The gears are used to transmit the motion and power from one shaft to another shaft by physical contact between gear teeth. The bevel gear is used to transmit motion and power between the axis of intersection and the non-intersecting axis. Gears are generally subjected to loads due to these loads, tooth bending stress and contact stress will be developed on the gear tooth. Much research on the action of the gear has confirmed that contact stresses also influence the formation of pits on the surface of the tooth. Gear tooth is the most important element in a gear system and has been focused on the current study. An analysis has been carried out for the three different types of materials used to make the bevel gear. The failure of gears due to contact stress is high compared to bending stress. Stress analysis has been a key area of research to minimize failure of the gear and optimize the design. The study of contact stress developed between the mating gears are very important for the gear design. The current goal is that the finite element analysis of the bevel gear is performed to determine the maximum contact stress by ABAQUS as the solver and also the theoretical maximum contact stress is calculated by the Hertz equation. In this study finite element analysis results were validated with theoretical results. .

Mutation Testing is a white-box, unit testing technique widely used for the software quality assurance. This technique athough powerful, but is computationally expensive and this expense has barred mutation testing from becoming a popular software testing technique. However the recent engineering advancements have provided us with a number of ways for reducing the cost of mutation testing. There are a number of factors that are making mutation testing an expensive technique, one is high computational cost involved due to execution of large number of generated mutants, second being the huge amount of human effort involved for checking the output of mutant program with original one and for manually detecting the equivalent mutants. In this paper we have tried to closely review and analyze nature propelled meta-heuristic available techniques like ABC, PSO, PeSO for reducing the cost of mutation testing so that we can come up with a feasible and efficient cost reduction technique in mutation testing.

Iterative decoder implementation for turbo codes is an demanding assignment. Several algorithms have been projected to facilitate the implementation of iterative decoder for turbo codes. This paper examines the implementation of an iterative decoder for turbo codes using the MAX−LOG−MAP algorithm and Fully parallel turbo decoding algorithm (FPTD). Despite the fact that the MAX-LOG-MAP practices turbo encoded bits in a serial forward-backward style, the proposed algorithm functions in a fully-parallel behaviour, processing all bits in both components of the turbo code at the same time. The FPTD algorithm is attuned with all turbo codes, including those of the LTE and WiMAX standards. BER performance among these two algorithms is envisaged.

Basic environmental features which can affect health of structure should be recorded in addition to other inputs e.g. repair history, reasons for distressed condition if known by interaction with local people. New technologies option in rehabilitation is based on the assessment of the respective structure. Nondestructive testing was performed to evaluate the integrity of damaged concrete structures. Rebound hammer can be used to find hardness of the concrete structure surface, and its strength is related using inbuilt calibration curve in the instrument. The range of properties that can be assessed using non-destructive tests and partially destructive tests is quite large and includes such fundamental parameters as density, elastic modulus and strength as well as surface hardness and surface absorption, and reinforcement location, size and distance from the surface. In some cases it is also possible to check the quality of workmanship and structural integrity by the ability to detect voids, cracking and delamination. For new structures, the principal applications are likely to be for quality control or the resolution of doubts about the quality of materials or construction. The testing of existing structures is usually related to an assessment of structural integrity or adequacy.
