Authors: Parthiban M , Harinath M 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In modern manufacturing industries, micro machining technology is widely used to machine micro parts for various applications such as in MEMS, die and tool industries, etc. Micro electric discharge machining (Micro-EDM) is widely used in die and tool making. This paper investigates three different input machining parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, and servo voltage of micro electric discharge machining performances of tool wear (TW) and Diametrical accuracy (DA) of a hole on titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) using copper micro electrodes of ϕ 400μm. The experiments ate conducted out with the Box-Behnken design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The neural network is used for the optimization of multi response by fitting the regression model. ANOVA is also performed to find the significant contribution of the machining parameter. The predicted optimal machining values with the maximum error of 12.72% for tool wear and 8.78% for diametrical accuracy was achieved on comparing with experimental results.

Authors: Ganesh N , Rambabu S 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In this article, design and finite element simulation of porous Ti-6Al-4V alloy structures was presented. Typically, titanium and titanium alloy implants can be manufactured with required pore size and porosity volume by using powder bed fusion techniques due to advancement in additive manufacturing technologies. However, the mismatch of elastic modulus between human cortical bone and the dense Ti-6Al-4V alloy implant resulted in stress shielding which accelerate the implant failure. The porous implant structures help in reduce the mismatch of elastic modulus between the cortical bone and implant structure and also improve the bone ingrowth. Hence, the present work focuses on design of Ti-6Al-4V alloy porous structures with various porosities ranging from 10% to 70% and simulated to determine the elastic modulus suitable for human cortical bone. The sample with 45% porosity is found to be best suited for replacement of cortical bone with elastic modulus of 74Gpa, preventing stress shielding effect and enhanced chances of bone ingrowth.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The present paper reports the results of the experimental study performed to investigate the behaviour of two different types of joints (destroyed and welded ones) in the model of the steel structure under seismic excitations. The structure was subjected to three earthquakes, namely Kobe, Loma Prieta and Northridge, using the shaking table investigation. The results obtained from the study indicate that there is a significant difference between the behaviour of destroyed joints and welded ones. It was concluded that the destroyed joints experience higher acceleration than the welded joints during different earthquakes.

Abstract
Convective and overall heat transfer coefficients of SiO2 nanofluid flowing in a concentric DTHE are determined experimentally. The tests are carried out in the 800<Re<1900 range using SiO2/22nm nanofluids prepared in 0.2, 0.6 and 1.0% volume concentrations in 30:70 ratio glycerol-water mixture base liquid. The thermal and physical properties of silica nanofluids are determined in the range of 20-80°C. Viscosity, thermal conductivity, and density of nanofluids increased with particle concentration whereas specific heat decreased. Thermal conductivity and specific heat of nanofluids increased with temperature while viscosity and density decreased. Heat transfer experiments are conducted using nanofluids at a bulk temperature of 35°C in a laminar developing flow region. Overall heat transfer coefficient and convective HTC of 1.0% silica nanofluids are increased by 21.2 and 36.3% compared to base liquid.

Abstract
The production of sugarcane bagasse ash (SBA), glass fiber (GF) and ceramic dust (CD) in developing countries at very large scale usually poses a severe disposal problem. The purpose of this research is to determine whether these three waste products are suitable for improving the engineering characteristics of expanding soil. The study has been carried out by varying the content of SBA (0-20%), CD (0-20%) and GF (0-4%) in black cotton soil. Optimization was carried out to find out the composition of the ideal quaternary blend. The use of these materials was found to decrease the maximum dry density and swelling of soil with increase in optimum moisture content. In addition, the liquid limit was found to decline with increment in CBR and unconfined compressive strength. The study confirms the use of these waste materials as soil stabilizers in addition to provide a solution for waste reuse.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Lead-free ceramic powder of a morphotropic phase boundary composition Ba0.06(Na0.5Bi0.5)0.94TiO3 (BNBT) was prepared from a solid-state synthesis route. The cement-ceramic (1−ϕ)cement/ϕBNBT; 0 ≤ ϕ 1.0 composites were fabricated. The filler concentration-dependent values of the bulk density and real part of complex permittivity showed an increasing trend of variation while the apparent porosity and imaginary part of complex permittivity followed a decreasing trend. In order to test the acceptability of dielectric mixture equations of the inclusion material in the mixture, five such equations have been chosen. The Bruggeman, and Rother-Lichtenecker equations showed their coherence with minimal deviation from the experimental results of the real part of complex permittivity for the entire measurement range of volume fractions. Also, a first-order exponential growth/decay type of mathematical model was suggested which could fit the experimental data excellently well (r2 > 0.97).
Lifecycle assessment of alkali activated cement concrete
Authors: Viswanath Angitha K , Anand K B 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Climate change is one of the most important environmental problems that our planet Earth is facing. This is due to the increased emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. Concrete, the most consumed material in the construction industry is reported to be responsible for about 8% of worldwide carbon dioxide emissions. The manufacturing of ordinary Portland cement is both resource and energy-intensive and is accountable for 1.35 billion tons of carbon dioxide emitted annually. Hence potential alternative to Portland cement widely recognized is the adoption of alkali-activated cement. Alkali-activated cement commonly utilizes industrial by-products such as fly ash, GGBS, etc. along with alkali activators such as sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide. The literature review indicates that the environmental impact due to the usage of Portland cement can be reduced by the adoption of alkali-activated cement. However, the manufacture of alkali activators is likely to contribute to the emission to the environment. In addition, the heat curing commonly adopted during the production of concrete to activate the alkalis might also have a bearing. Hence a comparative study using the lifecycle assessment (LCA) method is carried out to assess the impact due to the production of alkali-activated cement concrete using supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) fly ash and GGBS with varying proportions of alkali activators (sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide). Data is extracted from the published literature corresponding to two different compressive strength ranges of OPC concrete and alkali-activated cement concretes that have utilized four varying proportions of alkali activator ratios. It is then analyzed by the ‘cradle to gate’ approach using LCA software SimaPro. The impact assessment is done using the ReCiPe 2016 method. A comparison of results and their interpretation is done based on its compressive strength ranges, the alkali activator ratios, and the effect due to change in the SCMs utilized.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Porous concrete is an amalgamation of coarse aggregate, Portland cement, and water, which permits rainfall water to permeate through the surface and into the ground before it runs off. Porous concrete encompasses little or no fine aggregates and adequate cementitious fixative to coat the coarse aggregate while keeping the voids interconnected. IRC 44-2017 states that range of permeability for pervious concrete should be from 0.135 cm/second to 1.22 cm/second and array of compressive strength should be 5MPa - 25MPa. In this experimental study, two properties of no fine concrete namely compressive strength and porousness at the curing age of 7th & 28rd days has been targeted. Compressive strength and Infiltration tests were conducted on the pervious concrete of grade M10 and M15 by keeping variation of fine aggregates of 0% - 5%. We observed that fines aggregate help to rise the compressive strength of porous concrete but decrease the permeability. Thus, by careful optimization of the mix, pervious concrete can be obtained for suitable use in low strength load.

Abstract
An electric motor, a battery and an inverter are the key components of any hybrid vehicle. The most commonly used switching device in the electric power conversion system is Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules. Heat sinks with their fins are optimized to provide the maximum heat flow to the surrounding and Pure copper is used as it has high thermal conductivity with reasonable heat resistance. This helps to decrease the temperature of the IGBT and heat will spread to the fins. Parallel forced air cooling is utilised to give maximum possible heat removal rate. Further experimentation was done on a IGBT using an Inverter circuit and it was analyzed on ANSYS software and it was observed that the results obtained by numerical method and experimental method are approximately same.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Heavy metal contaminations such as mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc are becoming more serious and have become a hazard to human health. Due to their non-biodegradable nature, they can easily accumulate in the environment and cause toxicity even at low concentrations. Therefore, detecting the presence of these metal ions requires a highly sensitive sensing method. Traditional detection methods, such as electrochemical analysis, require complicated sample preparation, are costly, and typically require a lengthy measurement period. These days, optical fiber sensors have been acknowledged due to their unique characteristics such as compact size, high sensitivity, low cost, high flexibility, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. An overview of an optical fiber sensor technology for heavy chemical measurement is discussed in this paper. The sensing mechanisms are summarized, as well as the chemical water quality parameters and sensitivities.

Abstract
This paper presents the design of multiwavelength Erbium Doped Fiber (EDF)-Raman fiber laser utilizing Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) with various cavity structures. A multiwavelength laser employing hybrid gain medium of EDF-Raman amplifier is simulated using OptiSystem software. Three cavity structures of multiwavelength laser such as unidirectional, bidirectional and ring cavity are simulated and analysed. From the simulation result, it is found that ring cavity structure produced the best performance whereas at 1000 mW pump power, up to 19 lasing lines were obtained in the ring cavity, compared to 18, and 16 lasing lines in the unidirectional and bidirectional linear cavity, respectively. All multiwavelength fiber lasers exhibit the same line spacing of 4.9 nm. In addition, at coupling coefficient of 0.9, up to 49.5 dB of side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) were achieved in the ring cavity structure, compared to 49.2 dB, and 30.3 dB of SMSR in the unidirectional and bidirectional linear cavity, respectively. However, bidirectional linear cavity exhibits the highest peak power of 2.07 dBm, compared to -17.4 dBm, and -15.5 dBm of peak power in the unidirectional linear and ring cavity, respectively.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
With the develofpment of UWB electromagnetic pulse radiation systems, people are paying more and more attention to its serious threat to electronic equipment. The effect of UWB electromagnetic pulse has also become an important content in the field of electromagnetic compatibility. In an UWB radiation system, the distance between the device under test and the transmitting antenna is different, and the radiation field received is also different. Therefore, in actual tests, the test body is often placed at different distances from the antenna to perform multiple measurements to obtain test data as required. Based on this, this article takes the cavity as an example, and proposes a method of using the system transfer function to predict the response of the impulse field inside the cavity to simplify the test and quickly obtain the test data. Firstly, the impulse field response of a certain point with and without a cavity is measured respectively, and then the time domain response is inversely Fourier transformed to obtain the frequency domain transfer function of the test body. Finally, using the transfer function to convolute with the field to be measured, the response of the impulse field inside the cavity can be predicted under the condition of the field to be measured. It is verified by experiments that this method can better predict the response of the impulse field inside the cavity under different distance conditions, and has the characteristics of simple calculation and good prediction effect. At the same time, the transfer function obtained by this method can be used to predict the arbitrary impulse field response of the cavity in its frequency range.

Abstract
Without using any templates, a ternary MoS2/graphene/carbon nanotubes (MoS2/GN/CNT) aerogel compostie is prepared by convenient hydrothermal synthesis method. The free-standing MoS2/GN/CNT aerogel can be cut directly as binder free electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. The MoS2/GN/CNT electrodes can hold as high as 695 and 579 mAh g−1 discharge capacities after 200 cycles at 200 mA g−1 in MoS2/GN/CNT//Li half cells and MoS2/GN/CNT//LiCoO2 full-cells, respectively. The strengthened electrochemical properities are owed by the thin GN/CNT layers and their jagged and wrinkled surfaces, which can enhance the composite conductivity and shorten the Li+ diffusion distance, as well as buffer the volume change of electrodes druing the charge-discharge cycles.
