Carbon fibers were pretreated by ultrasonic agitation and then were used to manufacture carbon fiber-reinforced wood composites (CFRWCs). The modulus of rupture (MOR) and the modulus of elasticity (MOE) for the CFRWCs were measured. The effects of the compounding pattern and proportion of carbon fiber on the dynamic performance were investigated by dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA) and fi...

The component piston in an internal combustion engine plays an important role in transforming the thermal energy developed during the combustion in to mechanical energy. During this process, the piston is subject to heat, and pressures developed in the combustion as well as variations in pressures during various strokes of the engine. Hence, there is a need to study the behavior of the piston t...

he present paper deals with the study of static and dynamic analysis of transmission line tower (X type of bracing system). A typical type of transmission line tower carrying 220KV single circuit conductor is chosen as case study existing in bijapur district. The analysis and modeling of tower is carried out using FE based ANSYS software. The model is created in CATIA and then imported to ANSYS...

Misalignment and unbalance is the most cause of machine vibration. An unbalanced rotor always cause more vibration and generates excessive force in the bearing area and reduces the life of the machine. Understanding and practicing the fundamentals of rotating shaft parameters is the first step in reducing unnecessary vibration, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine uptime. In this p...
