Abstract: The main objective of the study is to determine the workability and compressive strength of concrete. Many experiments carried out by replacing cement with different proportions of silica fume and adding different proportions of fibers into the mix. The silica fume was replaced by 5% and 10% of cement and fiber content ranging from 0 to 1% i.e. 0%, 0.15%, 0.3%, 0.6%, 1.0% of cement is used. In total 20 numbers of mixes were casted, 4 with only fibers and this 5 were separately mixed for 5%, 7.5% and 10% silica fume and of course one is for controlled concrete. For all mixes workability test is carried out for fresh concrete and compressive strength and flexure strength were determined at 7 and 28 days. The results of all of the mixes were compared with controlled concrete. The results showed that the mix having silica fume by 7.5% and fiber content by 0.3% has better performance.

Abstract: Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) is widely utilized for joining purpose especially in automobile industry and fabrication of sheet metal due to its robustness, speed, flexibility and low cost operation. In any car, there are 3000-6000 spot welds which show the level importance of the resistance spot welding. It is a complicated process, which involves interactions of thermal, mechanical, electrical and metallurgical phenomenon. Controlling the welding parameters plays an important role on the quality of the weld. It depends on the resistance of the base metal and the amount of current flowing to produce the heat necessary to make the spot weld. There are various process parameters (weld current, weld time, electrode force) which affect the weld nugget and its strength. So it is necessary to optimize the process parameters of resistance spot welding process. The experimental studies have been conducted under varying pressure, current & time on quality characteristic, Hardness and Weld life. In this paper, various optimization techniques are discussed and the uses of the Taguchi method to determine the optimum process parameters are reported. This is because the Taguchi method is a systematic application of design and analysis of experiments for the Purpose of designing and improving product quality at the design stage. Welding parameters settings were determined by using the Taguchi experimental design method. The level of importance of the welding parameters on the tensile shear strength is determined by using analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Abstract: Welding engineering has undergone with a various changes in processes and materials to meet the requirement of customers and low welding cost in a present global competitive time. Large scale and high rate of production of components using sheet metal has been possible only due to resistance welding processes which have the dual advantage of making joints quickly and with minimum distortion. It is working on the principle that heat is generated by the resistance offered to the flow of current. Resistance welding processes include spot welding, seam welding, projection welding, flash welding, percussion welding, upset butt welding, high frequency resistance welding and high frequency induction welding. The process parameters affect upon Resistance Spot Welding (RSW) are welding current, resistance, time, electrode force, cooling water flow, electrode shape, sheet metal surface condition, etc. There is a various effects of process parameters interaction on final weld quality. There are different methods to get optimum weld quality by changing process parameters and their values. Artificial intelligence and neural network is also used to predict the resistance spot welded weldment quality.

The design uses and reflects the fundamental concepts of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), Embedded Systems and Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The Simulation and Realization of the design of the proposed system is carried out using MATLAB-Simulink. It provides the highly precise, fully analog as well as improved digitalized processed, fully amplified and real time audio music output with user specified audio parameters controls like Bass, vocal and treble. Analog system also supports the additional functionality of amplifying and playing the FM Radio. The Audio synthesizer is used for tuning the music on different band of frequencies. Multi-channel mixers are used for mixing different songs with different frequencies. 6 bands equalizer is used for balancing gain of the tones in analog system, while in digital the 13 band equalizer configured with Direct Form-II Structure of Butterworth Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) Band-pass Filter using the concepts of DSP is used to achieve user friendly filtering and balancing of the gain of tones like vocal, Bass and Treble of audio input. Separate Master Bass and Treble Control unit is provided for the user friendly control of desired Bass and Treble of audio input in analog system, while in digital system user can control master volume by controlling the gain of loudness level of the song with the help of user friendly sliding bar control. In analog system there is a pre-amplifier before the equalizer input and at the final stage there is 3000W high power amplifier for the stereo speaker output, while in digital system the final amplified output is fed to various output analyzing devices such as Speaker, Vector Scope, Time Scope, Matrix Viewer and spectrum scope in MATLAB-Simulink. In analog system, a sound level indicator and VU meter units are present for the indication of sound loudness and dB gain of the particular frequency, respectively. The whole analog system is based on just a single 230V and 4A of the power source. The proposed system proves to be more economical kit useful for professionals especially for the DJ Systems as well as for academic and analysis purposes. The proposed design offers the scope of future expansions.
