Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Module III
3. Ferrous Materials
In engineering applications, lion’s
share is served by ferrous materials.
Factors account for it
availability of abundant raw materials
economical extraction
ease of forming
versatile mechanical and physical
properties.
4. Ferrous Materials
Drawbacks of ferrous materials:
poor corrosion resistance
high density & low specific strength
low thermal and electrical conductivities
Classification
steels and cast irons – categorized based
on carbon content.
Steels: %C is upto 2.14%
Cast irons: %C is above 2.14%
5. Ferrous Alloys
Cast irons are called so because they are
usually manufactured through casting
technique owing to their brittle nature
due to presence of iron carbide.
Steels are serving major part of present
engineering applications.
However, cast irons mostly serve as
structural components.
eg: automobile motor casings, lathe bed,
sliding guides in machinery
6. Steel
An alloy whose major component is iron,
with carbon being the primary alloying
material.
Carbon acts as a hardening agent,
preventing iron atoms from sliding past one
another.
Carbon atoms occupy interstitial sites of Fe.
Varying the amount of carbon and its
distribution in the alloy controls the
qualities of the resulting steel.
7. Steel
Steel with increased carbon content can
be made harder and stronger than iron,
but is also more brittle.
Currently there are several classes of
steels in which carbon is replaced with
other alloying materials, and carbon, if
present, is undesired.
A more recent definition is that steels
are iron-based alloys that can
be plastically formed
8. Steel - classification
Steels are classified based on their C
content/alloying additions
Plain-carbon steel
Mild (low carbon) steel: < 0.3 wt % C
Medium carbon steel: 0.3 to 0.6 wt% C
High carbon steel: 0.6 to 2.14 wt% C
Alloy steels
HSLA steel
Tool steels
Stainless steel
9. Plain-carbon steel
An alloy of iron and carbon, where other
elements are present in quantities too small to
affect the properties.
Steel with a low carbon content has the same
properties as iron, soft but easily formed. As
carbon content rises the metal becomes harder
and stronger but less ductile.
Carbon steels which can successfully undergo
heat-treatment have a carbon content in the
range of 0.30% to 1.70% by weight.
10. Plain-carbon steel
A limitation of plain carbon steel is the very
rapid rate of cooling needed to produce
hardening.
In large pieces it is not possible to cool the
inside rapidly enough and so only the surfaces
can be hardened.
This can be improved with the addition of other
elements resulting in alloy steels
Trace impurities of various other elements can
have a significant effect on the quality of the
resulting steel
11. Low-carbon steel
Steel with a low carbon content has the same
properties as iron, soft but easily formed.
As carbon content rises the metal becomes
harder and stronger but less ductile.
Carbon present is not enough to strengthen
them by heat treatment, hence are
strengthened by cold work.
They are easily weldable and machinable.
Typical applications: tin cans, automotive body
components, structural shapes, etc.
12. Mild steel
The most common form of steel as it
provides material properties that are
acceptable for many applications.
Mild steel has medium carbon content (up
to 0.3%) and is therefore neither
extremely brittle nor ductile.
It becomes malleable when heated, and so
can be forged. It is also often used where
large amounts of steel need to be formed,
for example as structural steel.
13. Mild Steel
They are less ductile and stronger
than low carbon steels.
Heat treatable (austenitizing,
quenching and tempering).
Hardenability is increased by adding
Ni, Cr, Mo.
Used in various tempered conditions.
Typical applications: gears, railway
tracks, machine parts.
14. High Carbon Steels
They are the strongest and hardest of carbon
steels.
Heat treatable. Used in tempered or hardened
conditions.
Toughness, formability and hardenability are
quite low.
Not recommended for welding.
Alloying additions – Cu, V, W, Ni, Cr, Mo
Typical applications: Knives, razors, hacksaw
blades, etc where high wear resistance is the
prime requirement.
15. Alloy Steels
Limitations of plain carbon steel are
overcome by adding alloying elements
The alloying elements improve various
properties
HSLA steel
Tool steels
Stainless steel
16. HSLA steel
High strength low alloy steel is a type
of steel alloy that provides many benefits over
regular steel alloys.
HSLA alloys are much stronger and tougher
than ordinary plain carbon steels.
They are used in cars, trucks, cranes, support
columns, pressure vessels, bridges and other
structures that are designed to handle a lot
of stress.
17. HSLA steel
A typical HSLA steel may contain 0.15% carbon,
1.65% manganese and low levels (under
0.035%) of phosphorous and sulphur.
It may also contain small amounts of Cu, Ni, V,
Cr, Mo, Si or Zi.
HSLAs are therefore also referred to as
'microalloyed', as they are indeed alloyed in
extremely small amounts in comparison to other
main commercial alloy steels.
HSLA steels are also more resistant to rust than
most carbon steels.
18. Stainless steel
An iron-carbon alloy with a minimum of
12% chromium along with other alloying elements
Highly corrosion resistant owing to presence of
chromium oxide.
The name originates from the fact that stainless
steel does not stain, corrode or rust as easily as
ordinary steel
It is "stains less", but is not actually stain proof.
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable.
19. Stainless Steels
Its resistance to corrosion and staining, low
maintenance, relative inexpense, and familiar
lustre make it suitable for a host of commercial
applications.
There are over 150 grades of stainless steel, of
which fifteen are most common.
Typical applications – cutlery, surgical knives,
storage tanks, domestic items, jewellery.
Three kinds
Ferritic& hardenable Cr steels
Austenitic and precipitation hardenable
Martensitic
20. Stainless Steels - types
Ferritic steels are principally Fe-Cr-C alloys with
12-14% Cr with small additions of Mo, V, Nb, Ni.
Austenitic steels contain 18% Cr and 8% Ni plus
minor alloying elements.
Martensitic steels are heat treatable. Major
alloying elements are: Cr, Mn and Mo.
Ferritic and austenitic steels are hardened and
strengthened by cold work because they are not
heat treatable.
Austenitic steels are non-magnetic as against
ferritic and martensitic steels, which are
magnetic.
21. Tool Steels
A variety of alloy steels that are particularly
well-suited to be made into tools.
Their suitability comes from their
distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion,
their ability to hold a cutting edge, and/or their
resistance to deformation at elevated
temperatures (red-hardness).
Tool steel is generally used in a heat-
treated state.
Carbon content between 0.7% and 1.4%,
23. Effects of Alloying Elements
Barrier to Dislocation movement
Polymorphic transformation temperature
Strengthening of ferrite
Formation and stability of carbides
Displacement of the eutectoid point
Retardation of the transformation rates
Lowering of critical cooling rate
Improvement in corrosion resistance

limits austenite grain size.
The main use of titanium as an alloying
element in steel is for carbide stabilisation.
It combines with carbon to form titanium
carbides, which are quite stable and hard to
dissolve in steel.
Reduces martensitic hardness and
hardenability in medium Cr steels.
Prevents formation of austenite in high Cr
steels.
31. Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus is usually added with sulphur to
improve machinability in low alloy steels
When added in small amounts, aids strength
and corrosion resistance.
Phosphorus additions are known to increase
the tendency to cracking during welding.
Strengthens low-carbon steel.
Increases resistance to corrosion.
32. Silicon (Si)
Improves strength, elasticity, acid resistance
and promotes large grain sizes, which cause
increasing magnetic permeability.
Used as a deoxidising (killing) agent in the
melting of steel.
Silicon contributes to hardening of the ferritic
phase in steels.
Alloying element for electrical and magnetic
sheet.
Increase hardenability of steels.
Strengthens low-alloy steels.
Used in the range of 1.5% to 2.5%
33. Copper (Cu)
Copper is normally present in stainless
steels as a residual element.

Boron 0.001 to 0.05 Increases hardenability
Lead < 0.35 Improves machinability
36. Wrought Iron
Wrought iron is commercially pure iron
Wrought iron literally means worked
iron.
It is so named because it is worked from
a "bloom" of porous iron mixed with slag
and other impurities.
Carbon content not more than 0.15%
37. Wrought Iron
It is a fibrous material with many
strands of slag mixed into the metal.
These slag inclusions give it a "grain"
resembling wood, with distinct
appearance when etched or bent to the
point of failure.
It is tough, malleable & ductile and is
easily welded.
It is too soft for blades.
38. Wrought Iron
The fibers in wrought iron give it properties not
found in other forms of ferrous metal.
Hammering a piece of wrought iron cold causes
the fibers to become packed tighter, which
makes the iron both brittle and hard.
Wrought iron lacks the carbon content
necessary for hardening through heat
treatment,
wrought iron cannot be bent as sharply as
steel, for the fibers can spread and weaken the
finished work.
39.
40. Cast Irons
They have low melting temperatures, in the
range 1150-1300O
C with good fluidity for taking
good casting impressions.
It is a low cost material, as it can be produced
relatively easily using low cost raw materials and
technology.
Though brittle and have lower strength compared
to steels, cast irons have higher compressive
strength, ability to absorb vibrations (damping
capacity), better wear and abrasion resistance,
rigidity and machinability.
41. Cast Irons
With suitable composition and heat
treatments, a variety of microstructures
can be developed with varying properties.
Alloy cast irons possess high corrosion
and heat resistance.
However, they are not ductile to be rolled,
drawn or mechanically worked
Hence the only manufacturing process
applicable is casting, and so the name.
42. Classification of Cast Irons
Cast irons are generally classified
based on the metallurgical structure
and appearance. The following factors
control the structure and appearance.
Carbon content
Presence of other elements
Cooling rate during and after
solidification
Heat treatments
