Paper Title:

Wear Behavior of Coconut Fiber Reinforced Polyamide Matrix Composites

Abstract:  Nowadays, the polymer matrix fiber reinforced composites have greater attention of many important manufacturing sectors particularly construction, automotive and packaging industries due to its low density, good mechanical and better tribological properties. Recently, the coconut fiber reinforced composites have replaced the most widely used synthetic fiber (Glass, Kevlar) reinforced polymer composites in many applications. In the present study, the polymer matrix composites were prepared and developed through hand layup process with treated short coconut fiber. Composite specimens were prepared according to the ASTM Standard G-99 and the wear tests were conducted on the Pin-On-Disk wear testing machine. The experiments were carried out according to the central composite second order rotatable design. Optimization has been carried out using Response surface methodology (RSM). The morphology of worn surfaces was examined through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and various wear mechanisms were discussed.

Keywords: Friction coefficient, Wear Rate, Polyamide, Coconut fiber, Pin On Disc.

Paper Title:

Design of Frequency Reconfigurable Microstrip Patch Antenna for Wireless Applications

Abstract: Modern telecommunication systems require miniature antennas with multiband characteristics that support multiple wireless applications. This paper presents a pentagon shaped microstrip patch antenna that works at 7.5GHz with a return loss of -43.48dB. The antenna has been designed on 1.59 mm FR-4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.4 and loss tangent of 0.02. The pentagon shaped microstrip patch antenna has been modified into a dual band and a triple band antenna by applying fractal shape and frequency reconfiguring the antenna geometry. Proposed antenna finds applications for defense and secure communication, C band (4 GHz to 8 GHz) and X band (8 GHz to 12 GHz) applications where antenna can be used for satellite communication and RADAR applications. Proposed antenna has been designed using IE3D and results are analyzed in terms of gain, return loss, directivity and bandwidth.

Paper Title:

Application of Neuro Fuzzy-Rule Based Classifier in Thyroid Disease Diagnosis

Abstract:  Thyroid diseases are rising at an alarming rate worldwide across several age groups. Current practice for thyroid disease diagnosis is doctor’s examination and a number of blood tests which requires lots of experience and knowledge. Because of the difficulty in considering large number of interrelated measurements and non-specific nature of symptoms of a disease, experts often have imprecise knowledge which causes uncertainty in diagnosis procedure. Thyroid disease detection via proper interpretation of the thyroid data is an important classification problem. The main objective of this project is to design an intelligent system that can diagnose the thyroid diseases with minimum diagnosis time and enhanced diagnosis accuracy.

Experimental Study on Low Density Brick (Cenosphere Bricks)

Abstract: A flyash bricks can be extensively used in all types of building construction activities. Our project was based on low density brick, using cenosphere material. The cenosphere bricks may be comparatively lighter in weight and stronger than common flyash bricks. Since cenosphere is being accumulated as waste material in large quantity in thermal power plants and creating serious environmental pollution problems. Flyash is replacing to cenosphere of flyash bricks  with proportion  as using specimen size 230mm x 100mm x 75mm were cast for  mix percentage of cenosphere(60%), OPC(10%) and Quarry dust (30%). The results shows the variation of compressive strength and water absorption for mix proportions of materials mentioned earlier at curing ages. Then we may consider the specimen size 230mm x 100mm x 100mm to casting the bricks of different mix proportions to the percentage of cenosphere (15 to 50%), OPC (5 to 35%) and Quarry dust (20 to 55%).We had tested various specimen as per proportion considered for casting. After this, we compared the weight, compressive strength and water absorption of cenosphere with different proportion of flyash bricks.

Paper Title:

Bone Fracture Detection using X-ray Images

Abstract: Diagnosing minute fractures in the cases of pelvis bone injuries is critical for speedy and successful patient treatment. Minute fracture detection using x-ray images can be challenging and time consuming to examine due to their low resolution and dissimilar visual characteristics of fractures by their position. The pelvis bone is most dense due to which visual detection of the fracture is very difficult. This paper presents a fracture detection technique for the pelvis bone as well as pubic ring using Distance Regularized Level Set Evolution (DRLSE) technique for segmentation and detection of fracture using Canny Edge detector and gradient technique. Also inspection of displacement of the pelvic bone is done using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). Results so far have been encouraging and will be helpful in guiding the physicians and for better treatment of the patients.

Keywords: Biomedical image processing, Distance regularized level set evolution, Image processing, Pelvis bone fracture.

Paper Title:

Image Restoration based on Blur Identification 

Abstract: It is challenging to take satisfactory photographs in poorly-lit environment using a hand-held camera. With the long exposure time, the image is blurred due to camera shake. Whereas, with short exposure time, the image is dark and noisy. In this project paper we will present a method to improve the quality of given pictures. In particular blind deconvolution will be applied to deblur the images. Blind deconvolution is an indistinct problem and needs to be solved using regularization techniques. The steps involved are: first, an image blur identification index is calculated to evaluate the sharpness of the image. The said index is used in determining whether the following procedure needs to be performed or not. Second, a normalized sparse regularization blind deconvolution technique is used to recover the image. And lastly, we check for quality using various quality assessment algorithms to evaluate the result of recovered image. Experiment result show that the proposed blur identification algorithm and the quality assessment methods are effective in upgrading the efficiency of recovering the image while guarantying a true output.

Design and Fabrication of 0.5mm KLICK Pencil Assembly Machine

Abstract: This work aims at design and development of Special Purpose Mechanism for assembly of 0.5mm klick lead pencil for KOKUYO CAMLIN LTD. The important assembly stations consists of feeding the lead on the assembled pencil with barrel and chuck with the help of special fixture and pneumatic circuit followed by mounting cylindrical eraser over the pencil barrel and at last pencil cap for feeding the lead forward during working. All the three operations are simultaneously carried out over the turn table which rotates in forward step and dwell period with use of special Geneva Mechanism. The design of jigs, fixtures and pneumatic circuits will be done on Solid Works and simulated using ANSYS if necessary. The designed component will be then manufactured and fabricated at KOKUYO CAMLIN CAMPUS at Vasai Road and will be tested for the product. The results expected will be less assembly time and faster work production which saves human errors, electricity and time of production.

Paper Title:

Experimental Project on Concrete - Partial Replacement of Cement by Prosopis Juliflora Ash

Abstract: In order to save the environment and to save the resources we have come up with using the Prosopis juliflora (Semai Karuvelam in Tamil) ash as the partial replacement of cement. Cement will produce equal amount of greenhouse gas (co2) which increase the global warming. As the amount of cement is reduced greenhouse gases also reduced. Utilization of Juliflora ash as a partial substitution for cement is one of the promising method to increase the strength and thermal insulation for cement blocks. The strength parameters (compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength) of concrete with blended Prosopis juliflora cement are evaluated.

Keywords: Environment, Prosopis Juliflora, Partial Replacement of Cement, Strength Parameter
