Identifying the Slider-Crank Mechanism System by the MPSO Methodijtsrd
This paper mainly proposes an efficient modified particle swarm optimization MPSO method, to identify a slider-crank mechanism driven by a field-oriented PM synchronous motor, dynamic formulations of a slider-crank mechanism have been successfully formulated with only one independent variable The parameters of many industrial machines are difficult to obtain if these machines cannot be taken apart In system identification, we adopt the MPSO method to find parameters of the slider-crank mechanism This new algorithm is added with "distance" term in the traditional PSO's fitness function to avoid converging to a local optimum It is found that the MPSO method can obtain optimal high-quality solution, high calculation efficiency, and its feasibility and effectiveness Finally, the comparisons of numerical simulations and experimental results prove that the MPSO identification method for the slider-crank mechanism is feasible Chin Wen Chuang | Kuan Yu Chen | Yi Hua Su "Identifying the Slider-Crank Mechanism System by the MPSO Method" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-6 , October 2018, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd18413.pdf
Geometrical Analysis and Design of Tension-Actuated Ackermann Steering System...Scientific Review SR
The tension-actuated steering system is a vehicular steering design that comprises a motorized gear system, pulleys, inelastic string, main steering bar, and a strain gauge. This development is aimed to produce a steering design that could enhance the efficiency of steering systems in quad-wheeled (i.e. four-wheeled) robots. In this work, the steering system of conventional passenger vehicles and existing quad-wheeled robots are reviewed and their technical deficiencies are improved based on cost, power and production factors. Thus, the tension-actuated steering system is proposed as a solution for mechanizing steering functions in quad-wheeled robots. It is expected that this work will stimulate interest and enthusiasm.
Design and Analysis of Mechanism for Dynamic Characterization of Power Transm...iosrjce
Power transmission systems are being widely used for transmission of power between two members.
Once a particular transmission system is realized it needs to be qualified before its course of application. As
part of this intended torque of the transmission systems needs to be measured and tested. Conventional means of
dynamic characterization of power transmission system has got the demerit of energy consumption to a greater
extent. Because of this more effort is to be put in terms of power for the sake of testing the intended system.
Great need exists for a system which consumes less or ideally no energy while performing test. This project
aims at evolution of a novel technique for evaluating the torque transmitting capability of power transmission
systems without consuming more energy. To start with all the subsystems of the proposed design will be
identified and each of them will be designed for getting their dimensions. Then these dimensional models will be
transformed to solid model of the assembled configuration using 3D CAD software. Functional load which will
be experienced by this design will be assessed and structural analysis will be carried out against these loads
using Finite Element Method (FEM) in commercial FEA software i.e. ANSYS
“Test rig on Eddy current braking system” is a very great innovation on its own and is specially made for the purpose
to stop the wheel in minimum time. Brakes are the crucial components in any mobile system which are generally used to stop
the motion of any mobile. Such type of component must be checked by using the highly accurate methodology in order to
access its functional performance in advance. The inspection methodology of brakes should be accurate with less time
consuming procedure for its inspection. This test rig will check the brake in the least time which leads to a reduction of nonproductive
time and improves brake efficiency.

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!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

27. Rigid link does not undergo any deformation
while transmitting motion. Ex connecting rod,
crank
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM

motion but does not affect transmission of motion.
Belts, springs, chain, ropes.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
29. Fluid link is formed by having the motion which is
transmitted through the fluid by pressure or
by compression.
Hydraulic jack and fluid brake
Hydraulic press and hydraulic brakes in vehicles
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
32. • Links which are attached to two different points in
a mechanism means containing two pair element
connections are called Binary links.
• Links containing three pair element connections
are called Ternary links.
• Links containing four pair element connections
are called Quaternary links.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
33. Rigid body and resistant body
A body is said to be rigid if under the action of
forces, it does not suffer any appreciable
distortion or change in physical form by the forces
acting on them are known as a Rigid body.
Distance between any two points on rigid body
remains constant. Ex. Piston, connecting rod,
crank
The component of a machine which do not suffer
appreciable distortion or change in physical form
by the forces acting on them for the purpose they
have to serve are known as a Resistant body.
Spring, chain, belt are example of resistant
body. Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
34. Rigid body and Resistant body
A body is said to be rigid if under the action of
forces, it does not suffer any appreciable
distortion or change in physical form by the forces
acting on them are known as a Rigid body.
Distance between any two points on rigid body
remains constant. Ex. Piston, connecting rod,
crank
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
35. Resistant body are those which are rigid for
the purpose they serve.
A resistant body or rigid body which is a part
of machine and has motion relative to the
other connected components is known as
kinematic link.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
36. Kinematic Pair:-
There always exists a relative motion between
every two links.
If this relative motion between the pair of links
is constrained or successfully constrained
then the pair is called as Kinematic pair.
Constrained Motion:- one element has got only
one definite motion relative to the other.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
37. Constrained Motion
Types:
Completely constrained motion
Incompletely constrained motion
Successfully constrained or partially constrained
motion
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
38. (a) Completely constrained motion:
The motion between two elements of a pair is in a
definite direction irrespective of the direction of force
applied
The constrained motion is completed by its own links
Square bar in square hole, shaft with collar in a circular
hole , piston and cylinder in steam engine
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
39. (b) Incompletely constrained motion:
• If the links are so connected that motion can take place
in more than one direction
• Circular bar moving in the round hole, because bar can
rotate and reciprocate independently
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
40. (c) Successfully constrained or partially constrained
motion:
• When the motion between two elements of a pair is
possible in more than one direction but is made to have
motion only in one direction by using some external
means
• A definite constrained motion is not completed by itself
but by some other means.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
41. (c) Successfully constrained or partially constrained
motion:
e.g.
A shaft in a footstep bearing have vertical motion apart
from rotary motion. Load applied on a shaft constrained
to move in vertical direction.
In a petrol engine the piston and cylinder form a
successfully constrained pair.
In cam and follower, the successfully constrained motion
is obtained by the gravity of follower and the spring force
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
42. When the two kinematic links are connected such a way that
their motion is either completely or successfully
constrained then these two links are said to form pair.
Types of Kinematic Pairs
Based on relative motion between pairing elements
Based on contract between the links
Based on mechanical constraint or mechanical arrangement
between the links
KINEMATIC PAIRS
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
43. Based on relative motion between pairing elements
(1) Sliding pair (Prismatic pair or sliding joint) :
Two links have a sliding motion relative to each other, they
form a sliding pair
eg. Piston and cylinder in reciprocating engine
TYPES OF KINEMATIC PAIRS
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
44. (2) Turning pair (revolute pair or pin joint)
When one link has a turning of revolving
motion relative to each other, they
constitute a turning pair.
eg. Crankshaft and the frame of engine
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
45. (3) Helical pair or screw pair
If two links have a turning as well as sliding motion
between them, they form a screw pair.
This is achieved by cutting machine threads on
the two links.
Eg. The lead screw and nut of the lathe, screw
jack, C-clamp, fitting vice.

47. (4) Spherical pair or globular pair
When one link in the form of a sphere turns inside a
fixed link, it is a spherical pair.
Eg. Ball and socket joint, Attachment of a mirror
for motorcycle, joystick
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
48. (3) Rolling pair
When links of a pair have a rolling motion
relative to each other, they form a rolling pair.
Eg. Ball and roller bearings, wheel rolling of
flat surface, toothed gear, cam follower mechanism,
Belt drive
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
50. Based on relative motion between pairing elements
(1) Sliding pair (Prismatic pair or sliding joint)
(2) Turning pair (revolute pair or pin joint)
(3) Helical pair or screw pair
(4) Spherical pair
(5) Rolling pair
TYPES OF KINEMATIC PAIRS
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
51. Based on nature of contact between elements
(i) Lower pair : The joint by which two members
are connected has surface or area contact.
In a slider crank mechanism all pairs are lower
pair
Shaft revolving in a bearing
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
52. (ii) Higher pair: The contact between the pairing
elements takes place at a point or along a line.
Cam and follower mechanism, toothed gears, ball and
roller bearing, wheel rolling on a surface.
Toothed gear
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
53. 53
Higher pair
Have line and point contact between the
pairing elements.
CAM Follower Gears
Pin and slot
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
54. Based on the nature of mechanical
constraint
(a) Closed pair : Two elements of a pair
are held together mechanically, it
forms closed pair.
contact between the two can be broken
only by destruction of at least one of the
members
sliding pairs, turning pairs, spherical
pairs and screw pairs i.e. all lower pairs.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
55. Based on the nature of mechanical
constraint
(b) Unclosed or force closed pair
Two elements of a pair
are in contact either due to force of
gravity or some spring action, they
constitute an unclosed pair.
Cam and follower mechanism held
together by the forces exerted by spring
and gravity not mechanically.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
56. Based on relative motion between pairing elements
(1) Siding pair (Prismatic pair or sliding joint)
(2) Turning pair (revolute pair or pin joint)
(3) Rolling pair
(4) Spherical pair
(5) Helical pair or screw pair
Based on nature of contact between elements
(1) Lower pair
(2) Higher pair
Based on the nature of mechanical constraint
(1) Closed pair
(2) Unclosed or force closed pair

62. 62
Kinematic chain
When kinematics pairs are so coupled that the last
link is joined to the first link.
It is assembly of the links in which the relative motion
of the links is possible and the motion of each link is
relative to the others is definite.
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
64. Kinematic chain
A combination of links and pairs without a
fixed link.
No element is fixed to the ground or frame
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
65. MECHANISM
- When one of the links of a kinematic chain is fixed, the
result is mechanism.
- A mechanism is a constrained kinematic chain .
- Motion of any one link in the kinematic chain will give a
definite and predictable motion relative to each of the
others.
- Usually one of the links of the kinematic chain is fixed in
a mechanism
Prof. Ami Barot PVG's COET & GKPIM
68. Difference Between a Machine and a
Structure
The members of a structure
1. Do not move relative to one another.
2. Do not transform energy into useful work.
3. The links of a machine may transmit both power
and motion, while the members of a structure
transmit forces only.
Examples:
Structure: Roof trusses used in buildings.
Machine: screw jack , I.C. engine
