Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams Reinforced With GFRP Rebars

This study reports test results of 12 concrete beams measuring 150mm wide × 180mm deep× 1200mm long reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars subjected to a four point loading system. The test specimens were classified into three groups according to the concrete compressive strength. The main variation done for each beam in all the three groups was percentage of reinforcement (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%). Since all the beams were over reinforced failure occurred due to rupture of concrete at compression zone. The failure is initiated by a vertical crack at the midspan which extended up to compression zone of the beam and propagated horizontally which leads to bond failure between top concrete and compression reinforcement. The test results revealed that the crack widths and mid-span deflection significantly reduced by increasing the reinforcement ratio. The ultimate load increased by 7.5%, 16.8%, 27.7% as the reinforcement percentage increased from 0.5% to 1%, 1.55 and 2% respectively. The flexural provisions of structural design guidelines namely ACI 440.1R-06, ECP 208-2005 and CSA S806-12 were evaluated against the test data. ACI 440.1R-06 over estimates the moment resistance of GFRP bars as compared to other codes and experimental results. Whereas all the design guidelines predicts nearly the same values for deflection. And for crack width approximation Toutanji’s equation is more accurate compared to ACI equation.

Object Sorting Robot Based on Shape

In present days, all industrial systems are fully automated. Object sorting is one of the popular system for industrial applications. In past days humans are used for the object sorting but it was the time consuming process for large number of objects in industries. Replacement of human operators with robotic arm will reduce human efforts and also provides high accuracy & efficiency. Robotic arm operating using ARM7. Detection of shape is using image processing in MATLAB. Robotic arm is control by microcontroller with DC motor. This paper presents on object sorting base on shape of object using image processing. Image is captured by using camera, then image processing is perform for shape identification. This project deals with fully automatic industrial material handling system. The aim of this project is the separate out objects according to it’s shape.

Use of Demolished Waste in Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate in Concrete

There is an oversized quantity of dismantled waste generated each year in Republic of India and alternative developing countries. Since terribly bit of this waste is recycled or reused. So, disposing this waste may be a terribly major problem as a result of it needs an oversized quantity of house. This study may be a a part of comprehensive program whereby experimental investigations are distributed to judge the impact of partial replacement of coarse mixture by dismantled waste on compressive strength and workability of DAC (Demolished mixture Concrete). For the study seven, fourteen and twenty eight days compressive strengths were recorded. The previous study on this project shows that the compressive strength of the DAC (Demolished mixture Concrete) is somehow resembles with the traditional concrete if utilized in a correct quantity up to half-hour. thus during this study we've got taken the dismantled concrete mixture 100 percent, 15%, two hundredth by weight of the traditional coarse mixture and also the concrete cubes were casted by that dismantled concrete mixture then any tests conducted like workability , compressive strength for that DAC and also the result obtained ar found to be comparable the traditional concrete

Veneers: Modern Approach of Dentistry-A Review

A captivating smile showing an even row of natural, gleaming white teeth is a major factor in achieving that elusive dominant characteristic known as personality. An individual can achieve this personality with a warm, vibrant and friendly smile. With advances in science and technology in the field of esthetic dentistry. porcelain laminate veneers has worked wonders to the victims of unaesthetic and discoloured teeth. Veneers provide the most conservative technique of improving the appearance, modifying contour, restoring enamel defects, masking discoloration and closure of diastema. The conservation of sound tooth structure helps to preserve the tooth vitality and reduces postoperative sensitivity. The porcelain veneers are one of the most aesthetic,durable conservative and biocompatible anterior restorations.They consist of a thin layer of porcelain that is directly bonded to the labial surface of the tooth structure.

Design & Analysis of Robotic Arm’s Part for Carbon Composite Material

The paper is presents the understanding important of digital prototype over prototype in manufacturing engineering. Today, in this modern fast growing industrial age, every company is looking for speed in manufacturing to meet the needs and requirements of its clients. Whereas agricultural field is still an exception. Robots are more quickly, cheaply, and accurately than humans have ever been. The materials in contact with the moving arm experience very large elastic deformations and stress, and may move at a velocity close to that of the tool. Our project mainly deals around the shearing operation, our challenge is designing and optimizing a light weight material robotics arm’s part which is more durable and reliable. After related study we have achieved the design and analysis of a jointed robotic arm’s part were the base is fixed and the remaining joints move in vertical and horizontal directions.

A Review Paper on Residential Grid Connected Solar Photovoltaic System Using Matlab Simulink

With pace of time there is a huge development in technologies. In recent time there is a concern of energy as right now fossil fuel is used but as population increasing in near future to meet demand it would be very tough that why we are focusing on renewable energy. Distributed energy resources based micro grid and Nano-grid framework is most technically viable bottom-top approach to sustainably meet ever-increasing demand of rural and urban communities. Recently the growth of DC operative home appliances like mobile and lap top chargers, ovens and hair dryer’s etc. are increasing and therefore a DC/DC converter is an efficient way to meet the electricity need from the local DER and helps in improving the system efficiency. In our dissertation we took three different section of solar panel and after that simulation carried out with help of buck boost converter and besides this MPPT algorithm (P & O method) for solar PV module and closed loop PI control system also used. The proposed methodology is to extract maximum DC power from solar PV system and it is directly fed to DC load or DC Nano grid. The simulation results demonstrate the boost converter application for maintain constant voltage at DC bus irrespective of variation of solar PV generation.
