Effects of Process Parameters and Investigation Of Springback Using Finite Element Analysis

Authors: Arati M. Lokhande, Dr. Vilas M. Nandedkar

Abstract— One of the most sensitive features of sheet metal forming is the elastic recovery during unloading called springback. Sheet metals are prone to some amount of springback depending on elastic deformation. Variations in the mechanical and dimensional properties of the incoming material, lubrication and other forming process parameters are the main causes of springback variation. Accurate prediction and controlling of springback is essential in the design of tools for sheet metal forming. This paper gives the prediction of springback for U bending using FEA. In this research the material properties for IS513D are used. Sheet metal with four different thicknesses such as 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0mm are used. Also four different blankholder forces are used. The effects of these parameters on sheet metal are studied and springback is investigated.

Keywords— FEA, blankholder force, sheet thickness, springback, U- bending

Feedstocks, Production, Properties and Blending Effect of Biodiesel: A Review

Authors: Bibha Boro, Sanjay Basumatary, Pradyumna K. Choudhury, Biswajit Gogoi

Abstract— Demands for energy have been increasing day by day which has led to the depletion of global fossil fuel reserves at an exponentially increasing rate. Alternative fuels like biodiesel seem to be favorable solutions for near future. Renewable diesel fuel, termed as biodiesel, is produced from various edible and non-edible feedstocks. Various methods for production of biodiesel have been used out of which transesterification method, has been reported mostly in many literatures. Despite its many advantages, biodiesel possesses some serious negative features for which blending of biodiesel with petroleum diesel fuels becomes necessary to make it more compatible as conventional fuel. Decrease in the emission of hydrocarbons is remarkable with biodiesel blending that could be observed along with enhanced thermal efficiency of the engine. This paper is an attempt to review various sources for biodiesel production, properties, and use of biodiesel by blending as substitute of the diesel fuel.

Security Algorithms in Cryptography and Their Network Attacks

Authors: Jitender Singh, Monika

Abstract–Cryptography algorithms can be divided in to two groups that are Symmetric key (also called as Secret key) algorithms and Asymmetric algorithms (also called as Public key). In Symmetric key same is used at both sides that is at sender side as well as receiver side .that is sender encrypt the message with same key as the receiver uses to decrypt the message . Where as in Asymmetric key two different keys are used by sender and receiver to encrypt or decrypt the message. Sender uses the Public key to encrypt the message whereas receiver uses the private key to decrypt the message. Public is used as publically but private key is used by individually. Hence three keys are used in cryptography that is public key, secret key and private key [1]. Cryptanalyst studies the algorithm, finding its pattern and weakness while cryptographer set to try to secure the message by applying the algorithm. Various technologies are used to secure the message like AES, DES, DSS, Encryption, and RSA. Symmetric key also uses the Traditional cipher, Substitution cipher, Mon alphabetic cipher, poly alphabetic cipher, Shift cipher, Transposition cipher, Simple modern cipher, Xor cipher, Rotation cipher, Substitution cipher s-box, transposition cipher p-box, including expansion permutation, compression permutation, straight permutation, modern round cipher, Data Encryption standard (DES), triple DES, Advanced Encryption standard (AES) other ciphers like IDEA, BLOWFISH, RC-5, CAST-128,while Asymmetric approach use RSA and Diffie-Hellman algorithms in cryptography.

Keyword- Cryptanalyst, cryptographer, computational complexity, OSPA protocol, Cryptosystem, field theory, transposition.

Enhancement Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks in S-MAC Protocol

Authors: Monika, Sunil Kumar

Abstract– Wireless sensor networks have emerged as an important new area in wireless technology for twenty first century. It is used in environment monitoring, agriculture and many hazardous places Wireless sensor network use battery operated computation and sensing devices. The nodes sensing all the time and transfer the sensing information to the base station and drop down battery power quickly. So the main problem is to minimize the energy consumption and make the life of wireless sensor longer. The S-MAC protocol is the solution. S-MAC protocol uses three technologies to minimize energy consumption and support self- configuration. The first, neighbouring nodes are synchronized to go to sleep periodically. Second, the synchronized neighbouring nodes make a virtual cluster to synchronise their wake-up and sleep periods so the control packet overhead is kept low. Third message passing is used to reduce contention latency and control overhead.

Keywords- S-MAC, Wireless sensor network, Energy consumption, Latency.

An Impact of Investors Unpredictable Behavior on Stock Market

Authors: Anil Kharb, Monika Malik

Abstract--Behavioural finance is a part of finance that seeks to understand and explain the systematic financial market implications of psychological decision processes. It utilises knowledge of cognitive psychology, social sciences and anthropology to explain irrational investor behaviour that is not being captured by the traditional rational based models. This article, namely behavioural finance, presents a new approach in the analysis of capital markets. Behavioral finance is the study of the influence of the psychological factors on financial markets evolution. Financial investors are people with a very varied number of deviations from rational behaviour, which is the reason why there is a variety of effects, which explain market anomalies. Human beings are rational agents who attempt to maximize wealth while minimizing risk. These agents carefully assess the risk and return of all possible investment options to arrive at an investment portfolio that suits their level of risk aversion Classical finance assumes that investors are rational and they are focused to select an efficient portfolio, which means including a combination of asset classes chosen in such a manner as to achieve the greatest possible returns over the long term, under the terms of a tolerable level of risk. Behavioral finance paradigm suggests that investment decision is influenced in a large proportion by psychological and emotional factors.

Experimental Investigation of Multi Cylinder Diesel Engine Using Rubber seed oil and Diesel

Authors: Dr. Hiregoudar Yerrennagoudaru, Chandragowda M, Manjunatha K, Nagaraj Basavantappa Hugar

Abstract— Petroleum based fuels play an important role in rapid depletion of conventional energy sources along with increasing demand and also major contribution to air pollution. Major portion of today’s energy demand in India is being met with fossil fuels. Therefore it is the right time for searching alternative fuels in the engines. As India is an agricultural country, there is a wide scope for the production of vegetable oils (both edible and non-edible) from different oil seeds. This paper focused only on non-edible oils like rubber seed oil as fuel for C.I engine. The main objective of this paper is to study the performance and emission characteristics of a multi cylinder, constant speed diesel engine using rubber seed oil & compared with the diesel fuel. Brief studies about the experimental setup and components have been done before the experiment started. Calculations have been done for the taken readings. A four stroke multi cylinder diesel engine was used to study the brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and emissions from zero loads to full load for both diesel and rubber seed oil.

An Exploratory Survey of Energy Efficient Protocols and Techniques in Wireless Sensor Network

Authors: Yogesh Mishra, Rashmi Pandey, Ashish Singhadia

Abstract— In wireless sensor networks, lifetime enhancement is a huge challenging task because the sensor nodes are equipped with limited low power battery. The battery replacement or recharge is not possible as nodes are deployed in inaccessible polluted environment. When the battery power of a sensor node is exhausted, then the sensor node dies. When sufficient number of sensor nodes die, the whole network does not perform its desired task. Thus the network lifetime enhancement is most important task of a wireless sensor network.Various energy efficient protocolswas applied to enhance network lifetime. This paper surveys the recent energy efficient protocols and their performance. Our survey concludes with problem formulation, its solution and the recommendations to the future direction in the energy efficient model for wireless sensor networks.

Keywords-Wireless Sensor Network, Clustering, Cluster Head, Base Station, Low Energy, Energy Efficient Protocol.

A Survey of Homomorphic Encryption Schemes in Cloud Data Storage

Authors: R. Kanagavalli, Dr. Vagdevi S

Abstract— Cloud Computing technology is enabling IT managers to treat infrastructure as a common substrate on which they can provide services to users in a faster, more flexible and cost effective way. Despite the trumpeted business and technical advantages of cloud computing, many potential users are yet to join the cloud and those who are cloud users put only their less sensitive data in the cloud. Lack of security in the cloud is a major worry. Data can be encrypted and stored in the cloud but the problem is that while data can be sent to and from a cloud provider’s data center in an encrypted form, the servers that power a cloud can’t do any work on it that way. With homomorphic encryption, a company could encrypt its entire database and upload it to a cloud and it is possible to analyze data without decrypting it. In this paper, we surveyed homomorphic cryptosystems, how they differ, how to use them to secure our data in cloud and perform operations on the data with the help of cipher texts.

Keywords— Cloud Security, Cloud Data Storage, Homomorphic key, Erasure coding, RNS.

Abstract - All over the world the use of petroleum products has increased day by day. The vehicle population is also increasing day by day. The vehicle population has tremendous increased in the recent year with the explosion of vehicle population in the world wide. As the vehicle population increases the use of fossil fuel like petrol and diesel has increased tremendous. . Thus the implication of vegetable oil offers the advantage of being used readily in existing diesel engines. Hence to meet these requirements humans have to look towards alternatives to the petroleum based fuels like petrol and diesel. This paper focused only on non-edible oils like pongamia oil as fuel for C.I engine. The main objective of this paper is to study the performance and emission characteristics of a multi cylinder, constant speed diesel engine using pongamia oil & compared with the diesel fuel. Brief studies about the experimental setup and components have been done before the experiment started. Calculations have been done for the taken readings. A four stroke multi cylinder diesel engine was used to study the brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and emissions from zero loads to full load for both diesel and pongamia oil.

Keywords— Diesel, Pongamia oil, Performance, Exhaust emissions, Alternative fuels.

A Secure Software Access Measure using Coupling, Complexity and Cohesion Metrics

Authors: K.Vaitheki, S. Urmela

Abstract— Security being an imperative feature and a crucial need of any software system the security issues have always been secondary for the developers in SDLC progression. The unavailability of the information about the proactive vulnerabilities and the security breaches makes the software much apprehensive. The vulnerability prone nature of the software that affects the secure access that is aimed is identified by adopting the CCC metrics. This paper elaborates Security patterns as reusable solutions and further it paves a way to develop patterns for secure access hence providing explicit solutions to the context of the problem related to secure access. The proposed work has refined the values for the quality attributes related to secure access through careful reviews and map them with necessary code level metrics that affects security at different abstraction levels. The modifications at the code levels based on the internal and external metrics aims to provide a step up in security correlated to secure access.

Discrete Optimization of Truss Structure Using Genetic Algorithm

Authors: Mallika Alapati

Abstract-- During the last few years, several methods have been developed for the optimal design of structures. However, most of them, because of their calculus-based nature, treat the search space of the problem as continuous, when it is really discrete. Sometimes this leads to unrealistic solutions and therefore, they are not used in practice, which still prefers to rely on the more traditional iterative methods. This paper describes and uses genetic algorithm approach which explains that in a certain community, only the best organisms survive from all the adverse effects, i.e.,“ survival of the fittest ”. This paper describes the use of genetic algorithm (GA) in performing optimization of 2D truss structures to achieve minimum weight. The GA uses fixed length vector of the design variables which are the cross-sectional areas of the members. The objective considered here is minimizing the weight of the structure. The constraints in this problem are the stress and deflection in no member of the structure should exceed the allowable stress and deflection of the material. As a case study this method is applied to a bench mark example of 10 bar truss and the results provided show that the minimum weight obtained is further reduced by the methodology adopted.

Heterogeneous Network Routing Analysis

Authors: Sadiqa nishat Bawoor, Shrikant Nandan, Dr Jayashree D. Mallapur

Abstract— The two main driving technologies in the mobile telecommunication market of third generation mobile systems were identified as UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems) and Internet on mobile systems. The UMTS evolved the mobile systems with the concept of portability. The portability rendered the service of a personalized service set across the network/terminal boundaries. The other services like Voice Over IP (VOIP) is another important evolution of the third generation which helps to acquire data communication on mobile systems. In this paper we have simulated UMTS application using a network simulator called Qualnet. The simulation results are taken for different applications and routing protocol.

Upconversion Luminescence in Er3+/ Yb3+Codoped Lead Bismuth Indium Borate Glasses

Authors: Y Raja Rao, K Krishnamurthy Goud, E Ramesh Kumar, M Chandra Shekhar Reddy, B Appa Rao

Abstract— The effect of Er3+ concentration on red emission in Er3+/Yb3+co-doped PbO-B2O3 -Bi2O3 -In2O3 glasses is reported. Optical absorption, FTIR and luminescence spectra of all the glasses were recorded at room temperature. The optical absorption spectra exhibited a band at 990nm due to transitions from the ground state 4 I15/2 and 2F7/2 to excited states of Er3+ and Yb3+ ions, respectively. The other absorption bands at 491 nm (4F7/2), 523 nm (2H11/2), 565 nm ( 4 S3/2), 660 nm (4F9/2), 812 nm (4 I9/2) and 1525 nm (4 I13/2) are attributed to transitions from the ground state 4 I15/2 to excited state of Er3+ . From the optical absorption spectra, optical band gap Eopt, Urbach energy values were calculated and it was observed that the Eopt decreases with increasing the concentration of Er3+ ions upto 0.6 mol% and increases with further increase in the concentration of Er3+ ions. The FT-IR data revealed the presence of BiO3 , PbO4 , BO4 and BO3 functional groups in all the investigated glasses. Green and red up-conversion emissions centered at 529, 542 and 656 nm corresponding to 2H11/2 4 I15/2, 4 S3/2 4 I15/2 and 4F9/2 4 I15/2 transitions, respectively, of Er3+ ions have been obtained under 980 nm laser excitation at room temperature. The results obtained are discussed quantitatively based on the energy transfer between Yb3+ and Er3+ ions.

Keywords—Glasses, FTIR, Optical absorption, Photo luminescence, Rare earths.

Data Compression Schemes for WSN Nodes Used for Data Acquisition of Slowly Changing Digital Events

Authors: Dinesh K. Anvekar, Chaitra K.R, Chaitra H.V

Abstract— In this paper, minimization of energy required for transmission by nodes in a class of WSNs deployed to sense digital events is considered. Energy conservation directly leads to increased lifetime of a WSN. Considerable reduction of transmission energy can be achieved by reducing the number of bits transmitted to convey the same digital signal values. In an earlier paper, we considered some schemes for minimizing the number of transmitted bits. We have extended that work further as reported in this paper. The new scheme proposed in this paper involves grouping of 1 and 0 time periods in a matrix format and transmitting the matrix dimensions. We show that for digital signals with very long runs of 1s or 0s considerable reduction of transmitted energy can be achieved

Earth’s Magnetic Field Fluctuations During CME Events at High Latitude in European Zone

Author: Babita Chandel

Abstract--The concerning results, are the variations of Geomagnetic Field Components in European Zone during coronal mass ejection (CME) events. The geomagnetic events selected for this study occurred during 2003-2006, a period of solar minimum at Tromso (TRO), Sodankyla (SOD) and Rorvik (ROR) with geomagnetic Latitude and Longitude (69.390 N 18.560 E), (67.3600 N . 26.3630 E) and (64.560 N 10.590 E). From the present study it is observed that the strength of a geomagnetic storm depends on the interplanetarymagnetospheric coupling parameter VBz. Higher the value of VBz, higher will be the strength of geomagnetic storm. Magnitude of variation at Rorvik is more as compared to Tromso and magnitude of variation is more at Tromso as compared to Sodankyla. Variation in vertical component is less as compared to the north-south and east-west component. Geomagnetic field components shows the variation when either interplanetary magnetic field orients southward or remains southward for few hours.

Dynamic Performance of DFIG using SMES For WECS

Authors: J Srinadh, S Sankara Prasad

Abstract— The integration of wind turbines into modern power grids has significantly increased during the last decade. Wind turbines equipped with doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) have been dominating wind power installation worldwide since 2002. In this project work, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit is being used to improve the dynamic performance of a wind energy conversion system equipped with DFIG during voltage sag and voltage swell at the grid side.The converter and the chopper are controlled using a hysteresis current controller (HCC) and a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) respectively. The basic implementation of the HCC is based on deriving the switching signals from the comparison of the actual phase current with a fixed tolerance band around the reference current associated with that phase. To control power transfer between the SMES coil and the ac system, a dc–dc chopper is used, and fuzzy logic is selected to control its duty cycle (D) with input variables real power generated by the DFIG and the SMES coil current.The MATLAB/SIMULINK software is used to simulate the wind turbine, the SMES unit, and the model under study. Results are to be analyzed to highlight the improved dynamic performance of wind energy conversion systems in conjunction with the SMES unit. Detailed simulation is to be carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK software to highlight the impact of the SMES unit in improving the overall system performance under voltage sag and voltage swell conditions.

Keywords—Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), fuzzy logic, hysteresis current controller (HCC), superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), voltage sag, voltage swell and wind energy conversion system (WECS).

Recent Trends in SCADA and Power Factor Compensation on low Voltage Power Systems for Advanced Smart Grid

Authors: Yahia Bahaa Hassan, Nabil Litayem, Mohyi el-din Azzam

Abstract— This paper presents an extending a smart grid to switched capacitor banks at the low-voltage three-phase four-wire distribution systems. New power factor regulators using MSP430 microcontrollers will be proposed instead of ordinary regulators to be suitable for connecting to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system that actually has been implemented since 2005 in the Middle Egypt Electricity Distribution Company(MEEDCO). In MEEDCO, there are quite a lot of mounted power factor regulators in different locations, but most of these regulators are far from each other and also far from the control center of MEEDCO's SCADA system. This paper also discusses the suitable technology to communicate the suggested regulators with the control center efficiently and how this will be done in the framework of a secure smart grid.

Keywords— Data Transfer, MSP430, Smart Grid, SCADA, Security.

Overview of Code Excited Linear Predictive Coder

Authors: Minal Mulye, Sonal Jagtap

Abstract— Advances in speech coding technologies have enabled speech coders to achieve bit-rate reductions at a great extent while maintaining roughly the same speech quality. One of the most important driving forces behind this feat is the analysis-by-synthesis paradigm. Code Excited Linear Predictive coder (CELP) is the quite efficient closed loop analysis-by-synthesis method for narrow and medium band speech coding systems. CELP algorithm can produce low- rate coded speech comparable to that of medium- rate waveform coders thereby bridging the gap between waveform coders and Vocoders. This paper gives the general overview and conceptual literature of this highly proficient speech coder.

Keywords— Analysis-by-synthesis, CELP, speech coder, Vocoders, waveform coders.

Analysis and Comparison of Evolutionary Algorithms applied to Adaptive Noise Cancellation for Speech Signal

Authors: Ritika Thakur, Papiya Dutta, Dr. G.C. Manna

Abstract— In this paper, an improved method based on evolutionary algorithm for speech signal denoising is proposed. In this approach, the stochastic global optimization techniques such as Artificial Bee Colony(ABC), Cuckoo Search (CS)algorithm, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique are exploited for learning the parameters of adaptive filtering function required for optimum performance. It was found that the ABC algorithm and Cuckoo Search algorithm based speech denoising approach give better performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as compared to PSO based speech denoising approach. The quantitative (SNR, MSE and Maximum Error (ME)) and visual (Denoised speech signals) results show superiority of the proposed technique over the conventional and state -of-art speech signal denoising techniques. All proposed methods have been simulated in Matlab, and design results are illustrated clearly to show the superiority of the proposed method.

Keywords— Adaptive filters, Adaptive Algorithms, Artificial Bee Colony, Cuckoo search, Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Speech Enhancement.

A Study on Influence of Altering The Tooth-Sum on Bending Stress In External Spur Gears Under Static Loading

Authors: A. R. Rajesh, Dr. Joseph Gonsalvis, Dr. K. A.Venugopal

Abstract - Gears are used to provide a nonslip drive in power transmission. While transmitting power, if specific requirements like load carrying capacity, wear characteristics, noise level etc. are imposed, then the shape and size of the tooth become critical parameters for analysis, thus necessitating a detailed study and modification of tooth geometry. Of the above, the load carrying capacity depends on the bending strength of the gear tooth which is normally computed using Lewis Equation. Usually standard tooth geometry is modified by profile shift using S-gearing, may be So or S+ type, with the former being more common. Tooth geometry can also be modified by way of altering the tooth-sum for a given center distance and module. This study is focused on introducing the profile shift by way of altering the tooth-sum and investigating its effect on tooth bending strength and contact ratio. Involute spur gears having tooth-sum 100, 2 mm module and 20 degree pressure angle are considered. When compared to standard gears, a reduction in bending stress by 12% for HPSTC loading and 35.28% for tip loading is observed with negative teeth alterations while 24.05% increase in contact ratio is observed with positive teeth alterations. Such betterment in performance aspects can be traded off to derive several other gearing benefits. Hence altered tooth-sum way is a unique and novel approach to profile shift in gear design. The unique advantage of this method is that it needs no structural modifications as there is no change in center distance.

Keywords - Altered tooth-sum, spur gears, bending stress, profile shift, high contact ratio, operating pressure angle.

Experimental Modal Analysis of Automotive Exhaust Muffler Using Fem and FFT Analyzer”

Authors: Sunil, Dr Suresh P M

Abstract— Experimental modal analysis, also known as modal analysis or modal testing, deals with the determination of natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes through vibration testing. The exhaust muffler in an automobile plays an integral role in reducing the sound of the automobile, as well as the ride itself. In order to maintain a desired noise and comfortable ride, the modes of a muffler need to be analyzed. Modal analysis is done both experimentally through FFT analyzer and finite element analysis. The natural frequencies obtained by both the methods agree with each other. This is useful while designing of exhaust muffler to avoid the resonance.

Implementation of College Network Scenario Module by Using CCNA

Authors: Jitender Singh, Anshu Rani


Abstract– There is different users of the project; basically the users are present at different places in different groups. By this, a request is generated by one user of either to communicate with other user or users or sharing some data with them. There can be a state where a message is to be broadcasted by a user to entire college. So this paper is about communication among different users present at different locations, sharing this common network. CNS Stands for the college network scenario.

Keyword- CNS, CCNA, CISCO, IP, ROUTER, VLAN

Fingerprint Recognition using Core Detection Technique

Authors: Manisha Yadav, Parveen Yadav

Abstract— a single biometric indicator used in biometric system that is uncomfortable with noisy data in user verification process. There are some kinds of restrictions on degree of freedom with some unacceptable error rates. With existing of these problems it’s very difficult for particular to improve the performance a biometric system. In biometric system finger recognition is very necessary process for safety and security purpose. In our thesis work we are going to improve performance of fingerprint recognition process using Core Detection Technique. Image of fingerprint is binarised in first step and apply thinning process to make it ready for further process of detection. There are many techniques available in market but as comparison on basis of result with the existing, core detection performs well. Core Detection Technique performs best at level for recognition of fingerprint in biometric system.

Keywords— Fingerprint recognition, Minutiae, Core detection technique, Binarization.

Image Coding With EZT, SPIHT Algorithm And Context Modeling Using Wavelet Transform

Authors: A. Balamurugan, T. Muthamil, S. Kannan, Vaishnodevi

Abstract -Wavelet transform is a type of signal representation that can give the frequency content of the signal at a particular instant of time. The Objective of Compression is to reduce the memory and efficient use of bandwidth. JPEG-2000 is an emerging standard for still image compression. Image compression must not only reduce the necessary storage and bandwidth requirements, but also allow extraction for editing, processing, and targeting particular devices and applications. Entropy coding is carried out as context-dependent, binary, arithmetic coding of bitplanes. Wavelet filters with more analyzing vanishing moments generally perform well with natural and smooth images and not so with images with a lot of edges and high frequency components. The analysis filter bank has decomposed the image into four parts. LL is the analog of the low pass image. HL, LH and HH each contain high frequency information and are analogs of the wavelet components. In analogy with the wavelet transform, we can now leave the _ wavelet sub images HL, LH and HH unchanged, and apply our filter bank to the LL sub image. Then this block in the upper lefthand corner of the analysis image will be replaced by four blocks L’L’, H’L’, L’H’ and H’H’, in the usual order. We use the approach of Embedded Zero Tree Algorithm in both MATLAB® and VHDL and it is efficient for hardware implementation. Embedded Zero Tree Algorithm, Set Partitioning in Hierarchical trees algorithm and EZW with Context modeling algorithm were compared using the results of Peah to signal noise Ratio.
