This document summarizes an experimental study on polypropylene fiber reinforced moderate deep beams. Six beams of varying depths from 150mm to 300mm were cast with polypropylene fiber contents ranging from 0% to 1% by volume. The beams were tested under two-point loads to evaluate properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, shear stress, ductility, and failure patterns. The results showed that the addition of polypropylene fibers significantly improved the mechanical properties of the beams and increased their resistance to brittle failure. Beams with higher fiber contents exhibited higher load capacities, greater deformability, and more ductile failure modes compared to beams without fibers.
Experimental study on fatigue behavior of Glass/vinyl ester CompositeAM Publications
The present work deals with the effect of coconut shell powder filler on the fatigue behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer composite. The tensile and fatigue tests have been carried out for 4 mm and 10 mm length glass fibers, vinyl ester and coconut shell powder filler composites with varied volume fraction. The results show that the composite made with 10 mm length glass fiber gave good tensile and low cycle fatigue strength when compared to composite made with 4 mm length glass fiber by considering the different composition with or without coconut shell powder used as filler. The addition of filler content improves the fatigue life of a composite.[2]
IRJET- Influence of Variation of Length and Dosage of Nylon Fiber on Comp...IRJET Journal
The document investigates how varying the length and dosage of nylon fibers affects the compressive and split tensile strength of concrete over 7 and 28 days. Concrete cubes and cylinders were cast containing nylon fibers of lengths 30mm and 50mm and dosages from 0.1-0.6% by weight. Testing found that compressive and tensile strength generally increased with 0.3% fiber content and 30mm length, with higher strengths than plain concrete. However, higher dosages decreased strength by reducing workability. The optimum dosage was found to be 0.3% at 30mm length fiber, improving crack resistance and post-failure strength through fiber bridging.
Mechanical Properties of Self Compacting Concrete with Glass FibersIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental study on the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete with the addition of glass fibers. Mix designs for M30 and M40 grades of self-compacting concrete were developed according to EFNARC guidelines. Glass fibers in amounts of 0%, 0.1%, 0.15%, and 0.2% by weight of cement were added to the mixes. Tests were performed to determine the fresh and hardened state properties including compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, durability, and load-deflection behavior. The results showed that the addition of glass fibers improved the mechanical properties and durability of the self-compacting concrete. Analytical models were also developed using ABA
The document summarizes an experiment conducted to analyze the effectiveness of different viscoelastic materials in minimizing vibration and noise from rotating machinery. The experiment tested various thicknesses and profiles of natural rubber and PVC sheets placed beneath bearings that supported an unbalanced rotating shaft. Vibration measurements were taken at the bearings under different material configurations and shaft speeds. The results tables show that, in general, thicker viscoelastic materials and those with corrugated profiles performed better at reducing measured vibration levels compared to thinner, plain materials or no isolation.

Formability study of layered material based on numerical analysisvikrammistry
1) The document analyzes the formability and springback of layered metallic materials through numerical analysis.
2) It studies how material properties like yield strength, strength coefficient, and strain hardening exponent affect the springback in bending. Higher yield strength and strength coefficient with lower strain hardening results in greater springback.
3) Thickness also impacts springback, with thinner materials experiencing more springback. Layering high ductility materials can help reduce springback in high strength materials.
Future work could involve deriving more complex equations to model bending moment and springback in multi-layer strips.
This document summarizes an experimental study on the ultimate shear strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) moderate deep beams without stirrups. 12 beams with varying depths were tested under two-point loading. The test results showed that including steel fibers in concrete can improve the shear strength of beams without stirrups. An equation is proposed to calculate the ultimate shear strength as the sum of the shear strength contributed by the concrete and that contributed by the fibers. The theoretical shear strengths calculated using the proposed equation were within 25% of the experimental values, indicating good agreement. Including steel fibers allowed for partial replacement of stirrups and provided effective reinforcement against shear failure.
The addition of small, closely spaced and uniformly dispersed fibers in concrete would act as crack arrester and would substantially improve its static and dynamic properties. The test result shows that the increase in compressive strength of concrete with LIWF for 7 days and 28 days for various percentage of fibers ranges from 3 to 15%.There is increase in flexural strength of concrete as the % of steel increases and decrease in flex. Strength is observed for grater w/c ratio.

Experimental Study of Mechanical Properties of Sintered Fly Ash Aggregate in ...YogeshIJTSRD
This paper gives the work carried out for the enhancement of mechanical residences of sintered homes fly ash mixture in concrete. Fiber Reinforced Concrete is a composite fabric consisting of a matrix containing a random distribution or dispersion of small fibers, having a excessive tensile strength. Alkali resistant glass fiber prevents corrosion and helps enhance concrete properties. Like make bigger tensile strength, enhance resistance to impact, amplify shear strength, higher water resisting properties. Glass fibers weight is lots lighter than when metal is used in concrete. Good freeze thaw resistance helps shield various climatic stipulations at marine environments in very bloodless international locations In this study, Conventional concrete has the trait regarded as brittle failure due to the fact it has a semi crystalline structure, which tends to shatter on impact. This is mainly risky when subjected to explosive pressure due to the fact ballistic particles is created which can create giant collateral damage. This is no longer the case with GRFC, as it does no longer ride brittle failure. it is determined to scan locate out the power and sturdiness of the Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete made the usage of Cement for assessing its suitability for Marine and Hydraulic Constructions.

A Study on Steel Fiber Reinforced Normal Compacting ConcreteIJERA Editor
Plain concrete which is strong in compressive strength possesses a very low tensile strength, limited ductility
and little resistance to cracking. Internal micro cracks are inherently present in the concrete due to drying,
shrinkage and poor tensile strength, eventually leading to brittle fracture of concrete. Hence fibres are added to
concrete to overcome these disadvantages. Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is a concrete composite of cement,
fine and coarse aggregate and fibres with different proportions. In plain concrete, micro cracks develop even
before loading, particularly due to drying, shrinkage or other causes of volume change. The width of these initial
cracks seldom exceeds few microns. When loaded the micro cracks propagate and open up, due to the effect of
stress concentration additional cracks form in place of minor defects. Fibres enable concrete to progress from
plastic state to hardened state without weakness. This is achieved by the reduction of micro crack formation,
reduced segregation and decreasing the scope of capillary formation, thus reducing permeability. Generally,
fibres are chosen depending upon the aspect ratio.
Out of all types of fibres, steel fibres are mostly used because steel has high modulus of elasticity, high
elongation, high tensile strength and the bond between steel and the fibre is enormous. The present experimental
investigation was carried out to evaluate the influence of steel fibres on physical and mechanical properties of
concrete, containing cold drawn carbon steel fibres of hooked end type having aspect ratio of 50 with diameter
0.6mm and length 30mm with varying percentages of 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2.0% volume fraction is added to the
concrete. Concrete is evaluated for compressive, split tensile and flexural strength at 7, 28 and 90 days, with the
addition of 1.5% fibres, test results show the maximum compressive, split tensile and flexural strength, it
becomes the optimum value. Split tensile and flexural strength of concrete is done only up to 1.5% volume.
Moreover, the results confirmed that the steel fibre reinforced concrete reduce cracking and improves flexure.

This document summarizes a study on the performance of steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC). The objective was to optimize the properties of SFRSCC in both fresh and hardened states. Various materials were used to produce SFRSCC mixes with steel fiber contents ranging from 0% to 3% by volume. Cubes and beams were tested to determine the compressive and flexural strengths at 7 and 28 days. The results showed that both strengths generally increased with fiber content up to around 2%, above which the strengths decreased. This suggests the steel fibers can improve the mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete if used at an optimal dosage.
This document summarizes an experimental investigation into the reinforcement of metal matrix composites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes to improve fatigue life. Glass fiber composites currently have high strength but poor fatigue performance due to matrix cracking. The study found that adding only 1% of carbon nanotubes by weight significantly increased the high-cycle fatigue life of glass fiber composites. Carbon nanotubes were found to inhibit crack formation and growth by nucleating many nano-scale damage zones. Energy absorption also increased through nanotube pullout and fracture. An energy-based model was proposed to explain the fatigue life improvement from additional strain energy absorption in the composite.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.
APPLICATION OF FRUGAL APPROACH FOR PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT - A CASE STUDY OF...IAEME Publication
Manufacturing industries have witnessed an outburst in productivity. For productivity improvement manufacturing industries are taking various initiatives by using lean tools and techniques. However, in different manufacturing industries, frugal approach is applied in product design and services as a tool for improvement. Frugal approach contributed to prove less is more and seems indirectly contributing to improve productivity. Hence, there is need to understand status of frugal approach application in manufacturing industries. All manufacturing industries are trying hard and putting continuous efforts for competitive existence. For productivity improvements, manufacturing industries are coming up with different effective and efficient solutions in manufacturing processes and operations.

The notion of frugal can be viewed as an approach towards productivity improvement in manufacturing industries.
A MULTIPLE – CHANNEL QUEUING MODELS ON FUZZY ENVIRONMENTIAEME Publication
In this paper, we investigated a queuing model of fuzzy environment-based a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) and study its performance under realistic conditions. It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.
