Study of rapid application development tools for computer integrated manufacturing applications

100 p.Today, manufacturers compete on a global scale and the business environment is dynamic. System developers need to develop applications faster. These applications should be flexible for changes. Waterfall method in System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has sequential execution of Requirement Analysis and Design is considered rigid and inflexible for fast changes. Therefore, Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool is considered as an alternate to SDLC. RAD life cycle has the following four phases: • Requirement Planning Phase • User Design Phase • Construction Phase • Cutover PhaseMaster of Science (Computer Integrated Manufacturing

Analysis of fractional order inductive transducers

Inductive sensors have been widely used for precise measurement of position, displacement, temperature and pressure as they are extremely reliable in the harsh industrial atmosphere. In this paper, fractional order models of inductive transducers namely fractional order variable reluctance inductive transducer and fractional order resonant inductive transducer are developed and its characteristics are analysed. The impact of fractional order parameter on the characteristics like sensitivity and nonlinearity of the fractional order transducer are studied. The results are enriched when a fractional order inductor is connected in parallel to the fractional order resonant inductive transducer
