This project aims to investigate and compare the tribological properties of copper-based alloys produced by the die-casting method. Tribological properties, such as wear resistance and frictional behavior, play a crucial role in determining the suitability of materials for various engineering applications. Copper has many useful properties, such as...

Aluminum alloys are widely used engineering materials in a various field. AA2024 alloy is one of the most used alloys in the aerospace as well as automobile industry. At the time of the casting of the alloy, casting defects like porosity, shrinkage, etc. are induced in the alloy. The casting defects can be minimized by optimizing the gating system...

Aluminum metal matrix composites with improved mechanical and chemical properties are used widely in automotive, aerospace, electrical, structural applications due to their high strength to weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and good electrical conductivity. This paper summarizes the effects of reinforcements such as SiC and CNT in the aluminium mat...

Nanofiller is used to enhance the properties in composite materials, with at least one phase of nanomaterials that can be referred as nanocomposites. The nanomaterial due to uniform dispersion recently used in advanced polymer nanocomposites, to mix effectively in the polymer matrix. The production of polymer composites with nanofiller is limited d...

Natural fibers have predominantly gained hobby in reinforcement for hybrid PMC due to free availability, eco-friendly and also with superior mechanical properties. Most of the authors predicted the benefits of using kenaf and jute fiber related polymerized materials in for structural and automotive applications, due to certain drawbacks, which are...

This research presents the Karanja biodiesel blends as fuel in a direct injection diesel engine. Combustion, performance and emission characteristics were carried out on a single cylinder with water cooled by four stroke diesel engine coupled with multigas analyzer. The suitability of biodiesel blends for combustion analysis were done by using fuel...

The present work focusses on the interactive effect of variables such as compression ratio, blend and loading conditions on the performance and emission characteristics of biodiesel in diesel engine. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on the factorial design of 3 ⁿ is used to design the experiments. The experiments are conducted on single cyl...

The nanofiller and polymers in a nanocomposites exhibits unique properties attributed to particle size in nanometer, very high surface area and strong interfacial interaction between the matrix and nanofiller. The chemical functionalization of graphene is of critical interest since it can enhance the dissolvability and process capacity as well as i...

Radar antennae used in military vehicles are subject to large wind speeds, and therefore large drag forces, particularly in coastal areas. It is highly inconvenient, expensive and time-consuming to determine these forces experimentally. This paper aims to study the application of 2-dimensional (2D) Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis for fi...

Brake pads are the most important component of an automobile braking system. It help in smooth retardation of a vehicle and finally bringing it to halt. Brake pads convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into thermal energy by friction. The effectiveness of the brakes depends completely on frictional material used, which in turn affect the performance...
