BIO INSPIRED BLADES BASED ON THE ELYTRA OF IRONCLAD DIABOLICAL BEETLE

The main objective of this study is to analyze bio-inspired blades and find its mechanical properties with regards to different materials, dimensions and alignment. The study is to be undertaken with the help of data of different materials and their implementation in simulation software to optimize and understand the behaviour of such joints to tension, compression etc. This study will cover:

  1. The behaviour of the joint under tension, compression etc, in different materials
  2. The optimum dimensions and alignment that provide the best efficiency

INTEGRATED CANAL IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Our irrigation systems which are having many problems need to be improved. Our current irrigation system doesn’t have a proper communication system with farmers and the irrigation department. This problem is eliminated by implementing communication software in the irrigation field. The study investigates the potential of automated irrigation system to reduce the loss and improve efficiency in irrigation. This project focuses on the new communication and control platforms which can be used in future due to its various advantages of good and proper communication platform and much efficient supply of water and control of gates. The control of gates via wireless data transmission and use of sensors. Sensors collect data and are transmitted via wireless medium. The velocity of flow and time remaining all are calculated and made available for authorities, thus improving the overall efficiency of the system.

LIQUID SPEED BREAKER

Controlling vehicular speed is an important outcome in traffic management. One way of controlling speed is to use a speed breaker which produces distress to the driver while crossing over it. It plays a decisive role in implementing speed limits, thereby preventing over speeding of vehicles. It considerably assists to the overall road safety objective through the prevention of accidents. Newtonian fluid speed breaker reduces the speed of any speeding vehicles travelling on a roadway. If the speed of the vehicle is high the viscosity of the fluid is high and as a result has great resistance to deformation, thus forming a rigid obstacle to the movement of the vehicle. Drivers must slow down when driving over the conventional speed breaker to prevent damage to their vehicle. However, the non-Newtonian fluid speed breaker is sensitive to the speed of the vehicle. The vehicle needs to slow down only if it is over speeding.
The present work demonstrates the design and working of a liquid speed breaker using Oobleck as the non Newtonian fluid, thereby we could compare the liquid speed breaker with the conventional speed breaker and we can also understand the behavior of the liquid speed breaker very well. From the model study it is observed that the liquid speed breaker have many advantages over the conventional speed breaker by providing smooth and comfortable ride for the passengers.
