<p class="Default"><span lang="EN-IN">This paper presents the design and simulation of a complaint mechanism, emphasizing precision implementation through various studies and principles. The modeling of the complaint mechanism is conducted using CREO software, while both static and dynamic analyses are performed using ANSYS software. Through static analysis involving force considerations, the paper deduces the deflection of motion, noting that the XY structure deformation mirrors the elongation of an S-shaped cantilever beam. Comparative assessments between observed results and analytical calculations are then made. The study underscores the superior precision offered by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) design, particularly attributed to its symmetric constraint structure.</span></p>Devakant D BaviskarA.S.

2024-01-222024-01-22921710.37628/ijsmfe.v9i2.1587Enhancing the Performance of Vertical Cryogenic Insulated Cylinders: A Study on Neck Tube Thermal Stress using ANSYS Software
https://journalspub.info/mechanical/index.php?journal=JSMFE&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1573
<p>An essential supporting component of cryogenic insulated cylinders is the neck tube. The root of the neck tube, which serves as a crucial support structure between the inner and outer vessels in cryogenic insulated cylinders, turns out to be the weakest link due to a hole in the inner upper end for joining. This paper's major goal is to offer research on thermal stress analysis and the optimal construction of cryogenic cylinders' neck tube support systems under internal pressure, self-weight, lateral inertia load, and temperature difference using ANSYS tools. This research examines a variety of neck tube shapes as well as cryogenic cylinders with various height-diameter (H/D) ratios. By using the finite element analysis approach, a parametric evaluation of the impacts of neck tubes on the maximum stresses in the vessels under various loading circumstances was carried out. Since the stress concentration primarily occurs around where the inner upper heads open, the impact of the reinforcing ring on the stress distribution is also studied. The study's findings will be used as the available information for designing and improving cryogenic cylinder structures.</p>Naveen TripathiShailendra KumarVikash Dwivedi

https://journalspub.info/mechanical/index.php?journal=JSMFE&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1572
<p>Battery packs are the most significant and basic component of the electric vehicle system, and it therefore matters to analyse their operational metrics. Numerous Batteries that are used as energy storage devices for transporting needed energy have many upsides, such as minimal or no combustion, light weight, and more convenient charging and discharging cycles. However, when overcharged, these batteries experience many not beneficial temperature effects, as well as mechanical distortion in the case of improper battery package assembly. The battery's measurements of performance, such as the state of charge, voltage, and current, get impacted by this. Similar to many hybrid electric cars, much research is being done on another power source. When a battery fails to deliver high power density, a capacitor, which is a new and active research technology, can. Supercapacitor disadvantages with high power include rapid draining and protection against charging extra and over discharging. Therefore, it needs to be done to research the charging and discharging properties of both the battery and supercapacitor in order to create an effective hybrid energy storage device. The recently introduced hybrid energy storage device will combine the greatest qualities of an A super capacitor and a battery for improved structural and thermal behavior. The current study analyses an experimental analysis of the evolution of lithium-ion battery and A super capacitor characteristics, initially on an independent basis and eventually with their hybridization. A lithium-ion battery pack of circular battery cells with a 20Ah and 12V capacity that can operate for two hours in parallel, and series has been built through battery calculations for around 100 watts of energy productivity. Like this, four capacitors with individual ratings of 2.7 V and 500 Farad have been placed in series. During the depletion of the battery and supercapacitor, a 12 watt BLDC motor is being used as a load. The Novel energy storage systems utilized in electric autos are going to have the same results validated thorough simulation using Matlab and Simulink. </p><p> </p>Ravikant K. NanwatkarDeepak S.

https://journalspub.info/mechanical/index.php?journal=JSMFE&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1571
<p>Three different forms of electric vehicle modeling—Multi Scale Multi- Dimensional, Newman Tiedemann Gu and Kim, and Equivalent Circuit Model—are compared in this essay. Both battery packs and single cells can be modelled using this method. Li-ion battery. ECM was discovered to be a trustworthy solution for modelling electric vehicles. In an equivalent circuit concept, an electric circuit represents how a battery behaves. It uses an electric circuit made up of a resistor, capacitor, and OCV to mimic the behavior of a battery. The lifespan and dissipation of electric batteries are of primary interest. In battery modelling, maximum battery life and low power dissipation are crucial. Maximum battery life and low power dissipation are crucial for portable devices. Whenever engineers have reliable and efficient battery and circuit models at their disposal, they can anticipate and optimize battery endurance and performance in the circuit. As a result, the project's suggested idea is to assess performance metrics utilizing a 2RC circuit for an electric car battery, particularly a Li-ion battery. The effort will begin with MATLAB Simulink-based statistical modelling of the ECM along with examination of its implementation.</p>Kaustubh S KshirsagarGautam V. PiseNikhil T. GundRameshwar S.

https://journalspub.info/mechanical/index.php?journal=JSMFE&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1574
<p>The internal combustion (ICE) engine crankshaft is a high-volume manufacturing component with a complicated shape. This converts the piston's reciprocating displacement into the crank's rotating motion. In this research, an effort is made to investigate how geometry modification might increase the fatigue life of a single-cylinder engine crankshaft. SOLIDWORK software was used to construct the modelling of the original and optimised crankshaft, which was then imported for analysis into ANSYS software. Using the ANSYS software and applying boundary conditions, finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to determine the dangerous area, maximum stress point, and life of the original and optimized crank shaft. The fillet sections between the crank web and crankshaft journal are where the most stress is present. Tetrahedral elements are used to mesh the crankshaft geometry in the finite element model. Crank pin and journal fillets are subjected to mesh refinement to provide fine mesh in these regions, which are often critical elements of the crankshaft. Fatigue is the main cause of failure, and it started the crankshaft failure in the fillet region of the journal.</p><p>By reducing the crankpin fillet radius and adding 25.88% stress reduction to the crankpin diameter adjustment, geometry optimization resulted in a 15% stress reduction and a 62.55% life optimization for the crankshaft. The outputs of the ANSYS programme are then used to calculate the Von-Miss stress, shear stress, and crankshaft life. As a consequence of geometry optimization parameters, modifications in the crankshaft model's crankpin fillet radius and diameter result in a rise in fatigue life.</p>Ajay Kumar SinghAdarsh Kumar

https://journalspub.info/mechanical/index.php?journal=JSMFE&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1561
<p>The paper focused on application of ANOVA in predicting statistical model of four non-edible oils based biodiesel using design expert 6.0.8 tool. The response surface methodology using Central composite rotatable design is applied to design the experiments and the biodiesel yield of Jatropha, Karanja, Mahua, Polanga oils is to be measured. The optimum process parameters for biodiesel yield are predicted through desirability approach. It has been observed that a design engineer can select any of the solution out of the various predicted optimum solution depending upon the type of biodiesel.</p>Sunil Dhingra
