Analytical Study of Base Isolation- A Review

Now a days the rate of happening of seismic events increasing and due to that so many structures got collapsed or damaged. In order to reduce the damage to structures during earthquakes, now a days the base isolation system is widely adopted and used over the world. This paper makes a wide review on the various base isolation techniques adopted and used. Different types of isolating bearings and materials used in it are reviewed. Here the review is done for the isolation system in normal R.C buildings (regular and irregular in plan) and also for bridges. The effect of base isolation system on some historic structures is also reviewed. The various advantages and disadvantages of different isolating bearings are reviewed. Here the effect of temperature on some isolating devices are also reviewed

A Tale of Two Transients: GW 170104 and GRB 170105A

We present multi-wavelength follow-up campaigns by the AstroSat CZTI and GROWTH collaborations in search of an electromagnetic counterpart to the gravitational wave event GW 170104. At the time of the GW 170104 trigger, the AstroSat CZTI field of view covered 50.3% of the sky localization. We do not detect any hard X-ray (>100 keV) signal at this time, and place an upper limit of $\approx 4.5\times {10}^{-7}\,\mathrm{erg}\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-2}\,{{\rm{s}}}^{-1}$, for a 1 s timescale. Separately, the ATLAS survey reported a rapidly fading optical source dubbed ATLAS17aeu in the error circle of GW 170104. Our panchromatic investigation of ATLAS17aeu shows that it is the afterglow of an unrelated long, soft GRB 170105A, with only a fortuitous spatial coincidence with GW 170104. We then discuss the properties of this transient in the context of standard long GRB afterglow models

Automatic Car Braking System Using Using Pd Fuzzy Logic Controller

This paper deals with an automatic car braking system using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC). The purpose of this controller is to brake a car when the car approaches an obstacle at a specific range The response of the system will be simulated by using Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB. In this paper, Fuzzy Logic Controller is designed using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB and then compared with PI and PD type Fuzzy Logic Controller. The FLC system designed uses four rules and three membership function. Braking performance will be observed for each controller type in term of distance and velocity to prevent collision or accident
