Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of Highway bridges using Wireless Sensor Network

The objective is to provide a solution to measure vibrations, strain inside a concrete structure. Using Wireless sensor network it remotely monitor health of bridges. The goal of the monitoring is understand the structure & prevent the damage & prepares to repair it before catastrophe failure. The accelerometer, gas sensor, load cell and ultrasonic sensor module in existing sensor nodes enables several novel applications. In this paper, a model for monitoring and detecting damage for real bridge using these sensor nodes is built. 

The sensors are placed on a scaled down concrete bridge model i.e. mounted on a shaking table. The results are denoted in terms of acceleration on different nodes at a particular excitation frequency in the case of normal, single-side and double-side damage. The recommended system consists of a wireless Data Acquisition Unit (DAQ). The sensors in the DAQ assemble the bridge health signs and transmit them directly via the public mobile networks to the management and evaluation middleware for further processing. SHM system incorporates four major components: a wireless sensor system, a data processing system, alert system and a health evaluation system. This paper recommends a system architecture for smart healthcare based on GSM.

Design of Family Mould Tool for Plastic Box

Injection molding is a cyclic process of forming plastic into a desired shape by forcing the material under pressure into a cavity. The shaping is achieved by cooling (thermoplastics) or by a chemical reaction (thermosets). It is one of the most common and versatile operations for mass production of complex plastics parts with excellent dimensional tolerance. Injection molding is preferred where high tolerance, good quality and high rate productions are required. 

The aim of this paper is to model, extract core'“cavity and develop injection molding tool for manufacturing a plastic box and also to reduce its warpage Core'“Cavity design the mould flow analysis of the component is done using SOLIDWORK software. The tool will design to produce a good quality component considering the ease of manufacturability, assembly and positive ejection of the component. The tool design should match the machine specification and should be same for successful life of a component or product.

Study on Comparison of Structural Fundamental Period within UBC -97 and ASCE 7-05

This study present the comparison of structural fundamental period generated from Equivalent Lateral Force Procedure by applying the provision of two building codes, UBC-97 and ASCE-7-05, to the most common residential buildings of standard occupancy. A sample three story building with two seismic zones (Yangon and Mandalay regions) and different soil types was subjected to code-compliant. All of the design calculations are processed by hand calculation. 

Furthermore, the comparison of result, such as the response acceleration of each codes will present with design response spectrum curve. For all cases investigated, the UBC was found to be significantly more conservative than ASCE-7-05. Typically, when a jurisdiction develops its own building code, an ASCE 7 edition is frequently adopted. Consequently, the comparisons presented remain relevant even when a local jurisdiction develops its own building code.

Implementation of a Radon Counter Measuring Apparatus using CCD Image Sensor Module

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas produced by the decay of uranium ore. Various types of equipment and components have been proposed for use in effective radon detection. In this paper, we describe a radon measuring apparatus that uses an analog CCD image sensor module. Based on our studies, we believe that this system would be helpful in protecting many people from the dangers associated with radon exposure.

CFD Analysis of Heat Transfer Enhancement in Shell and Tube Type Heat Exchanger creating Triangular Fin on the Tubes

Shell and Tube heat exchangers are having special importance in boilers, oil coolers, condensers, pre-heaters. Shell and Tube heat exchanger is one such heat exchanger, provides more area for heat transfer between two fluids in comparison with other type of heat exchanger. To intensify heat transfer with minimum pumping power innovative heat transfer fluids called Nano fluids have become the major area of research now a days. The primary aim is to evaluate the effect of different weight concentration and temperatures on convective heat transfer. 

Increasing the weight concentration and temperatures leads to enhancement of convective heat transfer coefficient. In the present, work attempts are made to enhance the heat transfer rate in shell and tube heat exchangers. A multi pass shell and tube heat exchanger with 3 tubes with fins modelling is done using ANSYS. Nanofluid such as Al2O3-H2O is used. 

The CFD simulated results achieved from the use of the creating fin in tube side in shell and tube type heat exchanger are compared with without fin. Based on the results, providing fins on tube causes the increment of overall heat transfer coefficient which results in the enhancement of heat transfer rate of heat exchanger.

A Review - Study of the Thermo-Physical Properties of PCM with Dispersion of Nano Particles

In this article, a new sort of nanofluid phase change materials (PCMs) is developed by suspending a small amount of BeO nanoparticles in solution of wax. Its thermal conductivities, super cooling degree, latent heat, specific heat, and rheological behaviours of the nanofluids PCMs have investigated. A rectangular duct designed and numerical studies were performed to reveal the effects of molten PCM thermo physical properties on heat and exergy storage performance of latent heat storage (LHS) unit. 

The range analysis, regression analysis and optimization were conducted. The PCM selection criteria were established. The results show that for short time LHS system, the order of PCM properties effects on heat storage performance is melting temperature, thermal conductivity, specific heat, density and melting enthalpy successively. PCM with lower melting temperature, higher thermal conductivity and specific heat is beneficial to improve the heat storage rate and heat storage quality. 

For long time heat storage system, the order of PCM properties effects on heat storage performance is density, melting enthalpy, specific heat, melting temperature and thermal conductivity successively. PCM with higher density, melting enthalpy and specific heat can both improve the heat storage rate and heat storage quality.
