Development of PVC Flute and Acoustic Testing for Commercial Production
Abstract: Flute is a musical instrument generally made of bamboo. Bamboo flute has less life and high price. Thus more durable material can be used which cannot be affected by environment. The PVC is most popular material which possesses these qualities and also cost effective. However, it should produce same pitch quality. This work focused on an idea to develop a high quality PVC pipe flute. A simple drill is used …

Generative Design and Simulation for Castor Wheel Assembly
Abstract: A castor wheel CAD model can be used to optimise the wheel's design for avariety of elements, including load capacity, durability, and use. Given theemployment of evolutionary algorithms and search strategies in thiscomputational process, generative design, also known as evolutionary design,is not a new idea. It can be characterised as a prototype design system thatcreates fresh conceptual designs from scratch using a genetic algorithm. In thismethod, a prototype system generates …
