In this article, the effect of parameters like working gap, work piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism(injection of the SiC Abrasive slurry and Al2O3, use of diamond paste as abrasive tool) in Magnetic Abrasive Finishing process using designing of experiments on the external surface of Cylindrical work pieces of Stainless steel AISI 440C to get minimum surf...

A fiber optical inclinometer based on modal interferometer is demonstrated for bend angle sensing. The device consists of a piece of simplified hollow core photonic crystal fiber sandwiched between single mode fibers with lateral offset. The measurement of bend angles up to 45° is demonstrated, and the spectrum exhibits a blueshift of over 50 nm. The sensitivity is found to increase with the ap...

Pultrusion process is one of the most effective manufacturing techniques for production of composite materials having constant cross-sectional area. Pultruded composite profiles are getting increasingly popular in construction industry as well as in wind energy due to their high strength-toweight ratio, low maintenance cost and high corrosion resistance. Recently, pultruded profiles are foresee...

To analyze the influence of tapered form two upper vertices a rectangular cube placed in channel and impact insertion hollow center obstacle, three-dimensional study was executed using K-ω SST turbulence model. Different models were presented to examine features flow with Reynolds number Re=4×104. The kinetic energy, 2D 3D time-averaged streamlines, trace-lines, streamwise velocity profiles, pr...

Herrmann Department of Mechanical Engineering and Institute for Systems Research One of the important activities in process planning is the design of fixtures to position, locate and secure the...

We aim to visualize the external physical damages and distinct external phenotypic effects between mechanical and laser-assisted immobilized human spermatozoa using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Human spermatozoa were immobilized mechanically or with laser assistance for SEM examination and the membrane integrities were checked on both types of immobilized spermatozoa. We found evidence...

In most biochemical analyses, a flow-through heating arrangement is needed to reduce the reaction time or maintain a constant temperature. A rectangular reactor is described that is constructed of aluminium, is hollow inside and is filled with silicone oil. The glass coil through which the solution flows is immersed in the silicone oil. The heater, a Peltier-effect heat pump, on one side and th...

Magnetic abrasive finishing (MAF) is a micromachining process that uses magnetic field and magnetic abrasive particles to conduct the mechanism of material removal in micro-nanometer scales. In this paper, by an experimental method and statistical analysis, the effects of parameters like working gap, work-piece rotational speed and material removal mechanism (injection of abrasive slurry of Al<...
