Abstract
The present research was designed to check the workability and strength properties of sisal fiber reinforced concrete with different mix proportions and different percentage of fiber addition. The materials were chosen to improve the various strength properties of the structure to obtain sustainability and better quality structure. Short discrete vegetable fiber (sisal) was examined for its suitability for incorporation in cement concrete. The physical property of this fiber has shown no deterioration in a concrete medium. Fibers were brushed, lined up and cut to obtain 4cm length. Degree of workability of concrete mix with 0.2% super plasticizer and water cement ratio 0.45 had good workability with slump value 53mm and compaction factor 0.88, which is effective, was obtained. Materials were hand mixed with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 and M25 mix design and casted in cubes and cylinders. The obtained specimens were subjected to tests aimed to check the compressive, tensile and flexural strength. An increase in compressive strength by 50.53% and tensile strength by 3.416% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 mix design respectively. An increase in compressive strength by 52.51% and tensile strength by 3.904% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M25 mix design respectively.

Non linear analysis of Robot Gun Support Structure using Equivalent Dynamic A...IJMER
Robot guns are being increasingly employed in automotive manufacturing to replace
risky jobs and also to increase productivity. Using a single robot for a single operation proves to be
expensive. Hence for cost optimization, multiple guns are mounted on a single robot and multiple
operations are performed. Robot Gun structure is an efficient way in which multiple welds can be done
simultaneously. However mounting several weld guns on a single structure induces a variety of
dynamic loads, especially during movement of the robot arm as it maneuvers to reach the weld
locations. The primary idea employed in this paper, is to model those dynamic loads as equivalent G
force loads in FEA. This approach will be on the conservative side, and will be saving time and
subsequently cost efficient. The approach of the paper is towards creating a standard operating
procedure when it comes to analysis of such structures, with emphasis on deploying various technical
aspects of FEA such as Non Linear Geometry, Multipoint Constraint Contact Algorithm, Multizone
meshing .

The usage of natural fibres like borassus flabellifer fiber, flax, sisal, jute, kenaf, etc. as replacement to manmade fibers in fiber-reinforced composites have increased now a days due to advantages like low density, low cost and biodegradability .In addition to this poor compatibility with the matrix and high absorption content of natural fibers, focus is diverted to fiber reinforced composites. In this research, the standard test method of ASTM D256M is used to prepare specimens for testing Impact strength properties of fiber-resin composites. The test specimen has a constant cross section with tabs bonded at the ends. The specimens were incorporated with borassus flabellifer fiber. Five identical specimens were prepared for each weight by varying fiber content in grams i.e. 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5. Impact strength of fabricated composites were calculated.It is found that the Impact strength is increased with increase in weight of fiber. The Impact strength of pure polyester is also determined experimentally. The impact strength of pure polyester is 12.5 J/m. The Impact strength of fibered composite is 460 J/m (for maximum loading fiber)
Unsaturated Polyester Resin Reinforced With Chemically Modified Natural FibreIOSR Journals
Abstract: The effects of surface treatment on some mechanical properties of sisal fibre reinforced unsaturated
polyester resin has been investigated. The sisal fibre was extracted by manually beating the sisal leaves with a
smooth edged stick followed by chemical modification of the fibres using alkaline treatment method with NaOH
at different concentrations and time at a constant temperature of 65 oC. The surface morphology and
characteristics of the treated and untreated sisal fibre samples was studied using Scanning Electron Microscope
(SEM). Polymer matrix composite (PMC) using treated and untreated sisal fibre as reinforcement and
unsaturated polyester resin as matrix material was prepared. The composite laminates was cut into different
sizes and shapes for mechanical testing. Universal testing machine (UTM) was used to test the flexural and
tensile test, while Charpy Impact testing machine was used for the impact test. From the results of the
mechanical tests, it was observed that, concentrations of 10% NaOH at (2 & 5 hours), 6 % NaOH at 5 hours
and 2 % NaOH at 5 hours show great improvement of the mechanical performance for tensile, flexural and
impact test respectively than the other various concentrations of NaOH at different time intervals. This shows
that, the extent of surface modification depends on the concentration of NaOH solution and time of treatment.
The changed fibre surface properties observed from SEM images of the treated sisal fibres were responsible for
better adhesion. Keywords: Sisal, Alkali, SEM, Unsaturated polyester, Composite,

The tensile and impact properties of these composites were also studied. The effect of alkali treatment of bamboo fibers on these properties was studied. It was observed that the tensile and impact properties of the hybrid composites increase with glass fiber content. The author investigated the interfacial bonding between Glsss/Bamboo fiber composites by SEM. These properties found to be higher when alkali treated bamboo fibers were used in hybrid composites. The hybrid fiber composites showed better resistance to the chemicals mentioned above. The elimination of amorphous hemi-cellulose with alkali treatment leading to higher crystallinity of the bamboo fibers with alkali treatment may be responsible for these observations.

A Study on Translucent Concrete Product and Its Properties by Using Optical F...IJMER
- Translucent concrete is a concrete based material with light-transferring properties,
obtained due to embedded light optical elements like Optical fibers used in concrete. Light is conducted
through the concrete from one end to the other. This results into a certain light pattern on the other
surface, depending on the fiber structure. Optical fibers transmit light so effectively that there is
virtually no loss of light conducted through the fibers. This paper deals with the modeling of such
translucent or transparent concrete blocks and panel and their usage and also the advantages it brings
in the field. The main purpose is to use sunlight as a light source to reduce the power consumption of
illumination and to use the optical fiber to sense the stress of structures and also use this concrete as an
architectural purpose of the building

Geochemistry and Genesis of Kammatturu Iron Ores of Devagiri Formation, Sandu...IJMER
The Greenstone belts of Karnataka are enriched in BIFs in Dharwar craton, where Iron
formations are confined to the basin shelf, clearly separated from the deeper-water iron formation that
accumulated at the basin margin and flanking the marine basin. Geochemical data procured in terms of
major, trace and REE are plotted in various diagrams to interpret the genesis of BIFs. Al2O3, Fe2O3 (T),
TiO2, CaO, and SiO2 abundances and ratios show a wide variation. Ni, Co, Zr, Sc, V, Rb, Sr, U, Th,
ΣREE, La, Ce and Eu anomalies and their binary relationships indicate that wherever the terrigenous
component has increased, the concentration of elements of felsic such as Zr and Hf has gone up. Elevated
concentrations of Ni, Co and Sc are contributed by chlorite and other components characteristic of basic
volcanic debris. The data suggest that these formations were generated by chemical and clastic
sedimentary processes on a shallow shelf. During transgression, chemical precipitation took place at the
sediment-water interface, whereas at the time of regression. Iron ore formed with sedimentary structures

sentences in a natural language such as English, rather than in a specialized artificial computer
language such as C++. The systems of real interest here are digital computers of the type we think of as
personal computers and mainframes. Of course humans can process natural languages, but for us the
question is whether digital computers can or ever will process natural languages. We have tried to
explore in depth and break down the types of ambiguities persistent throughout the natural languages
and provide an answer to the question “How it affects the machine translation process and thereby
machine learning as whole?” .

Material Parameter and Effect of Thermal Load on Functionally Graded CylindersIJMER
The present study investigates the creep in a thick-walled composite cylinders made
up of aluminum/aluminum alloy matrix and reinforced with silicon carbide particles. The distribution
of SiCp is assumed to be either uniform or decreasing linearly from the inner to the outer radius of
the cylinder. The creep behavior of the cylinder has been described by threshold stress based creep
law with a stress exponent of 5. The composite cylinders are subjected to internal pressure which is
applied gradually and steady state condition of stress is assumed. The creep parameters required to
be used in creep law, are extracted by conducting regression analysis on the available experimental
results. The mathematical models have been developed to describe steady state creep in the composite
cylinder by using von-Mises criterion. Regression analysis is used to obtain the creep parameters
required in the study. The basic equilibrium equation of the cylinder and other constitutive equations
have been solved to obtain creep stresses in the cylinder. The effect of varying particle size, particle
content and temperature on the stresses in the composite cylinder has been analyzed. The study
revealed that the stress distributions in the cylinder do not vary significantly for various combinations
of particle size, particle content and operating temperature except for slight variation observed for
varying particle content. Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) emerged and led to the development
of superior heat resistant materials.

Pipelines are the least expensive and most effective method for the oil transportation.
Due to high viscosity of crude oil, the pressure drop and pumping power requirements are very high.
So it is necessary to bring down the viscosity of crude oil. Heated pipelines are used reduce the oil
viscosity by increasing the oil temperature. Electrical heating and direct flame heating are the common
method used for heating the oil pipeline. In this work, a new application of Parabolic Trough Collector
in the field of oil pipeline transport is introduced for reducing pressure drop in oil pipelines. Oil
pipeline is heated by applying concentrated solar radiation on the pipe surface using a Parabolic
Trough Collector in which the oil pipeline acts as the absorber pipe. 3-D steady state analysis is
carried out on a heated oil pipeline using commercial CFD software package ANSYS Fluent 14.5. In
this work an effort is made to investigate the effect of concentrated solar radiation for reducing
pressure drop in the oil pipeline. The results from the numerical analysis shows that the pressure drop
in oil pipeline is get reduced by heating the pipe line using concentrated solar radiation. From this
work, the application of PTC in oil pipeline transportation is justified.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

I. Introduction
Sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea) is an important fiber plant in Asia. It has been cultivated since ancient
times and there are no known wild ancestors. It is the earliest fiber to be mentioned in Sanskrit writings (Hill
1952). It is a shrubby annual legume from 6-12 ft tall with bright yellow flowers. It is grown primarily in
southern India. Sunnhemp is an attractive natural fibre for use as reinforcement in composite because of its
low cost, renewable nature and much lower energy requirement for processing. It is a long, soft,
shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. Its botanical name is Corchorus, which
has been classified in the family Tiliaceae, or more recently in Malvaceae. It is mostly produced in India,
Bangladesh and China. Fibres come from the stem and ribbon (outer skin) of the sunnhemp plant. which
has prepared for harvesting are their fibres bundle of fibres and sunnhemp yarns. Poor resistance against
moisture, brittles under influence of light, absorbs paint easily. Sunnhemp consists of very short
elementary fibres (length 0.7-6 mm) which are stuck together by lignin to form long brittle fibres. U. S.
Ishiaku et al. have studied fabrication and characterization of the mechanical and morphological properties of
short fiber reinforced sun/poly butylene succinate (PBS) biodegradable composites in 2005. The effect of a dual
gated mold in the fabrication of welded specimens was a key focus of the investigation. It was observed that
incorporation of sunnhemp fiber (10 wt %) conferred drastic changes on the stress–strain properties of the
matrix as the elongation at break (EB), dropped from 160% in the matrix to sun 10% in the composite. The
tensile strength of the composite was lower than that of the matrix. However, it is noteworthy that the tensile
modulus of the composite increased. Bending test also revealed that both bending strength and modulus
increased with the incorporation of sunnhemp. Morphological studies of the tensile fracture surface using SEM
revealed two types of failure mode. Ductile failure was indicated by plastic deformation at the initiation of
fracture followed by brittle failure E. A. Bondareva et. al. have studied a quantitative relationship between the
strengths of a latex compound and the binder, allowing prediction of the properties of the material, has been
ABSTRACT: The present day technology demands eco-friendly developments. In this era the
composite material are playing a vital roal in different field of Engineering .The composite materials
are using as a principle materials. Nowaday the composite materials are utilizing as a important
component of engineering field .Where as the importance of the applications of composites is well
known, but thrust on the use of natural fibres in it for reinforcement has been given priority for some
times. But changing from synthetic fibres to natural fibres provides only half green-composites. A
partial green composite will be achieved if the matrix component is also eco-friendly. Keeping this in
view, a detailed literature surveyed has been carried out through various issues of the Journals
related to this field. The material systems used are sunnhemp fibres. Some epoxy and hardener has
been also added for stability and drying of the bio-composites. Various graphs and bar-charts are
super-imposed on each other for comparison among themselves and Graphs is plotted on MAT LAB
and ORIGIN 6.0 software. To determining tensile strengths, Various properties for different bio-
composites have been compared among themselves. Comparison of the behaviour of bio-composites of
this work has been also compare with other works. The bio-composites developed in this work are
likely to get applications in fall ceilings, partitions, bio-degradable packagings, automotive interiors,
sports things (e.g. rackets, nets, etc.), toys etc.

revealed and also examined how the strength of a composite depends on that of the binder, latex polymer in
2009.Zhi-Fen Wang et. al. have studied the starch was modified by esterification, and the starch/natural rubber
composite was prepared by blending the modified starch with natural rubber latex. The morphology, thermal
stability and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated in 2009. The results show that the
crystal structure of starch in the composite disappears after modification with esterification, and the starch
particles with an average size around 200 nm homogenously disperse throughout the natural rubber (NR)
matrix. The thermal stability of composite is improved significantly after the modification with starch. The
mechanical properties of composite are enhanced with the increase of starch loading. The composite possesses
the best properties at the starch xanthate content of 20 parts per hundred rubbers (phr). The enhanced thermal
stability and mechanical properties of modified starch/NR composite are mainly due to the improved phase
interface interactions between rubber and starch. Dipa Ray et al. have studied a 5% alkali (Na OH) solution
treatment for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h at 30°C of jute fibres in 2012. An improvement in the crystallinity in the jute
fibres increased its modulus by 12%, 68% and 79% after 4, 6 and 8 h of treatment respectively. The tenacity of
the fibres improved by 46% after 6 and 8 h treatment and the % breaking strain was reduced by 23% after 8 h
treatment. For the 35% composites with 4 h treated fibres, the flexural strength improved from 199.1 MPa to
238.9 MPa by 20%, modulus improved from 11.89 GPa to 14.69 GPa by 23% and laminar shear strength
increased from 0.238 MPa to 0.2834 MPa by 19%. Quazi T. H. Shubhra et al. have fabricated and studied plant
based natural jute fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) matrix composites (20 wt% fiber) by compression
moulding in 2010. Bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM), tensile strength (TS), Young‟s modulus
(YM), and impact strength (IS) of the composites were found 44.2 MPa, 2200 MPa, 41.3 MPa, 750 MPa and 12
kJ/m2
, respectively. Animal based natural B. mori silk fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) matrix composites
(20 wt% fiber) were fabricated in the same way and the mechanical properties were compared over the silk
based composites. TS, YM, BS, BM, IS of silk fiber reinforced polypropylene composites were found 55.6
MPa, 760 MPa, 57.1 MPa, 3320 MPa and 17 kJ/m2
respectively. B. Singh et al. have studied the durability of
jute fibre-reinforced phenolic composites in 2000. The physical and mechanical properties of jute composites
have been studied under humidity, hydrothermal and weathering conditions. The aging-induced deteriorative
effect of these conditions on the dimensional stability, surface topography and mechanical properties of the
composites was observed. The severity of aging was more detrimental in an accelerated water test as compared
to the other exposure conditions. Smita Mohanty et al. have studied dynamic mechanical and thermal properties
of MAPE treated jute/HDPE composites in 2006. They summarize an experimental study on the mechanical and
viscoelastic behavior of jute fibre reinforced high density polyethylene (HDPE) composites. Variations in
mechanical strength, storage modulus, loss modulus and damping parameter with the addition of fibres and
coupling agents were investigated. It was observed that the tensile, flexural and impact strengths increased with
the increase in fibre loading up to 30%, above which there was a significant deterioration in the mechanical
strength.. Dynamic mechanical analysis data showed an increase in the storage modulus of the treated
composites. The thermal behavior of the composites was evaluated from TGA/DTG thermo-grams. It can be
concluded that jute fibres could effectively reinforce HDPE matrix when used in an optimal concentration of
fibres and coupling agents.

technique. For this purpose, an open mould made of mild steel plate (600 mm long × 300 mm wide × 27 mm
thick) has been used. . Firstly, a Mylar sheet is placed on the lower part of mould for a good surface finish and
easy withdrawal of bio-composite from the mould in addition to it wax is also used to cover the surface of Mylar
sheet for easy withdrawal of bio-composite from Mylar sheet. Sunnhemp fibres placed unidirectional on it. Then
the matrix (mixture of 20% sun and 64% epoxy and 16%hardner) has been layered on the mould (3 mm)
thickness. After removing the entrapped air with the help of metal roller rolled on the layer, thereafter layer of
matrix has been poured on the mould. Then upper part of mould is placed on side plates, which placed on both
side of lower part of mould. In this way to cast the specimen of the bio-composite sheet produced single ply
having thickness between 5.50 mm and then left for 48 hours for curing at room temperature (15-27˚C). After
48 hours it is removed from the mould. Then this sheet is used to make tensile test specimens according to
ASTM Standards. Taking out fabricated sheet of bio-composite from the mould and fabricated sheet of bio-
composite. Compression test and impact test specimens are required higher thickness, so closed wooden moulds
have been used, in which the mould that has been used to make tensile test specimens has diffirent length, height
and width. The internal surface of mould is covered with Mylar sheet with wax covered over Mylar sheet to
protect matrix piece to stick with Mylar sheet. Then the matrix has been layered on lower part of the mould (40
mm) thickness and a layer of sunnhemp fibres placed unidirectional on it.
After layer of Sunnhemp fibres again matrix layer is applied. Then upper part of mould is placed on
lower part of mould and then left for 48 hours for curing at room temperature (15-27˚C). After 48 hours it is

removed from the mould. Then tensile test specimens of required dimensions according to ASTM Standards are
cut from the fabricated sheet of bio-composite.

IV. Overall Conclusions
Hand lay-up technique is successfully employed in manufacturing PPP FRP composites with relative
ease and accuracy. The wastage generated during the extraction of the fibre is 20 %. The soaking time for the
present chemical composition yields the very good tensile properties .which is evidenced from the experimental
results. The mechanical properties of the palmyra palm petiole FRP composites given enough confidence to
fabricate light weight and reasonably good strength parts for automobile door panels, house hold applications
like doors, window frames etc.
V. Suggested Applications
The bio-composites fabricated in my thesis work i.e. the sunnhemp fibre based bio-composites has
some applications are given as follows:
Fall Ceilings
Partitions
Bio-degradable Packagings
Automotive Interiors
Sports Things (e.g. rackets, nets, etc.)
Toys etc.
VI. Research Can Be Carried Out Further
Also find the characteristics of bio-composites should be studied at different temperatures.
Also use wheat, rice husk, wheat starch, corn starch, soy protein, etc. in fabrication of bio-composites.
To observe thermal characteristics of bio-composites.
Research should be done with for sunnhemp fibre reinforced biodegradable composites so that a fully
biodegradable material (green composite) may be fabricated which can be used in packaging and home
appliances. It will also be good for eco friendly environment.
