Multiphysics Analysis of a Magnetorheological Damper

     A Magnetorheological damping has evolved as a potential tool in vibration control. The design of magnetorheological damping involves analysis of fluid flow principles and electromagnetic flux analysis. This research paper involves design and analysis of a magnetorheological damper employed for vibration control. The analysis is carried over by considering the domain as an axisymmetric model. The damping force of the damper depends upon the shear stress due to fluid viscosity and yield stress induced due to magnetic flux applied. The damping force generated by the damper is calculated

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

Performance assessment on manufacturing of unfired bricks using industrial wastes

This paper presents eco-friendly unburnt bricks made up of fly ash, waste plastic powder, waste glass powder, lime, gypsum and crusher sand as alternatives to conventional burnt clay bricks for sustainable development. The research focuses on the maximum utilization of industrial waste in eco-friendly unburnt brick production. Materials are characterized according to their chemical and geotechnical properties. In this research, we use a milled waste glass powder of size less than 600μm and plastic powder obtained from plastic waste of size less than 600μm are added along with crushed sand, gypsum, lime and fly ash with various mix proportions concerning FaL-G mix concept. All the proportions were taken on a weight basis. Compressive strength, water absorption, and efflorescence are the key parameters chosen for comparing the innovative brick with conventional fly ash brick. There are five different mixes (Type A, B, C, D & E) are made in this research. The plastic and glass powders are replaced by crusher sand at the increased rate of 2% in every mix whereas 2%,4%,6%,8%, and 10%. It was found that the type B bricks have 17.63% strength was increased when compared to base mix. From the test results, type B bricks have enhanced mechanical performance when compared to all other mixes

Strategies for classifying water quality in the Cauvery River using a federated learning technique

Artificial intelligence methods are emerging techniques used in the field of environmental protection, especially in the analysis of air, water, and soil quality. AI analyzes vast amounts of environmental data to predict pollution and provide decision-makers with the information they need to develop efficient policies. One of the most important problems in environmental analysis is data security, and many organizations are actively working to ensure the secure collection, storage, and utilization of sensitive environmental data. In addition, organizations are focusing on developing strategies to protect their data from malicious attacks, such as cyber-attacks, as well as from accidental misuses, like unauthorized access. For this purpose, we have introduced a novel water quality prediction using the Federated Learning Technique. Federated learning enables multiple parties to collaborate and train a model on their local data without sharing it with others, thereby preserving data privacy. The proposed method is applied to a Cauvery River dataset of water quality parameters, and the results demonstrate that the PSO-optimized federated learning process achieves better prediction accuracy of 87%, a precision of 85%, a recall of 93%, and an 89% F1 score
