Abstract: Advanced fibrous polymeric composites are one of the most successful composite material systems due to its wide range of advantages such as high specific strength and stiffness, fatigue properties and corrosion resistance. The polymer matrix is more susceptible to these changes than the fiber and thus dominates the mechanical behavior of FRP composites. Polymers are characterized as visco-elastic materials that their mechanical properties are strain rate dependent. The present experimental study aims at learning the mechanical behaviour of alkali treated chopped palm leaf stalk natural fiber polymer composites. Samples of are manufactured using hand layup method and the weight fraction of matrix and fiber is kept at 30% to 70%.Specimens are cut from the fabricated laminate according to the ASTM standards for different experiments like tensile test, flexural test, impact test and hardness test. Experiments are performed in a computerized Universal testing machine, Charpy Impact tester and Hardness tester. Result shows that, the trend in all the properties increased for alkali treated chopped fibers except for hardness value.

Vol 3, No 2 (2018): Execution Quantification in a Process Industry Using Analytic Network Process (ANP)

Authors:-S. Anivel, Dr. K. Manivannan

Abstract:-In this work a general idea about decision making models and Analytical Network Process (ANP) are introduced. The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a general theory of relative measurement used to derive priority ratio scales. Through its super matrix whose elements are themselves matrices of column priorities, the ANP captures the outcome of dependence within clusters of elements. The ANP is a new phase in decision making, neglected so far because of the linear structures used in traditional approaches and their inability to deal with feedback in order to choose alternatives. In this paper we will be using ANP to measure performance of cement production industry.

Vol 3, No 1 (2018): Time Carbon Footprint Accounting In Hybrid Machining Lines

Author :Dr. Kruthika Rajan

Abstract :Hybrid manufacturing lines—particularly those integrating laser cladding, precision milling, and automated inspection—present complex and interdependent flows of energy, materials, and emissions. These flows are typically non-linear and vary widely with process parameters such as re-clad depth, machine state transitions, and energy source fluctuations. To quantify and analyze these real-time variabilities, we present a novel integration of line-side programmable logic controller (PLC) data with internationally recognized emission benchmarks, specifically ISO 14067 standards for product carbon footprinting. Our approach enables high-resolution, second-level carbon footprint dashboards that reflect the instantaneous environmental impact of each machining operation. These dashboards fuse process-specific energy metrics (e.g., spindle power, gas flow, thermal cycles) with dynamic emission factors, allowing for transparent and time-synchronized carbon tracking throughout the production lifecycle.
A pilot deployment on a turbine blade remanufacturing cell revealed significant insights: the carbon footprint per part exhibited a variance of ±12%, primarily driven by differences in re-cladding volume and energy consumed during post-processing. Such fine-grained carbon accounting not only enhances environmental transparency but also enables data-driven decisions in procurement and supplier evaluation. Specifically, the variability captured in per-part emissions provides a robust foundation for implementing dynamic eco-supplier rating systems, where vendors can be ranked and rewarded based on verified real-time sustainability performance. This framework demonstrates how hybrid manufacturing environments can transition from static environmental reporting to live, actionable insights that drive greener and more accountable production strategies

Vol 3, No 1 (2018): The Elastic Spring Back Effect in Ti6Al4V Titanium Alloy with High Cutting Speeds on CNC End Milling Operation

Author: A. Sreenivasa Rao

Abstract :This paper shows the influence of the elastic spring back on, displacement, tool wear and surface roughness of titanium alloy with high cutting speeds in CNC milling operation. At these high cutting speeds, the chemical and mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V cause complex wear mechanisms. In this work, a carbide two flute end mill tool is tested, and its wear behavior is studied. The performance of the carbide tool has been investigated in terms of tool life, displacements, spring back and surface roughness. A slower wear progression was found with an increase in cutting speeds, whereas the norm is an exponential increase in tool wear at elevated speeds. Observations based on scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis shows that the spring back effect plays a major role in vibrations, surface roughness and tool wear.
