Magnetic Levitation

Magnetic Levitation is a technique or method by which an object is levitated or suspended and propelled using MAGNETISM. Basically the Magnetic Forces (Attraction or Repulsion) are used to eliminate the acceleration due to Gravity, Air resistance and any other friction or resistance to the movement of the object. LIFT AND STABILITY The two major … Read more

APPLICATION OF ENERGY DISSIPATION DEVICES AS EARTHQUAKE RESISTANT TECHNIQUES ON STRUCTURE

1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION ‘Momentary shaking of the ground or vibrations or oscillations of the ground caused by the slip or bye volcanic or magnetic activity or other sudden stress changes in the earth are called earthquake’. To protect the structure from significant damages and response reduction of structure under such severe earthquakes has become … Read more

A declarative hybrid approach to the modelling and optimization of supply chain problems

This paper presents a declarative hybrid approach to modelling, solving and optimization of the supply chain problems using transformation. Two environments (mathematical programming (MP) and constraint logic programming (CLP)) were integrated. This integration, hybridization as well as an adequate multi-dimensional transformation of the problem helped significantly reduce the combinatorial problem. The following dimensions were considered … Read more

STUDY THE EFFECT OF WEAR ON COMPOSITE MATERIAL TOOL

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview :- Composite material also called composition of materials or shortened to composites. Composite material are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. The new material may be preferred for … Read more

Wavelet transformation CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Filters are the manipulation of the amplitude and/or phase response of a signal according to their frequency. These are the basic components of all signal processing and -telecommunication systems. There are two kinds of filters- fixed and tunable. Fixed filters are those in which passband frequencies and stopband frequencies are fixed whereas … Read more
