An Optimized Design of the Standard Manual Wheelchair
Abstract: The manual wheelchair is commonly found in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, senior housing and airports for allowing patients, people with physical disabilities or for elderly people. Transferring mishaps are one of the major causes for injuries. Moreover, all the transferring actions between wheelchair and other surfaces are difficult for wheelchair users. This project is aimed at optimizing the existing design of a standard manual wheelchair by introducing a height adjusting mechanism …

Design and Analysis of Centrally Suspended Cage-less Limited Slip Differential
Abstract: Limited slip differential (LSD) plays an important role in maintaining speeds and in torque distribution between the wheels of the automobile even in case of variable traction. In the present project work, limited slip differential is considered and the objective of the project is to find out tangential, axial and radial forces involved in meshing of the differential gears theoretically. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is carried out on Final, Crown, …

Design and Fabrication of Trammel Balls
Abstract: Transportation of water plays a vital role in the survival of a growing population. If the scarcity of water is one major issue, transportation of water using tankers have their own share. Water in a partially filled container, when induced with external energy (motion), generates slosh and surge. Both slosh and surge effects work as a resistive factor during transportation. To eliminate the same, few holes are drilled at pre-desired …

Exploring the Flow Physics during Unsteady Shock Interactions Using CFD and Numerical Analysis
Abstract: Numerical reproductions were done to analyze a Shock Interaction component in the twofold wedge design. The first wedge edge is steady in quite a while. Huge contrasts in stream structure were seen between the calculations with different edges on second wedge. The most exceptional violent variances happened toward the edges of the whole area. Symmetric and antisymmetric movements of the detachment district were recognized in the immediate stream utilizing restrictive …

Hardened Steel an Appliance with Low Degeneration
Abstract: Combination of high hardness, toughness, and strain hardening capacities with reasonable ductility have privileged Hadfield steel in sectors such as mining, transportation, military, agricultural and earthmoving equipment. Micro- porosities formation during casting by last solidifying liquids at inter-dendritic spaces in directional solidification have been insidious crack initiators during service exposure. Particulate penetration resistant wear part surfaces for secondary and tertiary crushers are found to add chromium and vanadium prone to …
