Review on Vibration Problems in Turbomachinery
Abstract: Vibration suppression of turbomachinery is an important engineering problem. Vibration caused by mass imbalance is a common problem in rotating the turbomachinery systems. Imbalance occurs if the principal axis of inertia of the rotor is not coincident with its geometric axis. Higher speeds cause much greater centrifugal imbalance forces, and the current trend of rotating equipment toward higher power density clearly leads to higher operational speeds. In this paper, a …

Microbes in Fruit Crops-An Analysis
Abstract: Fruit crops have already become a prominent alternative due to their nutritional properties, cutting short the dangerous burden on traditional repetitive cereal/tuber crop-based diets. Microbial diversity has shown varying degrees of synergism with fruit crops, which has played a catalytic role in releasing productivity stagnation through better nutrient efficacy. Because of their perennial framework and root structure, perennial fruit crops are better positioned to profit from nutrientmicrobe synergy. However, using …

A Comparative Evaluation of Geopolymer, Conventional and GFRP Retrofitting Techniques in Augmenting Seismic Robustness of RC Structures
Abstract: Abstract The requirement of retrofitting an old existing structure, rendered structurally unsafe (based on its structural health assessment) is observed to be a major challenge faced by engineers as it necessitates comprehensive and complicated repair procedures. It was further seen that during earthquake, the main reason for failure of any structure was the failure of its beam column joints, thereby making it essential to strengthen them specifically. Until recently, the …
