... To achieve a satisfactory performance, the construction of a chassis is the result of careful design and rigorous testing. Various manufacturers have individual design concepts and different methods of achieving the desired performance standards for the complete chassis, not all chassis components are interchangeable between various makes and models of vehicles. So, there is no standard design for chassis frame. Even though start with the chassis frame design start with selection of the section for side rails and cross members. In this paper we have designed a chassis for storage cum resting fixture. Storage cum resting fixture is a structure of length 11000mm & width 2300mm, used to store cylindrical specimens of various sizes and weights in horizontal configuration. The storage cum resting fixture is used to carry the propellant stored in the cylindrical specimens. The trolley fixture should be designed for a maximum pay load of 60 tons. The Objective of my project is to design a chassis for a pay load of 60 Tons. The design process involves manual design calculations, 3d modeling using UNIGRAPHICS software and analysis to validate the design. Ansys package has been implemented to perform the structural analysis. INTRODUCTION The storage cum resting fixture is used to carry the propellant stored in the cylindrical specimens. During storage, these specimens are also required to be rotated periodically. The...

...Chapter 2 Introduction to Rotor Dynamics Rotor dynamics is the branch of engineering that studies the lateral and torsional vibrations of rotating shafts, with the objective of predicting the rotor vibrations and containing the vibration level under an acceptable limit. The principal components of a rotor-dynamic system are the shaft or rotor with disk, the bearings, and the seals. The shaft or rotor is the rotating component of the system. Many industrial applications have flexible rotors, where the shaft is designed in a relatively long and thin geometry to maximize the space available for components such as impellers and seals. Additionally, machines are operated at high rotor speeds in order to maximize the power output. The first recorded supercritical machine (operating above first critical speed or resonance mode) was a steam turbine manufactured by Gustav Delaval in 1883. Modern high performance machines normally operates above the first critical speed, generally considered to be the most important mode in the system, although they still avoid continuous operating at or near the critical speeds. Maintaining a critical speed margin of 15 % between the operating speed and the nearest critical speed is a common practice in industrial applications. The other two of the main components of rotor-dynamic systems are the bearings and the seals. The bearings support the rotating components of the system and provide the additional damping needed to stabilize the system and contain...

...ABSTRACT Several classes of computational methods are available for computer simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering at optical frequencies: Discrete Dipole Approximation, the T-matrix − Extended Boundary Condition methods, the Multiple Multipole Method, Finite Difference (FD) and Finite Element (FE) methods in the time and frequency domain, and others. The paper briefly reviews the relative advantages and disadvantages of these simulation tools and contributes to the development of FD methods. One powerful tool – FE analysis − is applied to optimization of plasmon-enhanced AFM tips in apertureless near-field optical microscopy. Another tool is a new FD calculus of “Flexible Local Approximation MEthods” (FLAME). In this calculus, any desirable local approximations (e.g. scalar and vector spherical harmonics, Bessel functions, plane waves, etc.) are seamlessly incorporated into FD schemes. The notorious ‘staircase’ effect for slanted and curved boundaries on a Cartesian grid is in many cases eliminated – not because the boundary is approximated geometrically on a fine grid but because the solution is approximated algebraically by suitable basis functions. Illustrative examples include problems with plasmon nanoparticles and a photonic crystal with a waveguide bend; FLAME achieves orders of magnitude higher accuracy than the standard FD methods, and even than FEM. Keywords: wave propagation, computational methods, flexible approximation, photonic crystals...

...1. Introduction Initially, the encryption of message was based on symmetric key cryptography where sender and receiver of message use the same key for encryption and decryption.But, to use the same key, sender and receiver must share the key in advance. And if their locations are different than there is risk in transmission of the key. Later in 1976,a cryprosystem,which is known as Diffie-hellman key-exchange, was published by Whitefield Diffie and Martin Hellman and concept behind the cryptosystem is known as public key encryption. In public key cryptosystem, each one gets a pair of keys, public key and private key. The pubic key is freely available to everyone while the private key remains secret. The sender, who wants to send a message securely to someone, use public key of receiver to encrypt the message and receiver use his private key to decrypt the message.This system doesn’t require secure key transmission.So, it resolves the one of the problem faced by symmetric key cryptosystem. If someone is able to compute respective private key from a given public key, then this system is no more secure. So, Public key cryptosystem requires that calculation of respective private key is computationally impossible from given public key. In most of the Public key cryptosystem, private key is related to public key via Discrete Logarithm. Examples are Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange, Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA), Elgamal which are based on DLP in finite multiplicative group. 1 2. Discrete...

...LINEAR PROGRAMING AND SIMPLEX METHOD Devharajan Rangarajan Department of Electronic Engineering National University of Ireland, Maynooth devharajan.rangarajan.2016@mumail.ie Abstract— An optimization problem consists of maximizing or minimizing a real function by systematically choosing input values from within an allowed set and computing the value of the function. This pays way to a new world of constrained optimization. This paper focuses on one such optimization technique known as Linear programming and one of its method known as Simplex method in detail with examples. cTx = c1x1 + · · · + cnxn The subject of linear programming can be defined quite concisely. It is concerned with the problem of maximizing or minimizing a linear function whose variables are required to satisfy a system of linear constraints, a constraint being a linear equation or inequality. The subject might more appropriately be called linear optimization. Problems of this sort come up in a natural and quite elementary way in many contexts but especially in problems of economic planning. (or Ax ≤ b) I. INTRODUCTION Linear programming is the process of taking various linear inequalities relating to some situation, and finding the "best" value obtainable under those conditions. A typical example would be taking the limitations of materials and labour, and then determining the "best" production levels for maximal profits under those conditions. In "real life", linear...

Systematically used these methods can yield fantastic results serving as a tool in the form and design generation / development process. In various product domains, especially where sheer aesthetic appeal or plurality of form is more important than functionality or utility; development of form family, variations on theme, etc. are the main design activity. This way of working will serve as an effective tool in cases where the design development process is confined mostly to the paperwork only but the product demands or has a scope for 3Dimensional thinking e.g. industrial jewelry design. Approach: Viewed individually, orthographic views could be interpreted in more then one way; using this...

Received: 16 September 2011; in revised form: 22 November 2011 / Accepted: 30 November 2011 / Published: 6 December 2011 Abstract: Cogging torque exists between rotor mounted permanent magnets and stator teeth due to magnetic attraction and this is an undesired phenomenon which produces output ripple, vibration and noise in machines. The purpose of this paper is to study the existence and effects of cogging torque, and to present a novel, rapid, half magnet pole pair technique for forecasting and evaluating cogging torque. The technique uses the finite element method as well as Matlab research and development oriented software tools to reduce numerous computing jobs and simulation time. An example of a rotor-skewed structure used to reduce cogging torque of permanent magnet synchronous machines is evaluated and compared with a conventional analysis method for the same motor to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The novel method is proved valuable and suitable for large-capacity machine...
