A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

HYDRAULIC CYLINDER OPERATING FEATURES
The simplest type of hydraulic cylinder is the single-acting design. It consists of a piston
inside a cylindrical housing called a barrel. Attached to one end of the piston rod, which
extends outside one end of the cylinder (rod end). At the other end (blank end) is a port
for the entrance and exit of oil. A single-acting cylinder can exert a force in only the
extending direction as fluid from the pump enters the blank end of the cylinder. Single-
acting cylinders do not retract hydraulically. Retraction is accompanied by using gravity
or by the inclusion of a compression spring in the rod end.
A graphic symbol implies how a component operates without showing any of its
construction details. In drawing hydraulic circuits graphic symbols of all components are
used. This facilitates circuit analysis and troubleshooting. The symbols, which are merely
combinations of simple geometric figures such as circles, rectangles, and lines, make no
attempt to show the internal configuration of a component. However symbols clearly
show the function of each component.
A double-acting cylinder can be extended and retracted hydraulically. Thus, an output
force can be applied in two directions (extension and retraction). This type of cylinder
has working pressure rating of 40 bar to 400 bar depending on the constructional details
and application needs. The output force is proportional to the bore area.
The barrel is made of seamless steel tubing honed to a fine finish on the inside. The
piston which is made of ductile iron has grooves in which are fitted seals (U-cup
packings) to seal against leakage between the pistol and barrel. The ports are located in
the end caps, which are secured to the barrel by tie rods. The tapered cushion plungers
provide smooth deceleration at both ends of the stroke. Therefore, the piston does not
bang into the end caps with excessive impact, which could damage the hydraulic cylinder
after a given number of cycles. The static sealing at the ends is achieved by use of ‘O’
Rings.

CYLINDER MOUNTINGS AND MECHANICAL LINKAGES
Various types of cylinder mountings are in existence. This permits versatility in the
anchoring of cylinders. The rod ends are usually threaded so that they can be attached
directly to the load, a clevis, a yoke, or some other mating device.
Through the use of various mechanical linkages, the applications of hydraulic cylinders
are limited only by the ingenuity of the fluid power designer. These linkages can
transform a linear motion into either an oscillating or rotary motion. In addition, linkages
can also be employed to increase or decrease the effective leverage and stroke of a
cylinder.
Much efforts has been made by manufacturers of hydraulic cylinder to reduce or
eliminate the side loading of cylinders created as a result of misalignment. It is almost
impossible to achieve perfect alignment of a hydraulic cylinder, even though the
alignment of the cylinder has a direct bearing on its life.
A universal alignment mounting accessory designed to reduce misalignment problems is
developed. By using one of these accessory components and a mating clevis at each end
of the cylinder, the following benefits are obtained.
• Freer range of mounting positions.
• Reduced cylinder binding and side loading.
• Allowance for universal swivel.
• Reduced bearing and tube wear.
• Elimination of piston blow-by caused by misalignment.
A large number of cylinders use the clevis and trunnion concept to avoid side-loads and
they are very common in construction machines such as loaders, excavators, dozers etc.,
as well as material handling equipment such as cranes.

CYLINDER FORCE, VELOCITY, AND POWER
The output force (F) and piston velocity (v) of double-acting cylinders are not the same
for extension and retraction strokes. This is explained as follows:
During the extension stroke, fluid enters the blank end of the cylinder through the entire
circular area of the piston (Ap). However during the retraction stroke, fluid enters the rod
end through the smaller annular area between the piston rod and cylinder bore (Ap – Ar),
where Ap, equals the piston area and Ar equals the rod area. The difference in flow-path
cross-sectional area accounts for the difference in piston velocities. Since Ap is greater
than (Ap – Ar), the retraction velocity is greater than the extension velocity for the same
input flow-rate.
Similarly during the extension stroke, fluid pressure bears on the entire circular area of
the piston. However during the retraction stroke, fluid pressure bears only on the smaller
annular area between the piston rod and cylinder bore. This difference in area accounts
for the difference in output forces. Since Ap is greater than (Ap – Ar), the extension force
is greater than the retraction force for the same operating pressure.
Equations (6-1) through (6-4) allow for the calculation of the output force and velocity
for the extension and retraction strokes of 100% efficient double-acting cylinders.
Extension stroke
Fext(1b) = p (psi) × Ap(in2
) (6-1)
Fext(N) = p (Pa) × Ap(m2
) (6-1M)
vext(ft/s) = Qin(ft3
/s) (6-2)
Ap(ft2
)
vext(m/s) = Qin(m3
/s) (6-2M)
Ap(m2
)
Retraction Stroke
Fret(1b) = p (psi) × (Ap – Ar) in2
(6-3)
Fret(N) = p (Pa) × (Ap – Ar) m2
(6-3M)
Fret(ft/s) = Qin(ft3
/s) (6-4)
(Ap – Ar)ft2

vret(m/s) = Qin(m3
/s)
(AP – Ar)m2
(6-4M)
The power developed by a hydraulic cylinder equals the product of its force and velocity
during a given stroke. Using this relationship and Esq. (6-1) and (6-2) for the extending
stroke and Eqs. (6-3) and (6-4) for the retraction stroke, we arrive at the same result:
Power = p × Qin. Thus, we conclude that the power developed equals the product of
pressure and cylinder input volume flow-rate for both the extension and retraction
strokes.
The horsepower developed by a hydraulic cylinder for either the extension or retraction
stroke can be found using Eq. (6-5)
Power (HP) = vp (ft/s) × F (1b) = Qin (gpm) × p(psi) (6-5)
550 1714
Using Metric units, the kW power developed for either the extension or retraction stroke
can be found using Eq. (6-5M).
Power (kW) = vp (m/s) × F (kN) = Qin (m3
/s) × p (kPa) (6-5M)
Note that the equating of the input hydraulic power and output mechanical power in Eqs.
(6-5) and (6-5M) assumes a 100% efficient hydraulic cylinder.
SPECIAL CYLINDER DESIGNS
For a double-rod cylinder in which the rod extends out of the cylinder at both ends, the
words extend and retract have no meaning. Since the force and speed are the same for
either end, this type of cylinder is typically used when the same task is to be performed at
either end. Since each end contains the same size rod, the velocity of the piston is the
same for both strokes. A good example is in the table reciprocation of surface grinding
machines.
The telescopic cylinder actually contains multiple cylinders that slide inside each other.
They are used where long work strokes are required but the full retraction length must be
minimized. One application for a telescopic cylinder is the high lift fork truck. Other
examples are in dampers, vertical hoists etc.,

HYDRAULIC CYLINDER CUSHIONS
Double-acting cylinders sometimes contain cylinder cushions at the ends of the cylinder
to slow the piston down near the ends of the stroke. This prevents excessive impact when
the piston is stopped by the end caps. Deceleration starts when the tapered plunger enters
the opening in the cap. This restricts the exhaust flow from the barrel to the port. During
the last small portion of the stroke, the oil must exhaust through an adjustable opening.
The cushion design also incorporates a check valve to allow free flow to the piston during
direction reversal.
The maximum pressure developed by cushions at the ends of a cylinder must be
considered since excessive pressure buildup would rupture the cylinder. The following
example illustrates how to calculate this pressure, which decelerates the piston at the ends
of its extension and retraction strokes.
Worked example for cushion pressure calculation:
Problem:
A pump delivers oil at the rate of 18.2 gpm into the blank end of the 3-in-diameter
hydraulic cylinder. The piston contains a 1-in-diameter cushion plunger that is 0.75 in
long, and therefore the piston decelerates over a distance of 0.75 in at the end of its
extension stroke. The cylinder drives a 1500-lb weight, which slides on a flat horizontal
surface having a coefficient of friction (CF) equal to 0.12. The pressure relief valve
setting equals 750 psi. Therefore, the maximum pressure (p1) at the blank end of the
cylinder equals 750 psi while the cushion is decelerating the piston. Find the maximum
pressure (p2) developed by the cushion.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the steady-state piston velocity v prior to deceleration:
v = Qpump = (18.2/449) ft3
/s = 0.0406 = 0.83 ft/s
Apiston [( /4) (3)2
/144] ft2
0.049
Step 2: Calculate the deceleration a of the piston during the 0.75-in displacement S using
the constant acceleration (or deceleration) equation:
v2
= 2aS
7. Mr.Giridhar, Bosch Rexroth (India) Limited
7
Solving for deceleration, we have
A = v2
2S
Substituting known values, we obtain the value of deceleration:
a = (0.83 ft/s)2
= 5.51 ft/s2
2(0.75/12 ft
Step 3: Use Newton’s law of motion: The sum of all external force F acting on a mass
m equals the product of the mass m and its acceleration or deceleration a:
F = ma
When substituting into Newton’s equation, we shall consider forces that tend to slow
down the piston as being positive forces. Also the mass m equals the mass of all the
moving members (piston, rod, and load). Since the weight of the piston and the rod is
small compared to the weight of the load, the weight of the piston and rod will be
ignored.
Also note that the mass m equals weight W divided by the acceleration of gravity g. The
frictional retarding force f between the weight W and its horizontal support equals CF
times W. This frictional force is the external load force acting on the cylinder while it is
moving the weight.
Substituting into Newton’s equation yields
p2(Apiston – Acushion plunger) + p1(Apiston) =W a
g
Solving for p2 yields a usable equation:
p2 = ( W/g)a + p1(Apiston) – ( CF) W
Apiston – Acushion plunger
Substituting known values produces the desired result:
p2 = [(1500)(5.51)/32.2] + 750 ( /4)(3)2
– (0.12)(1500)
( /4)(3)2
– ( /4)(1)2
p2 = 257 + 5303 - 180 = 5380 = 856 psi
8. Mr.Giridhar, Bosch Rexroth (India) Limited

7.07 – 0.785
Thus the hydraulic cylinder must be designed to withstand an operating pressure of 856
psi rather than the pressure relief valve setting of 750 psi.
