R.Ramya, C.Sandhya, R.Ramky, Dr. G.S. AnandhaMala · March 2018 · pp. 20-24

Hypoplasia is a defect of the teeth caused by defective enamel matrix formation. It is classified into several categories based on its root cause and the region of defect. In this study, we discuss the hypoplasia occurring in the enamel part of the teeth. Enamel hypoplasia occurring due to environmental factors is called Dental Fluorosis and which occurs due to hereditary problems is called Amelogenesis Imperfecta. Both AI and DF can be cured effectively if they are detected in the early stages of formation. The appearance of stains is similar in both cases which results in a diagnostic dilemma for the dentists. Currently, due to the technological advancements, different radiographs such as panoramic and periapical radiographs are used for diagnosis. Radiographs can provide accurate results, but the frequent exposure to radiation can result in some deterministic and stochastic health effects like cell killing, damage of tissues. Also, this process can be time-consuming for screening a large number of patients for epidemiological surveys.

Effect of Infinite Friction during Load Transfer in Lug Joints

P. Neelima, B.Meghashyam Raju · March 2018 · pp. 37-41

Pin joints are structural elements which are extensively used in mechanical and structural design. Friction plays a significant role in fastener joints in redistributing the stress and there by affecting fatigue life. In the current this thesis lug joint with rigid and interference fit is considered¬¬. It is well known that as the load is increased on the interface, localised relative slip is initiated between the pin and the lug. This initiated slip is due to the shear forces on parts of interface overcoming the local frictional forces. Therefore the region of slip spreads non- linearly with the applied load. Slip amplitude for interference fit with infinite friction is determined by inverse technique. This slip region leads to high stress concentration at the edge of the hole influence difficulties in fretting damage, crack initiation crack growth life.

Roads are vital for the transport of the goods and passengers. So roads should be durable and strong. The roads should be worthy for its construction cost. And also it should be suitable for all the weather condition prevailed in India. But the grade of bitumen produced in India without admixtures are not durable and strong. The next problem we are facing the waste management. By analysing these two issues, we discussed the addition of waste materials as an additive for improving the bitumen quality and strength. The major grade of bitumen used in India is 60/70. So we choose the same grade of bitumen for proceeding our project. We are using poly propylene, rice husk ash and the combination of glass powder and crumb rubber. These additives are added in different proportion and check the durability, penetration, stability, ductility, flow value. The aggregates and filler are taken as per the IRC recommendation. So by this experimental study we are scoping not only to improve the quality of Dense Bitumen Macadam (DBM) but also help in waste management.

Investigation of Tribological Characteristics of ZA 27 Alloy Under Various Lubrication Conditions

S. Udhaya Kumar, S. Sekar, S. Suresh Kumar, G. Velmurugan · March 2018 · pp. 72-76

In the current engineering scenario, brass and copper alloys are important class of materials suitable for journal bearing applications. Owing to the environmental laws and the increase in cost of copper, it is found necessary to replace the copper based materials with alternate materials. Through the literature review it is found that ZA 27 is a suitable alternative. The wear rate has been reported to be very less when compared with copper based materials and it has been found to posses higher tensile strength, lower specific weight and easy machinability characteristics. Moreover, it has been established that the working life is four to five times longer than that of phosphor bronze. Nano lubricants are recently being used in order to improve further the tribological characteristics of bearings. A nano lubricant is a new kind of engineering lubricant made of nanoparticles, dispersant and base lubricant. Thus a lubricant with both the combined properties of both the liquid and solid can be obtained. The concept behind the use of nano lubricant is that the liquid lubricant provides damping and low friction, and the nano particle acting as a solid provides load supporting strength. In this paper, the tribological characteristics of ZA 27 alloy is proposed to be studied under dry condition, lubricated condition and when lubricated with nano lubricant. Sliding wear tests are to be performed using a pin-on-disc apparatus under various conditions of load and sliding speed.

Kowsalya.J, Raji.C, C.Gokul Prasad · March 2018 · pp. 86-89

Leaf spots are round blemishes found on the leaves of many species of plants, mostly caused by parasitic fungi or bacteria. A typical spot is “zona”, meaning it has a definite edge and often has a darker border. When lots of spots are present, they can grow together and become blight or a blotch. Fungal spots are usually round or free-form in shape. In most cases, leaf spots are considered to be only a cosmetic problem, but they can have economic effects on nurseries or in floriculture. Recognition of plant leaf diseases along some automatic methods is useful as it decrease a huge effort of observing in large farms, and at initial phase itself it identify the signs of diseases. Plant leaf disease detection and identification includes the stages like image acquisition, image pre-processing, Image segmentation, feature extraction and classification.

Komal Kale, Abijeet Meshram, Rajjat Sathawane, Sneha Jethani · March 2018 · pp. 90-93

In our project we use electrical power theft detection system used to detect an unauthorized tapping on distribution lines. Implementation area of this system is a distribution network of electrical power supply system. Existing system is not able to identify the tapping. This system actually finds out which consumer make tapping before the meter and use electricity without pay. This present the model of STATCOM which controllers the rotor angle deviation, voltage stability, transient stability for the improvement of power system stability. The development of the Morden power system has led to increase the complexity in the study of power system and also present new challenges to power system. The stability plays an important role to ensure the stable operation of power system in the occurrence of large disturbances and faults. The role of STATCOM will be mitigate the voltage problem like voltage sag, voltage swell which are generally occurs in power system during high voltage and low voltage condition. A power system network is considered which is simulated in phase simulation method and the network is simulated in 3 steps i.e. with and without STATCOM and with PSS. When the load increases suddenly the system has been disturbed so for greater performance STATCOM will be used

A Review on Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor

Satish Nayak, Prabhakara, Raina Benita Lobo, Varshitha C R, D V Manjunatha · March 2018 · pp. 94-102

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology can be applied to create highly sensitive biosensors due to its extreme sensitivity to surface perturbation. The velocity of an acoustic wave depends upon the mass, density and stiffness of the piezoelectric substrate. The binding of antigens with antibodies, when immobilized in the path of the traveling wave, changes the mass of the biolayer. The mass loading effect perturbs the surface boundary which changes the velocity of the wave and consequently shifts the frequency of the traveling SAW. With a pair of transmitting and receiving Inter-Digitated Transducers (IDT), high frequency SAWs can be generated through radio frequency interrogation at the free surface of piezoelectric material. In the future, bio-molecule immobilization and optimization of the sensors are necessary to develop fully functional devices.

Dr. Ranju Mohan, Pourush Tyagi, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Rajan · March 2018 · pp. 130-134

Translucent concrete is an integral part of transparent architecture and is an active research area in these days. The light transmitting media used are plastic or glass optical fibres, or epoxy resin. This media must run through the thickness of the wall so that as light strikes outer face of wall, inner face gets illuminated. This paper shows the construction of light transmitting concrete using plastic optical fibre (POF) and epoxy resin, and compares the parameters of light transmitting concrete with that of conventional concrete. Average 28 day compressive strength of conventional concrete block is found to be 24.22 kN/mm2. When using 1 to 4% of plastic optical fibre, the compressive strengths are found to be varying from 25.26 kN/mm2 to 22.82kN/mm2 with light transmitting ability varying from 40 lux to 122 lux. In case of epoxy resin block, translucency test was conducted both under laboratory and on field. For 0.5% and 1.8% epoxy used, light transmissivity under laboratory condition are found to be 320 lux and 880 lux respectively. On the other hand, light transmissivity in the field, under sun, for 0.5% and 1.8% epoxy used, are found to be 880 lux and 1396 lux respectively. The paper shows that the light transparent ability of these blocks can be utilized in the green building concept, where aim is to reduce negative environmental impact. Also, the substantial increase in the illuminance of translucent concrete, when using epoxy resin, is a promising result towards its use in interior design with demand for good visual acuity.

In today’s world, the problem faced by the Tamil fishermen for the past 10 years is difficulty in identifying our country’s border. The boundary between Sri Lanka and India includes arcs of Gulf of Mannar, Bay of Bengal and Palk Strait. The existing system’s developed for the maritime boundary identification can assist the fishermen and the coastal guards by means of Global positioning system (GPS), Global system of mobile communication (GSM) and also by Zigbee transmitter and receiver. This system fails to notify the message at the mid of the sea when the satellite communication is amputated. To overcome this disadvantage of missed messages here we have designed a device using embedded system by GPS device and Wi-Fi sensor in addition to this a temperature and humidity sensors are used to know the current weather report in case of endangered situation. The GPS receiver gives the current location of the boat. The microcontroller compares the current location with the predefined values unless until the border is reached. Once, the border is reached, it makes an alarm, display and sends a message to the coastal guards through Wi-Fi sensor using Internet of Things. By means of this, the fishermen will get help in all aspects and the information will be known to both fishermen and the coastal guards, this leads to easy rescue.

Prof. Jyoti Goudar, Prof. A H Birasal · March 2018 · pp. 211-223

In computing, floating point describes a method of representing an approximation of a real number in a way that can support a wide range of values. Low power consumption and smaller area are some of the most important criteria for the fabrication of DSP systems and high performance systems. Optimizing the speed and area of the multiplier is a major design issue. This can be achieved using Wallace and Dadda algorithm of an IEEE 754 single precision floating point multiplier. Improvement in speed multiplication of Dadda and Wallace multiplier is done using carry look ahead adder. Multiplier based on Wallace and dada algorithms provides an area efficient and high speed multiplication. The focus of this project is delay comparison of floating point multiplier using Wallace tree and Dadda tree algorithms. The Dadda tree multiplier is faster than Wallace tree multiplier.

Sustaining available resources is the most important issue faced globally. Increase in the population, urbanization and shortage of water due to less rainfall makes it difficult to provide fair distribution of water resource in real time. To solve this problem, we need an efficient system that provides better monitoring and controlling the consumption of water. Idea of IoT is used for uninterrupted monitoring and tracking of water consumption using Wi-Fi/LAN. Server collects readings of sensors showing the usage of water at every outlet through Wi-Fi/LAN. Users can continuously track the water usage in mobile application. The application can retrieve data stored in cloud and display it to users in a better format. Same application can be used to notify users if their water consumption exceeds a predefined range. This automation can help users to efficiently monitor the usage and keep track of the bills. Unknown leakage in distribution pipe is a major issue that adds up to wastage of water. Wireless Sensor Network Consisting of Water flow sensors can be used for leakage detection in pipes. Proposed system aims at notifying respective authorities whenever the leakage is detected so that immediate actions can be taken.
