Structural Response Of A Slotted Bridge Pier Under Blast Loading Using Finite Element Analysis

Bridge pier is a crucial part for the transportation in marine structures. Scouring is a major cause for the failure of the pier. slot among the other countermeasures increases the efficiency of scour reduction and minimizes the failure due to scour.as we provide the slot; the strength of the pier reduces compared to the conventional pier. change in reinforcement pattern in slotted bridge pier changes the behavior of the pier under similar loading conditions. blast occurrence has increased in recent times and rehabilitation of a structure and improvement of strength against explosion is necessary in structure. this paper studies the behavior of slotted bridge pier under blast loading and compares theoretical and analytical aspects for the same. Design criteria for blast load according to NCHRP 12-72 are followed to carry out theoretical load response of the pier under blast loading. Analytically the behavior of pier is checked using coupled eulerian lagrangian approach using ABAQUS software. a detailed eulerian domain and slotted pier with reinforcement is assembled in ABAQUS to analyze the behavior of pier under explosion using TNT of 100kg at a scaled distance of 4ft for the period of 0.02seconds. this design gave better result in terms of mitigating effects of blast on slotted bridge pier

A Hybrid Efficient PV-Battery Powered LED Lighting Scheme

As we all know now a day�s developing countries across Asia and Africa are hit with the serious energy crisis. So To fulfill the power demand people started looking towards renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind energy. In this paper fully controlled, flexible and self-adjusting LED lighting PV-Battery powered scheme using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching and controlled by a dual-loop error driven, time de-scaled, WM proportional-integral-derivative (WM-PID) control scheme for the PV-battery interfaced to the LED load. It decreases the amplitude of transient voltage and minimize inrush current for balancing common DC bus to the LED load. The new adjustable controller uses a directed dual-loop error-driven, error-time descaled controller for the PWM switching along with MOSFET/IGBT switches. The dual-action regulator uses error driven weighted modified (WM-PID) proportional-integral-derivative controller with quick response auxiliary derivative loops to achieve efficient control action

Image Inpainting A Review of the Underlying Different Algorithms and Comparative Study of the Inpainting Techniques

Inpainting also known as retouching is the process by which we try to fill in the damaged or missing portions of an image in such a way that it is unable for the person seeing the image to find the fault within the image. Digital Image In painting, a relatively young research area is an art of filling in the missing or corrupted regions in an image using information from the neighboring pixels in a visually plausible manner, while restoring its unity. It is helpfully used for object removal in digital photographs, image reconstruction, text removal, video restoration, special effects in movie discussions and so on. There are numbers of method used for image inpainting. All methods have their own advantage and disadvantages. This paper presents a comparative study and review of different image in painting techniques. The algorithms are analyzed theoretically as well as experimentally
