iris, Lips, Palm, Face and Voice which is different from
other. Biometric recognition is used to identify their individuals and verify their identity. In this work two biometric
modalities namely lip and fingerprint are used to improve the accuracy of recognition. In lip recognition five various
mouth corners are detected to overcome the shadow, beard and rotation problems. In the finger print recognition minutiae
score matching is used and fingerprint verification is done by extracting and matching minutiae. Support vector machine
is employed for classification in this multi-biometric recognition. Improvement in recognition results is obtained when
lip biometric is fused with Fingerprint biometric. We show that our proposed methods are effective for a variety of
different recognition applications across security and forensics-oriented computer vision; including biometrics, object

Abstract-- A real time operating system is an operating system that is intended to serve application requests. A real time
system must be able to process data as and when it comes in, without any delays and stick to an intended timeline.
Missing these timelines may lead to disastrous effects. Scheduling and synchronization of tasks with common resource
has to be completed within the stipulated time to ensure proper working of the real time system. The Priority Ceiling
Protocol (PCP) fails to ensure this perfectness. A new factor has been introduced in the proposed algorithm in order to
avoid deadline miss, which prevails over the PCP algorithm.

Abstract-- Due to the continuously increasing computational power of modern data receivers it is possible to move more
and more processing from the analog to the digital domain. Software platforms have proved a superior scalability with
respect to hardware solutions. However, wireless communication rates cannot be faced resorting only to software.
Software Defined Radio paradigm will try to push reconfigurable blocks as near as possible to the antenna. The first
block suitable in this implementation is the Digital down Converter, needed to adapt higher antenna's data rate to
Intermediate Frequency ones. The digital down converter (DDC) is used in the front-end of multiple-antenna radar. This
conversion requires several digital filters working at very high sample rates with low power consumption. Here DDC
converts the frequency in the range of GHz to MHz by down sampling using multirate CIC filters.

Abstract-- In this brief, a scaling algorithm is proposed for VLSI implementation of an image scaling processor .The
memory demand for this proposed scaling algorithm is low. It is a low complexity and high quality algorithm. The
anticipated algorithm consists of a bilinear interpolation, a clamp filter, and a sharpening spatial filter . The sharpening
spatial filter and clamp filter acts as a prefilter to minimize the aliasing artifacts and blurring effect present in the image.
These filters are also used to enhance the image quality and results the high performance. The bilinear interpolation
algorithm is preferred owing to its low complexity and high quality. The bilinear interpolation is simplified by the
hardware sharing technique and by algebraic manipulation. It efficiently reduces computing resource and hardware costs.
The clamp filter and sharpening spatial filters both convoluted by a 33 matrix coefficient kernel are combined into a
55 combinedconvolution filter to reduce memory buffers and computing resources for the very large scale integration
(VLSI) implementation. For Further cutback of the memory buffers and computing resources, a T-model and inversed T-
model convolution kernels are formed for realizing the sharpening spatial and clamp filters. In addition two T-model or
inversed T-model filters are combined into a combined filter and it requires only one-line-buffer memory. Besides a
reconfigurable calculation unit is made-up for decreasing the hardware cost of the combined filter. The VLSI architecture
can attain 280 MHz by means of 6.08-K gate count.It has core area of 30 378 m2 synthesized by a 0.13-m CMOS
process. Compared with prior low-complexity techniques, this work shrinks gate counts by more than 34.4% and requires
only a one-line-buffer memory. The PSNR values for the scaled
image are used to signify the overall quality of the scaling algorithm.

Abstract-- In this testable reversible sequential circuit, we are designing of two vectors testable sequential circuits based
on conservative logic gates. The sequential circuits based on conservative logic gates outperform the sequential circuits
implemented in classical gates in terms of testability and detect the fault. Any sequential circuit based on conservative
logic gates can be tested and detected for classical unidirectional stuck-at faults using only two test vectors. The two test
vectors are all 1s, and all 0s. The designs of two vectors testable latches, master-slave flip-flops and double edge
triggered (DET) flip-flops are presented. The importance of the proposed work lies in the fact that it provides the design
of reversible sequential circuits completely testable for any stuck-at fault by only two test vectors, thereby eliminating the
need for any type of scan-path access to internal memory cells. We are also presenting a new conservative logic gate
called multiplexer conservative QCA gate (MX-CQCA) that is not reversible in nature but has similar properties as the
Fredkin gate of working as 2:1 multiplexer. The proposed MX-CQCA gate surpasses the Fredkin gate in terms of
complexity, speed, and area.

Abstract-- Privacy-preserving routing is crucial for some ad hoc networks that require stronger privacy protection. A
number of anonymous routing schemes have been proposed for ad hoc networks in recent years, and they provide
different level of privacy protection at different cost. These schemes are more scalable to network size, but require more
computation effort. However, existing schemes provide only anonymity and unlinkability, while unobservability is never
considered or implemented by now. An obvious drawback in existing schemes is that packets are not protected as a
whole. An secure privacy-preserving routing protocol APPRP that achieves content unobservability by employing
anonymous key establishment based on group signature. APPRP is to protect all parts of a packets content and it is
independent of solutions on traffic pattern unobservability. The unobservable routing protocol is then executed in two
phases. First, an anonymous key establishment process is performed to construct secret session keys. Then an
unobservable route discovery process is executed to find a route to the destination.

Abstract--IMAGE scaling is widely used in many fields, ranging from consumer electronics to medical imaging. In many
practical real-time applications, the scaling process is included in end-user equipment, so a good lower complexity
scaling technique, which is simple and suitable for low-cost VLSI implementation,is needed.here we proposed a low-
complexity, low-memory requirement,and high-quality algorithm is proposed for VLSI implementation of an image
scaling processor. The proposed Image scaling algorithm consists of a sharpening spatial filter, a clamp filter, and a
bilinear interpolation.To reduce the blurring and aliasing artifacts produced by the bilinear interpolation,the sharpening
spatial and clamp filters are added as prefilters. To minimize the memory buffers and computing resources here we use
hybrid method to combine spatial and clamp filter. Hardware cost is reduced by reconfigurable unit but large numbers of
adders are used. This will increase overall delay of the filter .in order to reduce the delay we propose high speed parallel
prefix based link adder with high valency. The experimental results will demonstrate that the proposed design performs
better than other lower complexity image scaling methods in terms of area and power overhead.

Abstract--Traditional routing protocols in Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) send periodic messages to realize the
changes in topology. Sending periodic messages cause overhead. Due to high mobility of nodes in mobile ad hoc
networks (MANETs), there exist frequent link breakages which lead to frequent path failures and route discoveries. In a
route discovery, broadcasting is a fundamental and effective data dissemination mechanism, in this paper; we propose a
neighbor coverage-based probabilistic rebroadcast protocol for reducing routing overhead in MANETs. In order to
effectively exploit the neighbor coverage knowledge. We can obtain the more accurate additional coverage ratio by
sensing neighbor coverage knowledge. We also define a connectivity factor to provide the node density adaptation. By
combining the additional coverage ratio and connectivity factor, we set a reasonable rebroadcast probability. Our
approach combines the advantages of the neighbor coverage knowledge the probabilistic mechanism and security
protocols which can significantly decrease the number of retransmissions so as to reduce the routing overhead, As well as
security is also a challenging factor in ad hoc networks. Resisting flooding attacks in ad hoc networks these technique
exploit secure data communication.General Terms-- Wireless Networks, Mobile Ad hoc Networks.

Abstract-- Based on fast FIR algorithms (FFAs), we propose distributed arithmetic algorithm based new parallel FIR
filter architectures, which are beneficial to symmetric convolutions in terms of the hardware cost. Multipliers are the
major portions in hardware consumption for the parallel FIR filter implementation. xchanging multipliers with adders is
advantageous because adders weight less than multipliers in terms of silicon area, and in addition, the overhead from the
increase in adders in preprocessing and post processing blocks stay fixed, not increasing along with the length of the FIR
filter, whereas the number of reduced multipliers increases along with the length of the FIR filter. In this project, we
propose an Linear Phase FIR Filter using Parallel Distributed Arithmetic Algorithm.

Abstract-- A major problem in voice communication over the Internet is represented by the created echo, due to the
microphones used and the very high latency of the transmission. The presence of a large acoustic coupling between the
loudspeaker and microphone would produce a loud echo that would make conversation difficult. They deals with low
frequencies and we can get good result in case of acoustic echo cancellation for low frequency signals. The Kalman filter
is a very powerful tool when it comes to controlling noisy systems. The basic idea of a Kalman filter is noisy data in
hopefully less noisy data out. In this paper we study the kalman filter in the context of echo cancellation. For each
iterations, insert block of time samples instead of one time sample. And the general kalman filter is connected to the
adaptive filter for echo cancellation. That is to apply the Normalized least-mean-square algorithm (NLMS), the affine
projection algorithm (APA), and its proportionate version of affine projection algorithm (PAPA). And to developed the
simplified general kalman filter for reduce the computational load of GKF. The echo cancellation is achieved by much

Abstract-- Most of the digital cameras usually uses single sensor covered with color filter array (CFA) to capture the
image, which reduces the cost and size of the camera. The CFA samples only single color value at each pixel location. To
reconstruct the full color image, the missing two color components at each pixel is to be estimated. The process of
estimating the missing component is called as demosaicing or color filter array interpolation. The proposed work uses the
edge oriented filter named as edge strength filter, which provides the edge information. The missing components are
interpolated by making the hard decision with the edge strength map. The green channel interpolation is implemented
using the adaptive color plane interpolation. The proposed technique produces the high quality image with less
computational complexity and it reduces the color artifacts.

Abstract-- In this paper, novel hardware architecture for performing point, line and edge detection using DAA is
proposed. Such detections are vital in digital image processing applications and in the literature most of the
implementations are on software platform only, especially in Matlab. Distributed Arithmetic Architecture (DAA) has
been widely used to implement inner product computations with fixed inputs. Conventional ROM-based DAA suffers
from large ROM requirements. To reduce the memory requirement, adder based DAA uses pre-defined structure for
computation. However, both the methods are suitable only if one input is constant. The proposed architecture overcomes
this disadvantage. The new architecture is termed as Multiplexer based Distributed Arithmetic Architecture (MUX based
DAA). The proposed architecture uses Multiplexer and DAA for inner product computations when both the inputs are
variables. In addition, it reduces ROM requirement and complexity in constructing Adder based architecture for higher
order inputs. The performance of the proposed architecture is compared with multiplier based implementation for 4-bit
and 8-bit cases. The modules are implemented on the Cadence 180nm technology. The MUX based DAA reduces
power up to 81% and needs only 40% of area as compared with multiplier based implementation.

Abstract-- This paper proposes a novel test pattern generator (TPG) for built-in self-test. Our method generates multiple
singleinput change (MSIC) vectors in a pattern, i.e., each vector applied to a scan chain is an SIC vector. A
reconfigurable Johnson counter and a scalable SIC counter are developed to generate a class of minimum transition
sequences. The proposed TPG is flexible to both the test-per-clock and the test-per-scan schemes. A theory is also
developed to represent and analyze the sequences and to extract a class of MSIC sequences. Analysis results show that
the produced MSIC sequences have the favorable features of uniform distribution and low input transition density.

Abstract-- This paper presents three different gesture recognition models which are capable of recognizing seven hand
gestures, that is up, down, left, right, tick, circle and cross based on the input signals from MEMS three access
accelerometers. The accelerations of a hand motion in three perpendicular directions or detected by three accelerometers
respectively and transmitted to a PC via Bluetooth wireless protocol. To compress data and to minimize the influence of
variations resulted from gestures made by different users, a basic feature based on sign sequence of gesture acceleration
is extracted. This method reduces hundreds of data values of a single gesture to a gesture code of eight numbers. Finally
a gesture is recognized by comparing the gesture code with the stored templates. Results based on 72 experiments, each
containing a sequence of hand gesture( totally 628 gestures), show that the best of the three models discussed in this
paper achieves an overall recognition accuracy of 95.6%, with the correct recognition accuracy of each gesture ranging
from 91% to 100%. We conclude that a recognition algorithm based on sign sequence and template matching as
presented in this paper can be used for non specific users hand- user- training gesture recognition without the time
consuming process prior to gesture recognition.

loss without sacrificing the sensing accuracy. With the aforementioned three proposed methods, a monolithic current-
mode dcdc buck converter is implemented in a 0.35-m 3.3-V CMOS process. The measured power-loss reductions and
efficiency improvements achieve 16 and 15mW, and 16% and 1%, both in light and heavy loads, respectively. The load
regulation and the transient recovery time are improved by 40 mV and 12 s, respectively, while the PLCS can reduce

Abstract-- This project deals with the design and analysis of the performance of series and shunt compensation in
stability improvement of transmission system. FACTS devices such as Static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is
used as a shunt compensator whereas static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) is used as series compensator in this
project and the management of reactive power for the improvement of electric power system performance is analyzed by
designing the FACTS devices. Adequate reactive power control solves power quality problems like flat voltage profile
maintenance at all power transmission levels and improvement of power factor, transmission efficiency and system
stability. Series and Shunt VAR compensation techniques are used to modify the natural electrical characteristics of
electric power system. Series compensation modifies the reactance parameter of the transmission or distribution system,
while shunt compensation changes the equivalent load impedance. In both cases, the line reactive power can be
effectively controlled thereby improving the performance of the overall electric power system. All the simulations are
carried out in MATLAB/Simulink with detailed models of the SSSC and the STATCOM and the results obtained are
analyzed.

Abstract--Current solar power technology has little chance to compete with fossil fuels or large electric grids. Todays
solar cells are simply not efficient enough and are currently too expensive to manufacture for large-scale electricity
generation. However, potential advancements in nanotechnology may open the door to the production of cheaper and
slightly more efficient solar cells. Nanotechnology might be able to increase the efficiency of solar cells, but the most
promising application of nanotechnology is the reduction of manufacturing cost. The basic concept is that Plastic is made
using Nano scale titanium particles coated in photovoltaic dyes, which generate electricity when they absorb light. These
new plastic solar cells utilize tiny nanorods dispersedwith in a polymer. The nanorods behave as wires because when
they absorb light of a specific wavelength they generate electrons. These electrons flow through the nanorods until they
reach the aluminum electrode where they are combined to form a current and are used as electricity. Another potential
feature of these solar cells is that the nanorods could be tuned to absorb various wavelengths of light. This could
significantly increase the efficiency of the solar cell because more of the incident light could be utilized.

information to physicians for diagnosis of heart diseases. It consists of several complexes, the P-complex, the QRS-
complex, the T complex and the U-complex.QRS corresponds to the depolarization of the right and left ventricles of the
human heart. QRS detection is an important part of the ECG signal processing systems. There are many algorithms used
for QRS detection. In this QRS detection is done based on morphological filtering. Dilation and erosion are the two
morphological operators involved in the algorithm. The noises such as baseline wandering and background noise from
ECG signals are removed by mathematical morphological filters.Then applied modulus and accumulation operation in
peak value of ECG signal. Absolute value is then combined by multiple frame accumulation which enhances the filtered
ECG signal to make QRS peak easy to identify. Adaptive threshold is used as the decision function in connection with
the proposed transformation for QRS detection. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with standard MIT-BIH

guideline specified in International Electro-technical Commission stan-dard, IEC-61400. The influence of the wind
turbine in the grid system concerning the power quality measurements are-the active power, reactive power, variation of
voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are measured according to
national/international guidelines. The paper study demonstrates the power quality problem due to installation of wind
turbine with the grid. In this proposed scheme STATic COMpensator (STATCOM) is connected at a point of common
coupling with a battery energy storage system (BESS) to mitigate the power quality issues. The battery energy storage is
integrated to sustain the real power source under fluctuating wind power. The STATCOM control scheme for the grid
connected wind energy generation system for power quality improvement is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK in
power system block set. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme relives the main supply source from the reactive
power demand of the load and the induction generator. The development of the grid co-ordination rule and the scheme

Abstract-- Aviation field always come across a common issue throughout the world while planning their materials in
inventory. Cost of maintaining unwanted inventory can hit the revenue of the airline operations. So a near optimal
solution is preferred for achieving this. Materials planning can be divided into two models i.e. stochastic and forecasted
model. Most of the airlines throughout the world follow stochastic models such as Max-Min, Reorder point (ROP)
method, etc. with the aid maintenance software packages widely available in market. It is found that they try to fit the
same methodology in almost complex dependent demand products in aviation where demand is discrete. The appropriate
method for this scenario i.e. Material Requirement Planning (MRP) is found to be not considered. MRP is nothing but a
ccomputerized inventory control and production planning system which helps in scheduling the planned order releases
along with appropriate lot sizing.

Abstract-- Value stream mapping (vsm) is one of the key lean tools used to identify the opportunities for various lean
techniques. As VSM involves all the process steps both value added and non value added, it is possible to see the hidden
waste and sources of waste. A current state map is drawn to document how things actually operated on the production
floor at present. Then, a future state map is developed to design a lean process flow through the elimination of the root
causes of waste and through process improvements. An implementation plan then outlines details of the steps needed to
support the LP objectives. This report is on production flow analysis of header production of BHEL using value stream

Abstract-- Cutting fluids in machining operations help to remove the heat generated during cutting, to achieve better tool
life and surface finish and to facilitate the flushing of chips. The machining without the use of any cutting fluid is
becoming increasingly important due to concern regarding safety and environmental legalization. In addition it reduces
17% of manufacturing costs by not using cutting fluids. However in Dry machining operations, the friction and adhesion
between chip and tool tend to be higher , which causes higher temperatures , higher wear rates and shorter tool life . This
problem can overcome by using PVD coated TiAlN cutting tool. PVD - TiAlN coated carbide tools are used frequently
in metal cutting process due to the higher hardness, wear resistance and chemical stability . In addition it improves tool
life and machining performance.
This paper reports the optimization of process parameters such as cutting speed (m/min),feed (mm/rev),depth of cut(mm)
and nose radius (mm) in Dry and Wet machining using Taguchi method. The work piece material is Titanium grade 2
materials which are most widely used in bio-medical applications due to its high strength to weight ratio and exceptional
corrosion resistance. The cost of titanium still remains high cost but longer service life counter balance the production
cost. If the work piece material is machined by Dry machining the production cost will be reduced further without
affecting the quality parameters .Experiment was conducted on Dry and Wet machining with identical cutting parameters
. The main output monitored was the surface roughness.

Abstract-- In this study, numerical analysis is conducted for material strength in longitudinal and transverse compressive
failure of composite materials. The deformation of composite materials is represented by motion equation and
constitutive equation. The nonlinear stress-strain relation of composite materials is represented by the nonlinear
deformation theory. For expressing the geometrical nonlinearity due to rotation of fiber direction during the material
deformation, the formulation of finite deformation is based on Truesdell rate of Cauchy stress. After several
mathematical analysis, it is derived that there exists a state where arbitrariness occurs in solution of equations expressing
deformation of composite materials. Using the arbitrariness condition, the longitudinal and transverse compressive
strength of the material are calculated.

Abstract-- Hospitals play an important role in protecting the health of a nation. However they also have an unhealthy
side inadvertently contributing to illness and pollution by exposing patients and staff to toxins from building materials,
medical waste, hospital supplies and cleaning products that consequently puts pressure on hospital supply chains. The
hospital waste management is of immense importance due to its infectious and hazardous nature that can cause many
effects on human health and the environment. Government regulations and public awareness regarding hospital waste
issues have forced hospital units to adopt some strategies for managing this waste. The new technologies and instruments
have been developed to handle hospital wastes. In response to these pressures some hospitals have initiated Green supply
chain management practices. Green supply chain management integrates Environmental Management and Supply Chain
Management. It has gained popularity in organizations with objectives of reducing waste and preserving the quality of

Abstract-- The experiments are carried out to investigate the wear performance in the coconut shell powder (CSP) and
coir fibre reinforced polyester resin composites. Pin-on-disc machine is used to investigate the abrasive wear property of
the polymer matrix composites against 400m grit size abrasive paper with the velocity of 2.0 m/s and the varying load
conditions are applied like 5N, 10N, 15N, 20N and 25N. The effect of the coconut shell powder and coir fibre
concentration and sliding distance on the weight loss of composites has been analyzed. The result shows that the
coefficient of friction increases with the increase of load in the CSP and coir fibre containing polymer matrix composites.
It is observed that the wear rate is increases with the increases in the applied load. The wear rate is decreases with the
addition of CSP and coir fibre. Whenever the applied load is increases, the friction at the contact surface of the material
and rotating disc is also increases. The addition of the CSP and coir fibre is act as reinforcement in the polymer matrix
composites. Due to this addition, the wear resistance increases.
Keywords-- Coconut shell powder, coir fibre, polyester, composite, abrasive wear.

Abstract-- In order to design the power apparatus such as bus bar or power cable, the current carrying capacity (or
ampacity) should be determined exactly since it is limited by maximum operating temperature. The temperature rise in
the power apparatus is due to Joules loss in the current carrying conductor and due to the induced eddy current in the
panel board. This paper presents a new technique that can be used to estimate the temperature rise in medium voltage bus
bar. In this paper, the power losses are calculated from the magnetic field analysis for various materials when ac current
flows into the three-phase bus bar and are used as the input data to predict temperature rise for the thermal analysis. The
heat transfer coefficient is calculated according to the model geometry and varying temperature and is coupled with the
finite element method. The temperature distribution in the bus bar by proposed method shows good agreement with the
experimental data, compared to that of the analytic method using fixed coefficient.
Index Terms-- Coupled method, heat transfer coefficient, magnetic

Abstract-- Media Filters are primarily used to separate suspended particles, river silt and other impurities from the water.
It is used in Irrigation and in Sewage water treatment. It has a robust fabrication with quality and precision. Media Filters
provide a fixed material on which a thin biological film is established by organisms in colonies growing on the surface of
the media as wastewater passes through the bed. These filters are used for fine sifting the water. These filters are capable
of handling high volume of flow up to 60,000 lit per hour. However they can be connected with help of header
assemblies for more volume of flow. So the need arises to control their operation automatically with the help of advance
in technology. Backwash operation is manual for the filter. We propose to use Pressure transmitter, electrically operated
valves, Microcontroller and timer for the operation for backwash operation. Pressure transmitters are used for two
pressure input at inlet and outlet. By setting a microcontroller we can measure P. If the value of P is larger than
specified value of designer, then a sequence of valves operate backwash mechanism. In backwashing of a filter the flow
of water is reversed in opposite direction.

Abstract-- This paper deals with the vital role of aerostatic principle to lift the worm wheel. By using this technology the
fixture has been designed which specifies the significance. An aerostatic lift is a non-contacting system where air acts as
the lubricant that separates the two surfaces in relative motion. The main objective of providing aerostatic lift is to ensure
ease of operation. This also helps in reducing friction with the contacting surfaces and thus reducing the effort. For this
system external pressure has been provided. For this the required pressure is calculated to lift the entire load. The
application of this principle is used in design of bit pressing fixture. The fixture consists of worm wheel, which is heavy
and hence it is difficult to give manual feed to rotate the worm wheel so that to adjust different angular positions. This
technology of aerostatic lift helps in reducing frictional forces and thus helps in rotating the worm wheel through given
feed. It also helps in sliding the tooling arrangement of the fixture.

Abstract-- Practically water is incompressible. Reciprocating pumps are used for lifting water from deep well as well as
shallow water levels. If a close fitting piston is drawn through a pipe full of water, it will displace water along the pipe
similarly, raising a piston in submerged pipe will draw water up behind it till the vacuum which would otherwise occur.
In first case piston serves to create a vacuum and the water is actually displaced by atmospheric pressure pressing on its
external surface. In this paper, we suggested a manually operated single acting reciprocating pump, where power is
given by manual paddling. In this work, the system is designed and fabricated such that by manual efforts, water can be
displaced by soiled object using non return valve so that water level is raised. By using this pump, effort applied is
reduced and energy is conserve. The design proposed is economical and has no environmental harms. It is observed that
flow rate is 100 ml per cycle.

Abstract-- Composite materials along with the thermoplastic matrices and with the reinforcement of natural fibers are
increasingly regarded as alternative for glass fiber-reinforcement composites. Natural fiber reinforced composite provides
some unique advantages for the customers, it includes less weight, bio degradable, and it has very good thermo physical
properties. The traditionally used reinforcing glass fibers is replaced by natural fibers such as flax, kenaf, cotton or
banana fiber. It can lead to the reduction in components weight and it improves specific properties like impact strength,
crash behavior or sound absorption.
Poor incompatibility between the hydrophilic natural fiber and non-polar polymers leads to negative effect. A variety of
silanes have been applied in order to improve its interfacial adhesion and improve the properties of composite. The
NaOH concentration had a major influence on the thermo physical properties of the composite. This work is focused on
the impact energy absorption structures includes helmet, car bumpers etc., by using High Impact Polystyrene as matrix
and Banana fiber as a reinforcement.

Abstract-- The computer aided engineering analysis and design optimization of rotary tillage tool on the basis of finite
element method and simulation method is done by using CAD-software for the structural analysis. In Indian farming, the
preparation of seedbeds for deep tillage using additional machinery and tillage tools are increased. Rotary tiller or
rotavator is one of the tilling machine most suitable for seedbed preparation. In a Rotary tillage machine, Blades are the
critical parts which are engaged with soil to prepare the land and to mix the fertilizer. These blades interact with soil in a
different way than normal plows which are subjected to impact that creates cyclic forces which result in fatigue failure of
the blade. This actually decreases the service life of a blade. Therefore, it is necessary to design and develop a suitable
blade. This paper describes the design modification and development of rotavator blade through the (CAD) interrogation
method by modifying the design and also by modifying the material properties. Then better design will be compared by
comparing the results

Abstract-- An impeller in a pump is the part that the motor spins. Due to its design when it spins it creates a vacuum that
pulls the water in the middle of an opening on the front of the impeller and throws it to the outside radically, where it is
then channeled to the output of the pump. Impeller creates defects arise due to improper casting process. To avoid these
defects a proper casting process must be selected and implemented. The selection of a proper gating system, runner and
riser design plays a major role in producing good castings. The defect shrinkage occurs due to the non-availability of
molten metal. If the additional metal is not present, it produces shrinkage. Generally shrinkage is common in places
where there is a large volume of metal is needed in casting. This can be avoided by proper gating design and producing
riser as required for the casting. It was decided to analyze the model of existing impeller through New Design Impeller
Gating system using Pro/E , Auto cast software packages to analyze shrinkage defects for quality assessment and closely
study the process. The possible areas of shrinkage occurring in casting can be located to take corrective actions.

Abstract-- This paper presents a new approach of implementing agile design and effective tool in manufacturing
concepts. The approach is based on the implementing the agile manufacturing system in Small Medium Enterprise
(SME). Agile manufacturing is a term applied to an organization that has created the processes, tools, and training to
enable it to respond quickly to customer needs and market changes while still controlling costs and quality. An enabling
factor in becoming an agile manufacturer has been the development of manufacturing support technology that allows the
marketers, the designers and the production personnel to share a common database of parts and products, to share data on
production capacities and problems particularly where small initial problems may have larger downstream effects.
Understand the roles and responsibilities of Six Sigma practitioners. Identify the benefits of Six Sigma as a business
improvement methodology. The various process times for manufacturing a mono block pump were obtained from a
pump manufacturing industry. A flow diagram showing the process is drawn to reflect the current state of the operation.
This makes the redesigned process more effective and efficient. By reducing wastefulness the proportion of value adding
time in the whole process rises and speed is increased. This project addresses the application of agile manufacturing
concepts to the small scale pump manufacturing industry for increasing the production time and profit level.

Abstract-- Conventional manufacturing thought limits the rejection reduction plans to rejections which needs to be
scrapped and implies direct loss. But present scenario in manufacturing industries, which is facing a very competitive
environment, needs to consider not only rejections leading to scrap but also rejections which can be reworked or reused.
Rejections which leads to rework results in man-hour losses which in turn affects the productivity of the organization.
This paper focuses on assembly rejections of vacuum pump type alternators. Top of the Pareto is a rejection called
Pump rotation tight which accounts to 50% of total assembly line rejection of vacuum pump type alternators. In order
to reduce the rejection & rework, a study is conducted to analyze the rejection using appropriate statistical tools, Shainin
technique for assembly process which indicated that two of the sub assembly components were the root cause for the
rejection and subsequently optimize the subassembly shaft spline runout which is manufactured by cold rolling process
using Taguchi Orthogonal array. Application of these tools helped in improving the knowledge base of the
manufacturing and assembly process and also helped narrowing down to the root cause or a number of root causes in
quick span of time.

Abstract-- Natural fiber reinforced composites is an emerging area in polymer science. These natural fibers are stumpy
cost fibers with low density and high specific properties. These are eco-friendly and non-abrasive. The natural fiber
composites suggestion specific properties comparable to those of conventional fiber composites. Still, in development of
these composites, the unsuitability of the fibers and poor resistance to moisture often reduce the potential of natural fibers
and these draw backs become critical issue. These methods utilize finite element analysis techniques, together with
experimental results, to detect damage. They locate and estimate damage events by comparing dynamic responses
between damaged and undamaged structures. This paper reviews the various techniques of vibration analysis on natural
fiber composites are finite element method, numerical simulations, frequency and time domain method, graphic
technique and mathematical formula, etc.

Abstract--Now a days a manufacturing system is oriented towards higher production rate, quality, and reduced cost.
Surface roughness is an index for determining the quality of machined products and is influenced by the cutting
parameters. In die manufacturing industries Surface roughness of dies are considered as a vital quality characteristic. For
the complex shapes of a die, three dimensional machining is done by ball end mill in the most cases. In this study the
average surface roughness value (Ra) for a die material AISI 4340 has been measured after ball end milling operation.
Before conducting the experiments a design of experiment was done with Response Surface Methodology (RSM). 49
experiments have been conducted varying Cutter Axis Inclination Angle ( degree), Tool Diameter (d mm), Spindle
Speed (S rpm), Feed Rate (fymm/min), Feed (fx mm), Depth of Cut (t mm) in order to find Ra. This 49 data has been
used for training purpose and more 25 data has been collected with random selection of input parameters and used as
testing data set. The training data set has been used for train different ANFIS and RSM model for Ra prediction. And
testing data set has been used for validate the models. Better ANFIS model has been selected for minimum value of mean
square error (MSE) which is constructed with two double sided Gaussian membership functions (gauss2MF) for each
input variables and a linear membership function for output. The Selected ANFIS model has been compared with
theoretical model and RSM. This comparison was done based or Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute
Percentage of Error (MAPE). The comparison shows that the selected ANFIS model gives better result for training and
testing dataset. So, this ANFIS model can be used further for predicting surface roughness of a commercial die material
(AISI 4340) for ball end milling operation. Correlation test shows that only cutter axis inclination angle and feed (fxmm)
have correlations with surface roughness.

Anna University, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India.

Abstract-- Hard turning is the process of machining materials of higher hardness (above 45 HRC), predominantly
superior hardened steels by using CBN and PCBN inserts in CNC turning centres. When compared to conventional
grinding, hard turning produces parts with more dimensional accuracy and good surface finish. Most importantly it
eliminates the grinding process. The problem faced in hard turning is the formation of white layer over the surface of the
work that is caused by the
(a)The mechanism of plastic flow producing a homogeneous structure or one with a very fine grain structure.
(b) The mechanism of rapid heating and quenching resulting in transformation products.
(c) The mechanism of surface reaction with the environment such as nitriding, carburizing and oxide ploughing
The white layer decreases the fatigue life of the work material. The main objective of this paper is to reduce the
white layer on the surface of work. Pre machining of AISI D2 steel is pre-machined by using tungsten carbide tool to a
specified dimension, followed by heat treatment and increase the hardness of the part machined around 58HRC. Hard
turning is carried out by CNC turning centres using TiAlN coated CBN insert (round off edged). During the machining
process the shielding gas is supplied at a suitable pressure over the work and the formation of white layer due to
reactionwith theenvironmentis observed and analyzed by using scanning electron microscope

Abstract-- Vapour absorption refrigeration system (VARS) is the best alternative to the vapour compression refrigeration
system (VCRS) from the view point of energy consumption. But, the major drawback of absorption system compared to
compression system is its higher capital investment. This study primarily focuses on possibilities of cutting down losses
of absorption system and optimizing the overall system thermo dynamically to achieve an effective vapour absorption
refrigeration system. Variations in the performance parameters of the system are studied against various operating
temperatures of generator and absorber. The result of this theoretical study show that coefficient of performance (COP)
value can be improved by elevating generator temperature up to certain level and lowering absorber temperature. At such
elevated generator temperature, value of circulation ratio (CR) is lowered. This system limited with 1kw evaporator

Abstract-- Heating of water for domestic purpose is simple and effective way of utilizing solar energy. Though the initial
cost of solar water heating system is high, the maintenance cost and zero green energy cost. To overcome the problem of
high initial cost this paper suggests utilizing alternative material with very good absorbing efficiency material instead of
copper. The stainless steel tube coated with epoxy-polyether and aluminium with copper oxide coating are used as a
header and riser tube material instead of copper which is in practice now-a-days. This paper introduces a new heating
system which has flat plate collector of effective performance at low cost eventhough stainless steel and aluminium has
low thermal conductivity. Experiments have been conducted by using copper, stainless steel and aluminium tubes as
header and riser tubes. The result shows that copper, aluminium and stainless bestow same performance. Also cost of
stainless tube with epoxy-polyether and aluminium with copper oxide are less than that of copper tube.

Abstract-- Today, globalization has become a reality. Advances in the field of information and technology and
liberalization in trade and investment have increased the ease and speed with which companies can manage their global
operations. Due to globalization, many companies are now operating in more than one country. This crossing of
geographical boundaries by the companies gives the birth of multicultural organization where employees from more than
one country are working together. It may be true that companies are finding these expansions as attractive and lucrative
but operating and managing a global business is normally a lot tougher than managing a local company. The global
business is affected by a number of factors like differences in- socio, economic, cultural, legal and political
environments. The global business is also prone to a number of risks like political risk, currency risk, cross-cultural risks
etc... Human resources are required to perform at all operational levels across all business units be it domestic or global.
In such circumstances, the risk of cross cultural discrepancies is inevitable. The aim of this paper is to find out these
discrepancies and then suggest some effective solutions to manage effectively the cross cultural aspect of human
resources for the success of global business.

Abstract-- Strong brands influence customer choice. A brand becomes strong when it retains its core values and purpose
with time. Manifestation of these might change from time to time depending on internal and external factors. The key to
combat is to have a strategic consistency for the brand to maintain its distinct identity.
A brand is an intangible asset and also a critical component of what a company stands for. Brands never become icons
over night and many of them have failed because they couldn't "connect" with their audience. Name of the brand,
Positioning and Packaging are the ingredients to be used so that the customer is not confused and a unique and distinct
identity is built for the brand. (Jagdeep Kapoor, Managing Director, Samsika Marketing Consultancy)
So how do brands consistently ensure that they create their value?
How can the brands change the world in which they operate?
This research work has been carried out by forming and analyzing the propositions right from the foundation of
environment, employing people, owning a brand name (Geoffrey consulting), strengthening brand association (Nodal
Map), creating emotional branding to stay in customers minds, tackling crisis and providing the best moments of truth to
engage the people in bringing the brand into their life.
All the information specified in this paper comes from a self-reported survey and is the result of analysis of the data. It is
our opinion; the information presented in this report represents an insightful and valuable assessment of the state of
branding which can be applied for any products/services in todays multi-channel world.

Abstract-- The construct of emotional intelligence was introduced to the academic and was put onto public by Goleman,
(1995) and Salovey and Mayer (1990) after which it started gaining its importance to understand how management can
use it efficiently for improving the quality of human resources in various organizations. The industries were no more,
once it used to be and the necessity of Emotional Intelligence for the employees is the need of the hour. The main
purpose of this paper is to study the impact of emotional intelligence on work performance. If the employees know their
own emotion and are able to manage them effectively, they can work more efficiently and be more productive to the
organization. Employees will also recognize and appreciate others colleagues. Emotionally intelligent people are highly
satisfied from their jobs. The components of Emotional Intelligence like Self Awareness, Self Management, Relationship
Management, and Social Awareness were considered to analyze the potency of Emotional intelligence of the employees.
A single individual can collapse the emotion of a group and similarly the single individual can also convey how one can
effectively manage ones emotions to a group of audience. The other factors that affect job performance is relations and
communication between management and employees. After reviewing the literatures it has been found that Emotional
intelligence is positively correlated with the work performance. A healthy relationship between management and
employees also lead to increase in employees performance and thereby leading to enhancing organization commitment.
In order to improve administrative performance and practices it is necessary to develop Emotional Intelligence
competencies in persons. The present paper is conceptual, analytical paper may provide more accurate results according
to variables measurement. The emotional intelligence constraints are also important for organization productivity, social
awareness, self-management and self-awareness. It was finally found that, it was effective personal competencies which
plays a vital role in emotional intelligence, leads to job satisfaction, that lead to organizational commitment that further
leads to reduction in turnover intention, thereby enhancing the value and efficiency of the human resources. The
conclusions and associations of the research discussed were with reference to the previous findings.

Abstract--This project presents a new dual bridge DC/DC converter for medium power applications which can solve the
drawbacks of conventionally existing phase-shifted full bridge converters. It eliminates the narrow zero voltage switching
(ZVS) range. The proposed converter configuration is composed of leading leg and lagging leg SHBIs. Phase shift control
is employed to control the phase difference between the two bridge inverters. By shifting the phase, the converter changes
the two inverters output voltage overlapping area to regulate its output voltage. The secondary side of the transformers is
connected in series so no output inductor is needed since each transformer individually acts as an inductor. This structure
allows the proposed converter to have the advantages of full ZVS range. ZVS eliminates turn on switching loss of the power
switch. In this paper, the circuit analysis, operating principle and relevant analysis results of the proposed converters are
presented.

Abstract--The mechanical properties of cellular metals greatly depend on their relative density, cell topology, including cell
shape, cell size and material properties of the cell wall. However, the cell shape effect on the mechanical properties of such
materials appears to be ignored in previous research. In this study, cell shape effect of aluminum alloyed cellular metal
under compressive deformation behaviour was assessed under static and dynamic loading Conditions. Lotus type Cellular
metals with 90% relative density were manufactured via casting processes. Three typical cell shapes i.e. circular, square and
hexagonal are taken into consideration with three different types of orientations of aluminum cellular metal studied for same
amount of relative density. Compressive behaviour of cellular metal were studied. The cellular metal also modelled using
commercial Finite Element (FE) simulation tool ANSYS 14.0. From the experimental results compression modulus of
Elasticity and Poisson ratios are calculated. The stress strain behaviour of both experimental and simulation results
compared.

Abstract--Truck chassis is a major component in a vehicle system. This work involves static and dynamics analysis to
determine the key characteristics of a truck chassis. The static characteristics include identifying location of high stress area
and determining the torsion stiffness of the chassis. The dynamic characteristics of truck chassis such as the natural
frequency and mode shape were determined by using finite element (FE) method. Experimental modal analysis was carried
out to validate the FE models. Modal updating of the truck chassis model was done by adjusting the selective properties
such as mass density and Poissons ratio. Predicted natural frequency and mode shape were validated against the
experimental results. Finally, the modification of the updated FE truck chassis model was proposed to reduce the vibration,
improve the strength and optimize the weight of the truck chassis. The major area of concern in the truck chassis was
structural resonance at 52 Hz, experienced during the torsional and bending modes. Modifications to shift natural
frequencies were proposed by increasing the thickness of the chassis center section by 2 mm and additional stiffener
members located at the center of the base plate with a thickness of 10 mm. The overall modifications resulted in the natural

Abstract--A Manufacturing world which concentrated on design, product development, production rate and profit now has
to focus on tool life, human welfare and environmental issues due to the fulfillment of statutory requirements and quality
aspects. This paved way for the birth of the several approaches for risk assessment and control of occupational hazards. In
the metal working industry, one of the most important issues is the heat generated in cutting process. High temperature in
metal cutting degrades the tool life, surface integrity, size accuracy and machining efficiency. Main objective can be
achieved by maintaining the important cutting fluid parameters and operating procedures during the machining process.
Detailed studies have revealed that the exposure to cutting fluid has harmful effects on human health due to inhalation and
skin contacts. Also sever contamination impacts on the environment in the form of air and land pollutions resulting from
vapor released during machining process and disposal of used oil. This project focused on the quality improvements of
cutting fluid and the standard practices of usage during the machining operation mainly attributed on reduction in cutting
zone temperature and minimize its adverse effects on human health and environment.

PREDICTION OF WRINKLING EFFECT IN DEEP DRAWING PROCESS
USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK (MFT002)
Name: K.Ramasamy
M.A.R Collge Of Engineering

Abstract-- In sheet metal industries, the ability to predict and avoid surface defects, such as wrinkling, is of great
importance. Wrinkling behavior can be affected by various factors. However, little research has focused on generalization of
the role of geometry on the occurrence of wrinkling, the geometrical features of various formed parts are generalized and
correlated with surface behavior (wrinkled or wrinkle-free).It is extremely difficult to develop an analytical model for
wrinkling including all factors. The proposed neural network model is an attempt to deal with such a complicated non linear
system in a predictive way. Here several numerical simulations using FEM (ANSYS) are performed to obtain the teaching
data required for training the neural network by means by back-propagation algorithm. Here the input parameters to the
network given such as cup height, sheet thickness, punch velocity and coefficient of friction. For each case the wrinkling
factor is predicted by the learned neural network and numerically tested. Using simulation data to train and test it, the model
was applied to new data for prediction of the occurrence of wrinkling. The network can correctly forecast a large portion of
the occurrence of wrinkling based on the given information on the geometrical features of points.

Abstract-- In the present day globally competitive environment, products produced with good quality, reduced cost and
delivered at the shortest possible time, only can survive. In order to achieve the above, concept of Concurrent Engineering
(CE) can be applied. Knowledge Based System (KBS) is one of the tools of CE and is used to reduce product development
time and cost. CE concept has been used in small and medium scale industries also, in addition to the large scale industries.
In this project work, KBS has been developed for a small scale industry where job works such as machining of air
compressor parts, tractor parts, etc., are carried out using CNC turning centre and other conventional machines. The
complete activities of the small scale industry selected are studied. Data related to cutting tool selection for various
processes, selection of tool holder, machining time and cost are collected and entered in different formats. Knowledge
database has been developed using Visual Basic software. It has been found that by the application of KBS, considerable
time is saved in determining the cost involved for the job works of the Small Scale Industry.

Abstract--Rapid change in most segments of the society is occurring as a result of increasingly more sophisticated,
affordable and ubiquitous computing power. One clear example of this change process is the internet, which provides
interactive and instantaneous access to information that must scarcely conceivable only a few years ago. Same is the case in
the medical field. Adv in instrumentation, visualisation and monitoring have enabled continual growth in the medical field.
The information revolution has enabled fundamental changes in this field. Of the many disciplines arising from this new
information era, virtual reality holds the greatest promise. The term virtual reality was coined by Jaron Lanier, founded of
VPL research, in the late 1980s. Virtual reality is defined as human computer interface that simulate realistic environments
while enabling participant interaction, as a 3D digital world that accurately models actual environment, or simply as
cyberspace.Virtual reality is just beginning to come to that threshold level where we can begin using Simulators in Medicine
the way that the Aviation industry has been using it for the past 50 Years to avoid errors.

Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Abstract --This paper proposes an idea for finding a multi-objective optimal path for a mobile robot in a given known
environment from a user defined initial point to final point. The objectives considered here for optimization are, length of
the path and smoothness of the path. The length of the path is defined as distance covered by the robot while it moves from
one point to another and the optimal length of path is shortest path that reaches the final point after avoiding obstacles.
Smoothness is defined as the number of turns taken by robots to reach the final point. Since the robot changes its pose by
turning, the velocity of robot reduces which results in more consumption and as well as the time to reach the destination.
First objective here ensures the distance travelled by the robot to destination point is to be minimum and the second
objective ensures that the turns are minimum and thus robots need not reduce its velocity while turning. Ultimately, with the
optimization of these two objectives, the robot can reach the location as soon as possible and without reduction of any
velocity. The proposed idea can allow the robot, to find the optimal solution, which has shortest path and smoothest path.
Key words: genetic algorithm, length of the path, robots, smoothness.

Abstract-- The success of livestock farming is largely dependent on the continuous supply of good quality nutritious feeds at
competitive price. Feed alone constitute about 60-70 per cent of total cost of production of livestock products. Therefore, it
needs more attention though other factors are also important for remunerative return from livestock enterprises. RCM is a
very useful tool in industries with strong constraints as regards users and safety, but in spite of being a standardize approach
RCM can be adapted to particular constraints and requirements of the industry where it is applied. The concept of
Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) is applied to the Feed Processing Unit. The executing RCM workgroup includes an
owner and operator of the analyzed Feed Plant, a maintenance service provider, a provider of condition-monitoring services
and Feed Plant component supplier as well as researchers at academic. Combining the results of failure statistics and
assessment of expert judgment, the analysis is focused on the most critical subsystems with respect to failure frequencies
and consequences: the Hammer Mill, the Pellet Mill, the electrical system and the hydraulic system. The study
provides the most relevant functional failures, reveals their causes and underlying mechanisms and identifies
remedial measures to prevent either the failure itself or critical secondary damage. The study forms the basis for
development of quantitative models for maintenance strategy selection and optimization, but may also provide a feedback of
field experience for further improvement of Feed Plant design.

Abstract --Feed Processing Unit is one of the Major Agro Based Industry. The success of livestock farming is largely
dependent on the continuous supply of good quality nutritious feeds at competitive price. Feed alone constitute about 60-70
per cent of total cost of production of livestock products. Therefore, it needs more attention though other factors are also
important for remunerative return from livestock enterprises. The farmers used to feed the crop residues to the cattle and
buffaloes, however, sheep and goat are normally maintained on grazing/browsing with supplementary feeding of broken
grains/other byproducts. Therefore, feeding of balanced concentrate feed to these animals was not common, because of low
productivity and un-remunerative prices for the livestock products. The improved poultry is fed only with concentrated feed.
The requirement of food of animal origin like milk, meat and eggs is increasing at a faster rate due to increased awareness
about the significance of protective proteins for the maintenance of human health. The farmers realized the importance and
started rearing good quality and high productive animals/birds under stall-fed conditions. With the increased demand for
livestock products for domestic consumption as well as export, the farmers realized maintaining of quality animals with
proper feeding and management. The proportion of crossbred animals or improved strains of birds increased over the years.
This has necessitated higher demand for balanced concentrate feed. Presently, various milk unions, poultry corporations/
federations and private companies are supplying both cattle and poultry feed of different qualities and forms (mash/ pellets/
crumbles) to the farmers. Large size poultry farm/dairy farm owners, hatcheries and cooperative poultry units are normally
manufacturing their own feed by installing the necessary plant and machinery on the farm. Some of the farmers are still
feeding broken grains, cakes, guar, salt, etc. to dairy animals by mixing at home. This cost analysis investigates the
problems in the Feed Processing Machinery for its efficiency by Energy Audit.

Abstract--Control valves are one of the oldest valve types used for throttling application for all sizes due to better
controllability and range. There are different types of globe valve available, but for control valve condition cage and plug
designs are widely employed. Cage and design consist of body, valve cage, plug and an actuation mechanism.At present the
globe valves designed for various purposes are of these 150/300/600/1500/2500/4500 classes. Now the requirements of
globe valves are to control high pressure and high temperature, which doesnt come under these classes. My project is to
design and analysis of multi stage 3000 rating globe valve. This project is about to design a globe valve, which can control
high pressure required in the boiler which is used in thermal power plants and in petroleum refineries, which is not under
the above given classes. The 3000 pressure rating globe valve is redesigned and two dimensional and the three dimensional
design software are used to design the particular globe valve and the flow path analysis and stress analysis is done using
analysis softwares.

Abstract This work describes about the stress concentration in a rectangular specimen with a circular hole made up of
hybrid composite material with the combination of glass/carbon with epoxy. The arrangements of cross ply lamina in the
sequence of alternative carbon and glass as using carbon fibre and in panel gives more strength to the structure as the
carbon properties are high when compared to glass. Typical aircraft and automobile components are with cut-outs and
such cut-outs reduce the weight of the aircraft according to the weight reduction law and also it reduced the bulking load
carrying capacity. Experimental investigations were carried out using three specimens as per ASTM D5766 in the
Universal Testing Machine. Stress concentration in the rectangular specimen with a hole is also analyzed using FEA and
comparing the results.
Key points: composite, finite element analysis, stress concentration, tensile strength.

Abstract Grey Cast Iron and AlSi alloy are the more commonly used materials for cylinder liner applications in
automobiles. With the upcoming need for an efficient utilization of fuel resources and alternate fuel resources, there is a
subsequent need for the improvement of surface properties as well as to reduce the engine weight. Hard Chromium coatings
exhibit attractive properties such as high hardness and excellent wear resistance and have been widely used in the
automotive, aerospace and manufacturing industries. The main limitation is that chromium coatings are not environmentally
friendly coating and thus replacements are sought. In this paper, the potential of WC based coating deposited on AlSi Alloy
and Grey Cast Iron using HVOF (High velocity oxygen fuel) coating have been discussed. The role of surface flattening
behavior of these materials by WC based coating is also discussed. The thickness of the coating was measured using SEM
(Scanning Electron Microscope). A significant improvement in the hardness was noted as a better surface behavior which
was measured using Vickers micro hardness.

Abstract: In the present work, heat transfer and friction characteristics were experimentally investigated, employing
louvered and circular insert in a plain tube heat exchanger. The louvered insert and circular insert were inserted into the
tube to generate turbulent flow which helped to increase the heat transfer rate of the tube. The flow rate of the tube was in a
range of Reynolds number between 800 to 2400 for laminar flow and 9000 to 23,000 for turbulent flow conditions. In
theexperiment, first thewater was flowed through the plain tube without inserts and the readings are taken down. After that
the inserts are placed inside the tube and the readings was taken. The experimental data obtained were compared with those
from plain tubes of published data. Experimental results confirmed that the use of inserts leads to a higher heat transfer rate
over the plain tube.
