Mouthguards (MG) are used to reduce injuries during contact sports. Thickness of MG material is directly related to amount of energy absorption ability and hence reduction in energy transfer to skull. Many studies had shown that Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) is best suited material for MG. Studies had been conducted on EVA material to find optimum thickness. As the thickness of Material increases its Impact absorption ability is also increasing. Beyond 4 mm thickness its rate of energy absorption reduces very much, Also beyond 4 mm it is not comfortable for the wearer. Studies were also conducted on the inclusion of air cells in EVA material and showed that its absorption ability increases significantly. But a detailed study using different materials, designs with different combinations were not conducted. So there is a need to conduct studies on it.

Studies on Mouthguard Material Thickness for Minimum Energy transfer to Skull -A Review

Wearing has a direct influence on the efficiency, finishing and quality of products. Therefore, this is a critical point, when considered the aspects of tool components recovery, occurrences of tool fractures and undesirable production line stops. Moreover, the industry production growing speeds push the search for a higher efficiency level of manufacturing. One of the main causes of wearing is the friction between contact surfaces by relative sliding in general, with some exceptions as for braking, the wear coefficient and pressure must be as low as possible to reduce wearing. The aim of this paper is to find wear behaviour of bare SAE 4140 steel material. This work involves Chemical Composition testing of substrate steel material to get the exact composition of SAE 4140 steel and it is used for wear as well as fatigue testing. This paperwork also involves wear test on Pin-on-Disc set up. The study uses ANSYS WORKBENCH-12 software to derive the finite element model of the standard specimen. Based on this model, Von-misses stresses &amp; displacements are found.

Tribological Analysis of SAE 4140 Steel

With increasing emphasis on renewable sources of energy, wind energy has turned into a major form of energy. Wind turbines are used worldwide to harness the wind energy. Conventional wind turbines have limitations due to their rigid structures. Morphing can be used as a technique to improve the performance of the wind turbine. The paper involves the aerodynamic analysis of the morphing wind turbine blade. Morphing enables the turbine blades to adapt with varying wind velocity. Here we are considering only the effects of morphed trailing edge of the wind turbine blade. The aerodynamic efficiency and the power output vary for various morphing angles of the turbine blade.

Aerodynamic Analysis of Morphing Blade for Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

It is well known that a appropriately designed Exhaust manifold is important for the optimal performance of an IC engine. Though, the intake system is dominant on the cylinder filling process, the exhaust manifold has ability to influence the gas exchange process in various important aspects, like the piston work done during the exhaust stroke, the short-circuit of fresh charge from the intake into the exhaust. We know that if the back pressure of Exhaust gases is higher, it reduces efficiency of the engine. So aim should be to reduce the back pressure of the engine. Also amount of pressure drop is equal to back pressure. So ultimate goal is to reduce its pressure drop by changing its geometry, reducing friction in the manifold. In this paper only Geometry optimization is done. This paper presents 3-D simulation of Exhaust manifold of 4 cylinder, 4 Stroke, turbocharged diesel engine(4G11 Greaves Engine) of generator by using ANSYS-CFX code and results are discussed. A Steady state CFD simulations have been accomplished and experimental results are compared for validation. The CFD results gives an idea for changing its geometry.

Present work aimed at developing, testing and operating a prototype free end torsion machine for performing torsion tests and checking linear strain in test specimens. The self developed free end torsion machine was used to measure and compute numerical prediction of the Swift effect, i.e. the lengthening of the cylinder during the torsion. The equipment consists of a horizontal torsion machine composed of worm gear, spur gear, bearings, hand wheel, shaft, base plate, column, measuring instruments, chuck mechanism and test specimen. An encoder obtains the torsion angle. Experimental tests were carried out at a constant angular speed that imposed a constant shear strain rate to the test specimen. The torsion tests have been performed on ductile materials -copper and aluminium. The influence of texture evolution was analyzed. Predicted axial lengthening and predicted textures were compared to experimental measurements. A good agreement was obtained between the obtained results.

Special Issue-3, (April 2014) Abstract A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the pressure of a fluid. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radially outward into a diffuser or volute chamber (casing), from where it exits into the downstream piping. Computational fluid dynamics deals with fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. However, since experiments are limited by the facilities and the costs, computational fluid dynamics is also used to complement the experiments. The lead times and costs of new designs may then be substantial reduced. To use the computational fluid dynamics the various tools are available among them few are commercial and few are open source. For commercial tools one has to pay a lot while for open source tool it is free ware. In this project work the analysis of centrifugal pump in commercial tool i.e. ANSYS and in open source i.e. Open FOAM is carried out. Numerical solutions of the rotor-stator interaction of Centrifugal Pump using ANSYS CFX and OpenFOAM-1.5-dev were investigated.
