DYNAMIC RESPONSE TO MOVING CONCENTRATED LOADS OF NON-UNIFORM SIMPLY SUPPORTED PRE-STRESSED BERNOULLI-EULER BEAM RESTING ON BI-PARAMETRIC SUBGRADES[ ]


This paper investigates the dynamics response to non-uniform simply supported prestressed Bernoulli-Euler beam resting on bi-parametric subgrades, in particular, Pasternak subgrades and traversed by concentrated moving loads. The solution technique is base on the Galerkin Method and a modification of the Struble’s technique. The deflection of the prestressed beam is calculated for several values of foundation modulus K, shear modulus G and axial force N and shown graphically. It is found that as the foundation modulus increases with fixed values of shear modulus and axial force, the displacement response of the beam decreases. Also, as the shear modulus increases with fixed values of axial force and foundation modulus, results show that the deflection of the beam model decreases. Finally, the response amplitudes of the beam model decreases with increases in the values of axial force for fixed values of shear modulus and foundation modulus . It was also observed that higher values of shear modulus is required for a more noticeable effect than that of the foundation modulus . Further more, the moving force solution is not an upper bound for an accurate solution of the moving mass problem.

Qualitative control on welding forging and qualitative study on work pieces undergone welding forging[ ]


Nowadays, using efficient and effective methods and minimizing the costs in construction operations are of vital importance. All researchers in engineering fields have been trying to introduce some approaches addressing more efficient pathways. In addition, structural engineers have mostly involved with processes by which the respective goals are achievable shortly and efficiently. Using welding forging is widely considered as one the most promising approaches to mitigate the costs of structures. The most distinctive feature of welding forging is that compared to other mentioned methods it diminishes significantly the different wastes arisen from reinforcement occurred during construction, leading to minimizing the costs imposed by reinforcement operations. In this work, some features of this welding method were investigated. In addition, we addressed that whether this method is capable to enhance the standard resistance against earthquake or not.

Genesis of Payment Banks: It’s Stimulus on the financial inclusion in India[ ]


India is facing challenges of achieving financial inclusion with 1.25 Billion of population where 64% of population is still unbaked or do not use any formal financial services where large number of people belong from rural India. To study aspect of financial inclusion in India Nachiket Mor Committee is established in 2013. The Committee has proposed to set up of Payments Banks whose primary objective is to provide small savings accounts, payments and remittance services to a migrant labour workforce, low income households, small businesses, and based on recommendation RBI grants “in-principle” approval to 11 Applicants for Payments Banks to provide financial inclusion based on banking penetration, deposited penetration, infrastructure, popularity, technology and past experience which includes organization from different domain like telecom service provider(TSPs), mobile wallet, banking services, consumer goods, postal offices, business correspondence. Our paper reviews the parameter for financial inclusion and business model of existing system and payment bank and issues faced by traditional banking system includes Business correspondent (BC), ATM, mobile banking, Basic Saving Bank Deposit and pre-paid instrument (PPI) which can be overcome using payment bank. It also includes analysis and study of 11 Applicants for Payments Banks received in-principle and capability to penetrate rural India to provide financial inclusion. Payment banks are a good way of reaching the masses for the even the smallest of payment at the odd hours, which defiantly makes the payment systems viable for the masses. Also as Indian system is that the masses majorly deal in cash and this system becomes the pseudo cash handling system and so it is this that digitally captures even the smallest transactions.

Automatic determination of LAHSO surface paint pattern orientation in Airport Mapping Database (AMDB)[ ]


The goal of this research is to provide a generic method to derive correct Land And Holdshort Operation (LAHSO) orientation information from the GIS data of the aerodrome features based on geo-spatial layout, for usage in any 3D Airport Moving Map (AMM) display application. AMM helps orient the flight crew to the aircraft's positional information on the ground with respect to runways, taxiways, and airport structures, without paper chart reference. It is primarily intended to improve operator’s safety and operational efficiency margins through improved positional awareness and reduced flight crew workload. AMM uses Airport Mapping Databases (AMDB) to create the airport layouts. AMDBs represent a collection of aerodrome information that is organized and arranged for ease of electronic storage and retrieval in systems that support aerodrome surface movements. These databases consist of vectors and attributes e.g. runway thresholds, hold lines, and aircraft stand locations etc. AMDBs also contain positional information describing the location of aerodrome information elements. The LAHSO lines, one of hold line types are part of AMDBs that indicate the locations of markings used for Land and Hold Short Operations. AMM uses LAHSO information from AMDB and displays the real world four lines (two solid and two broken) markings at the required location in the right orientation.

Development of an Algorithm for Biometric System Using Finger Vein with Liveness Detection[ ]


The biometric system we are offering is an advanced system with less searching. The system would be very efficient as it can also detect the presence of authorized person. In our system we used finger vein as feature instead of finger printing. In this context the finger vein images are obtained from near infrared based or thermal infrared based optical imaging. As previous experiments showed us that finger vein pattern of different individuals are unique, so our objective was to give this technique more efficiency and less searching cost. For that we tried a new technique in recognizing individual’s finger vein pattern. From Ajay Kumar and Yingbu Zhou’s Human Identification Using Finger Images- we find the finger vein pattern of individual. From that image we will produce a new algorithm for determining authorized individual or fake. In our searching technique we used optimal technique instead of block by block searching.

Artificial Neural Network Approach to Dissolved Gas Analysis for Interpretation of Fault in Power Transformer[ ]


Power transformer is most crucial equipment in the power system. Monitoring the behavior of transformer is necessary to avoid catastrophic failures, costly outages. Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) is a widely used technique to estimate the condition of oil-immersed transformers. The change of combustible gases in the insulating oil is a trustworthy diagnostic tool which can be used as indicator of undesirable events occurring inside the transformer. The main drawback of the ratio methods is that they fail to cover all ranges of data. To improve the diagnosis accuracy of the conventional dissolved gas analysis (DGA) an Artificial Neural Network is applied to conventional Rogers Ratio Method. The selected ANN approach to DGA design yields a very satisfactory result where it can make a reliable classification of transformer condition with respect to combustible gas generated.

Improving the Life Quality of the Metal Casting Industry Employees through Participatory Ergonomics and 5R-based Cleaner Production Strategies[ ]


Waste dust in the metal casting industry is an issue which so far has not been completely resolved as it is generated during the cooling process of the liquid metal from a temperature of 10000C into room temperature, thus the molds made of quartz sand and other materials during this liquid steel cooling process will also turn very dry even some changes into fly ash. Such an environmental condition certainly affects the physical environmental conditions of employees and reduces health and stamina as well as work performance indicated by lower motivation and productivity of work, resulting in not optimum achievement of a company’ predetermined target. Employees cannot enjoy their job and the results obtained which eventually causes the life quality of the company’s internal and external employees to be very low. A research approach which does not focus only on processes and products, but which also considers humans as the primary factor in performance improvements and humanizes people through the principle of participatory ergonomics is necessary. Humans are regarded as a company’s assets and therefore they should become the major concern, fitting the job to the man before fitting the man to the job.

Influence of friction stir processing rotational speed on microstructure and mechanical properties of AA2024 nanocomposite[ ]


Compocasting technique was used to produce AA2024 / Al2O3 nano composite materials. Aiming to evaluate the effect of friction stir processing (FSP) rotational speed on nanoparticles distribution and mechanical properties of the composite, AA2024/Al2O3 plates were subjected to friction stir processing at different rotation speeds of 400, 600, 800 and 1000 rpm. For comparison, plates of AA2024 were similarly produced. Light Optical Microscopy (LOM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to examine casted and the friction stir processed (FSPed) materals. Tensile and hardness testing were carried out for both materials. A non-uniform distribution and particle clustering of Al2O3 particulates were observed in composite. Some porosity and voids due to casting process were also detected. The use of FSP greatly enhanced the distribution of the nano Al2O3 particles and significantly refined the grain structure of the AA2024 matrix. As a result, the ultimate strength of the FSPed material increased to about four times (from 72 MPa for the as cast to 316 MPa after FSP) and the hardness almost doubled (from 93 Hv for the as cast to about 155 Hv after FSP).
