This document summarizes the free vibration analysis of a plate under free-free boundary conditions. The analysis was conducted using ANSYS software. Modal analysis was performed to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the plate. Experimental modal testing was also conducted and the results were compared to the numerical analysis. The MAC (Modal Assurance Criterion) was calculated to determine the correlation between experimental and numerical mode shapes. The best correlation was seen in the first and third modes, while the second mode showed the worst correlation. Further work is needed to improve the correlation between numerical model and experimental results.
Frontier Semiconductor develops non-contact stress metrology techniques for flexible electronics using polarized light. Their FSM 128 FPD G6 tool uses photoelastic principles and polarimetry to measure local stress in flexible materials like polyimide films with high sensitivity.

The prediction of process performance is essential to select the control parameters for obtaining the goals of production. Ultrasonic machining is popular material removal process brittle materials like glass, ceramics etc. Glass is a widely used engineering material in number of engineering applications like microscopy, optics etc. In this paper, experiments are conducted to obtain data regarding the effect of process parameters on ultrasonic slitting in common glass. Amplitude, pressure and thickness of the glass sheet are chosen as control parameters. Three levels of each of these parameters are selected giving 33 = 27 trials. Material removal rate (MRR), overcut (OC), taper produced on the slits are determined as response parameters. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is developed to capture relationship between control and response parameters as a predictive tool to predict the performance of the process.
Distance transforms and correlation maps for advanced 3D analysis of impact d...Fabien L辿onard
油
The document presents a new method for analyzing impact damage in composite materials using X-ray computed tomography. The method uses distance transforms and correlation maps to segment damage by ply and provide qualitative and quantitative damage metrics for each ply. It was shown to better represent the complex 3D morphology of impact damage compared to previous methods. The ply-by-ply damage separation allows understanding how damage evolves with increasing impact energy and improves understanding of damage failure modes. The new method can be applied to analyze impact damage in other laminated materials beyond polymer composites.
The document summarizes the results of a static simulation analysis conducted on a new wind turbine profile model with shear webs. The maximum von Mises stress was found to be 3.11583e+007 N/m^2 and the maximum resultant displacement was 4916.33 mm. Introducing shear webs reduced the resultant displacement by 10% compared to a model without shear webs, providing reinforcement against flexural loads. However, further analytical validation of the study results is required.

Determination of strength and stress-strain relationships of a cylindrical specimen of reconstituted specimen using Consolidated Drained (CD) Triaxial Test.
1. A series of drained triaxial tests under four different initial states were conducted on Yamuna River sand. The results consist of simple stress-strain relation, change in volume behaviour were plotted.
2. Basic stress-strain relation with volume behaviour was presented in plot. The results for densely prepared sand samples show an expected behaviour. There is a significant difference in peak and residual deviatoric stress (q) as can be depicted form the plot.
3. With increase in confining stress, load carrying capacity of specimen increases.
4. Saturation value B must be acquired to be more than 0.95 before starting the isotropic consolidation phase in CD test.
5. CD tests are performed at much slower strain rate as compared to CU tests for the same soil. The strain rate for CD test can be chosen approx. 8-10 times lower than the CU test.
6. It is important to have no pore water pressure generation throughout the shearing phase of CD test or in other words strain rate must be so small that pore water pressure must get dissipated quickly when specimen is subjected to compression loading in CD test.
7. In CD test, volumetric strain versus axial strain relationship shows contractive response for NC soils and dilative response for OC soils. (NC = Normally consolidated, OC = Over consolidated)

This document describes a seminar on pulse laser micro polishing (PL亮P) that investigates the effect of laser pulse duration on surface roughness reduction. It presents theoretical predictions showing that longer pulse durations attenuate longer wavelength surface features. An experimental study is conducted using near-infrared laser pulses to polish Ti6Al4V surfaces produced by micro end milling at pulse durations of 650ns, 1.91亮s, and 3.6亮s. Results show up to 70% reduction in surface roughness and cross-sectional analysis indicates longer pulse durations produce deeper heat affected zones. Overall, the study finds that longer pulse durations result in smoother polished surfaces.

Particle Learning in Online Tool Wear Diagnosis and PrognosisJianlei Zhang, PhD
油
Automated Tool condition monitoring is critical in intelligent manufacturing to improve both productivity and sustainability of manufacturing operations. Estimation of tool wear in real-time for critical machining operations can improve part quality and reduce scrap rates. This paper proposes a probabilistic method based on a Particle Learning (PL) approach by building a linear system transition function whose parameters are updated through online in-process observations of the machining process. By applying PL, the method helps to avoid developing a complex closed form formulation for a specific tool wear model. It increases the robustness of the algorithm and reduces the time complexity of computation. The application of the PL approach is tested using experiments performed on a milling machine. We have demonstrated one-step and two-step look ahead tool wear state prediction using online indirect measurements obtained from vibration signals. Additionally, the study also estimates remaining useful life (RUL) of the cutting tool inserts.

The student set up experiments using a fiber laser, function generator, oscilloscope and aluminum plate to study the propagation of laser-induced acoustic waves. Parameters like laser position, number of pulses and magnets were varied. Finite element simulations were also conducted using temperature loading functions. Results from experiments agreed reasonably well with simulations. Analysis of displacement profiles indicated the dominant wave mode was an S0 Lamb wave. Future work could include noise reduction, automated scanning and inverse imaging for damage detection.
The document summarizes X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. XRD relies on the scattering of X-rays from the regular atomic structure of crystalline materials to produce a diffraction pattern that can identify materials and measure lattice parameters. Bragg's law relates the diffraction pattern peak positions to the atomic spacing. XRD equipment consists of an X-ray source, sample holder, and detector that measures diffraction as the sample or detector is rotated. Indexing assigns Miller indices to peaks to determine the unit cell. Lattice parameters are then calculated from peak positions and Bragg's law.

2. INTRODUCTION
Vibration is the major unacceptable property associated
with any solid material by virtue of its stiffness.
Vibration is capable of destroying any structure within its
design life due to its feature of high amplitude in
resonance stage.
Here only free vibration of plate is concerned under free-
free condition.
As the title suggests no external exciting force is acting on
plate.
3. OBJECTIVE
Another notable feature of project is free-free condition i.e. each element is free to displaced in
all 6 directions(3 translational and 3 rotational).
Free-freevibrational analysisisused for determination of behavior of airplanesand ships.
Analysishelpsin determination of frequency of different modesof vibration which would help in
designing structuressafefrom view of resonance.
4. AUTHENTICITY OF RESULT
Free-free vibration analysis is the simplest technique for checking
authenticity of different softwares results regarding any plate
vibration. Correlation between experimental & theoretical modal
shapes can be done by calculation of MAC. If MAC value lies
between 0.9 to 1, both resultsaresaid to in good correlation.
Thus it helps in updation of simple FE assumptions regarding
structural geometry, boundary conditions, material propertiesetc.
5. NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

Thickness of plate is 5 mm.
Modulus of elasticity of plate is 2x1011 N/m2 and Poissons ratio is 0.3.
For free-free condition degree of freedom assumed per node is 6.
Thus element is selected properly which could satisfy the criteria stated above.
7. ELEMENTPROPERTIES
Shell elements are typically planarelements.
They are used to model thin structures which will experience bending.
Element features: -
6 DOFpernode (3 translations and 3 rotations) for3-Delements.
Bending modes are included.
More than 1 stress at each point on the element.
8. MESHING AND SOLVER
Plate is divided into 10X10 meshes.
Mode is extracted by Block Lanczos method.
No of modes extracted is 12.
Now solution is done with help of solver.
Results are obtained by plotting different modes of vibration pattern in general prospect.
Here first three modes of vibration shows zero frequency and after that consecutive
three modes are showing frequency of 222.79,326.35,404.07 respectively.

An Impact hammer
(B&K type 8206)
Unidirectional piezoelectric CCLD accelerometer
(B&K type 4507)
B & K modal analysis set up
13. EXPERIMENTAL SET-UP
B & K Data acquisition
system (Photon plus)
Freely hanging plate with copper wire Modal analysis software RT pro
14. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Here wave pulse shows response of B&K hammer
and plate via CCLD accelerometer after hammering
at a particular node of plate.
Hammering is said to be perfect if only one peak is
obtained in hammer response.
Only perfect hammering data is accepted.
For each node five hammering is done.
15. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
Here wave pulse shows the actual plate
vibration pattern.
Peak is studied near to frequency
obtained in numerical analysis.
Only those peaks are valid where phase
angle is 90 or -90
Data is taken by hammering at various
nodes.

16. DATA ACQUISITION
Proper dataafter hammering for each nodeisstored in form of
.UNV file.
Experiment on 5 mm thick plateisdoneby dividing it into 5X5
meshesi.e. it consistsof 36 nodes. Henceafter wholeexperiment
36 unv filesarecreated.
All thesedatafilesaregiven asinput in pulse-reflex which in turn
providesnatural frequencies, damping, +z displacement of each
nodefor different modes.

21. MODAL ASSURANCE CRITERION
The criteria to be fulfilled by experimental modal
vectors are MAC.
The experimental mode shape should be compatible
with the numerical mode shapes so that they are
consistent in nature.
MAC values provides a quantitative confidence factor
whether the mode shapes obtained experimentally are
in good correlation with those obtained numerically
22. MAC CALCULATION
MACij =
{陸i} experimental mode shape vectors
{率j} numerical analysis mode shape vectors

value of MAC varies from 0 to 1.
For good correlation it should lie between 0.9 to 1.

24. OBSERVATIONS
One of the major observation which can be drawn is
that first three modes of vibration shows zero frequency
in numerical analysis.
The probable reason behind such phenomena is
representing the rigid body motion of plate where no
vibration occurred.
Based on available data error observed is 4.74%.
25. OBSERVATIONS
Best MAC values had been observed for 1st and 3rd mode of
vibration with 0.863 and 0.855 respectively.
Worst MAC value had been observed for 2nd mode of
vibration with 0.57.
Here it should be noticed that inspite of very less error in
frequency values of all five modes, experimental and FE model
cant be said to be in good correlation from mode shape point
of view.
26. FUTURE ASPECTS
Further verification of results is necessary. Experiment should
be revised again and compared with numerical results.
If MAC values are not proper than assumptions regarding
structural geometry, boundary conditions made for numerical
analysis should be revised.
It is very much necessary that analytical results would be a true
representation of actual behavior of structure not only in view of
frequency but also deflections, bending moment, shear force.
