In India, the core of the logistic sector is the trucking industry. The manufacturing business ensures that their product reaches the end customer quickly and thus they outsource their logistical operations to logistic service providers. More than 60% of goods are transported by road. Due to globalization and digitalization, the demand for logistics has increased. To meet the demand most truck owners are recklessly permitting overloading to increase margins, to save time by risking the consequences of in-transit issues as well as its negative impact on the infrastructure. This paper addresses one such problem that many drivers and their customers face regularly. To reduce the time required for weighing and getting instant results a payload measurement system is developed which is an external attachment to the vehicle. The results obtained by this model are quick and accurate. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Automation technology plays an increasingly major role in providing higher efficiency in almost all fields of knowledge. One of the sectors of automation is Robotics, which involves building mechanical and electronic structures that would run on computer codes. These codes with technical advancement can further be upgraded to machine learning and artificial information algorithms. Robotics has the potential to bridge the gap between the physical and the cybernetic world. The prime objective of this paper is to put forward a robot that can increase the productivity and efficiency of an operation besides minimizing the efforts, time, and labor. Alongside, the arm also ensures the safety of the operator. The paper initially discusses the basics of robots and a few significant terminologies related to them. There are diverse ways to control a robot, one of them being gesture control. The researcher proposes to build a robot that is controlled by hand gestures using the Inertial Measurement Unit sensors. Further, a discussion is also made on the mechanical design with CAD modeling, electronic systems, and code for controlling the robotic arm with sensor inputs. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Nowadays Electric vehicles (EV) develop fast in current market and have become popular due to its zero emission and high efficiency .However there are many factors to limit its performance, cost, lifetime and safety of battery. So, the management of batteries is necessary to increase its performance when operating at various conditions. The battery thermal management system (BTMS) is introduced to control the thermal behaviour of batteries. In this paper we will see about BTMS technologies such as air cooling system, liquid cooling system, direct refrigerant cooling system, phase change material (PCM) cooling system. These systems are analysed through their performance, weight, size, and cost

In this paper, study has been done on the model of the electromagnetic railgun and its working. It is an effort to study and put forth the idea of Lorentz force and its applications in a defense weapon. The railgun can be traced down to a simple model of a wire loop carrying current and its behaviour in an external magnetic field. However, implementing this concept on a practical scale has its own challenges and requirements; which are discussed in this article. The use of an electrically accelerated projectile as a means of destruction is a relatively new concept; and is yet to find its own light; however it has been demonstrated how effective it can prove to be.

Traditionally pilot’s efforts were directly applied on control surfaces like aileron, elevator and rudder bysystem of cables, cranks, pulleys, etc. However the power required for surface control in high speed, military aircraftfar exceeds the pilot’s capabilities. Hydraulically powered control surfaces help to overcome limitations of mechanicalsystem like complexity and weight of mechanical systems . In hydraulic flight control systems the aircraft’s size andperformance are limited by economics rather than a pilot’s muscular strength. Modern high speed and performancepiloted aircrafts uses electrical flight control systems (Fly-by-wire) to control the forces on control surfaces of flight.Since fly by wire system gives no feel to the pilot on control stick , an artificial feel unit is to be designed to give feelforce to the pilot. Feel unit is an important part of control stick which provides force field to pilot proportional to theloads of the control surfaces

During the finishing operation in paper industry, waste paper is engendered as the result of the trimming operation. This trimmed paper is called broke or trim and needs to be recycled. For the recycling of trim, there is a need of trim handling system and cyclone separator is of paramount importance in trim handling process. In this paper cyclone separators are reviewed and how this technology helps in efficient handling of trim. Industrial Review of cyclone from BILT, Ballarpur (largest pulp and paper manufacturer in India) is also added. This paper aims at reviewing the design and analysis of cyclone and its application in paper trim handling process.

Braking system plays a vital role in mechanical industry. Nowadays, research is in progress for development of more efficient braking systems. One of them is Eddy Current Braking System (ECBS). Principle of operation of ECBS is based on Lorentz's Force which is produced due to secondary magnetic field of induced eddy currents. In the past, most of the mathematical models of ECBS have considered uniform distribution of induced currents and ignored the Skin Effect. Recent research shows that considering the Skin Effect, significant deviation in braking torque is obtained and hence it cannot be neglected. In this paper, we have reviewed the ECBS considering the skin effect and the parameters affecting its performance.

Refrigerator and air conditioners are the most energy consuming home appliances and for this reason many researchers had performed work to enhance performance of the refrigeration systems. Most of the research work done so far deals with an objective of low energy consumption and refrigeration effect enhancement. Thermoelectric refrigeration is one of the techniques used for producing refrigeration effect. Thermoelectric devices are developed based on Peltier and Seebeck effect which has experienced a major advances and developments in recent years. The coefficient of performance of the thermoelectric refrigeration is less when it is used alone, hence thermoelectric refrigeration is often used with other methods of refrigeration. This paper presents a review of some work been done on the thermoelectric refrigeration over the years. Some of the research and development work carried out by different researchers on TER system has been thoroughly reviewed in this paper. The study envelopes the various applications of TER system and development of devices. This paper summarizes the advancement in thermoelectric refrigeration, thermoelectric materials, design methodologies, application in domestic appliances and performance enhancement techniques based on the literature.
