Project Work

B.tech project:

Design and Fabrication of low speed Wind Tunnel

After design and calculations for the wind tunnel parts, an airfoil (NACA

63-215) has been selected by plotting the coordinates of the foil.

Materials has been selected and wind tunnel parts has been fabricated.

Wooden ply with mild steel used for the fabrication of wind tunnel.

Assembly of components has been done. The overall length of the tunnel was

10ft. Test section length was 50cm. Settling chamber was 60cm. Contraction

ratio was 4 and honeycomb thickness was 10cm. Exhaust fan used was H.P.

Selected airfoil has been tested in the tunnel with the air as a medium.

Profile view has been done on airfoil to visualize the way air moves around

model with smoke as a medium.

Mini Project:

Fabricate the thrust reversal from scrap:

A dustbin has been used as the engine attached to it was thrust

reversal(made up of cardboard) which was hydraulic operated. The hydraulic

operation was achieved with the help of Medical syringes.

Mini Robotics Projects:

> Fabrication and programming of Line follower robot which follows the

black line. IR Sensor was mounted in the front of the axle to sense

the light.

> Fabrication and programming of Obstacle avoidance and Pid avoidance

robot which was capable of avoiding obstacle in static environment.

Ultrasonic sensor was used to sense the obstacle.

> Fabrication and programming of Biped robot which was capable of

walking and avoiding obstacle.

> Fabrication and programming of Biologically Inspired Hexapod(Six leg

Crawling robot) made up of acrylic sheets.

> Fabrication and programming Robotic arm using acrylic sheets. Robot

was programmed using Arduino microcontroller.

M.tech project:

Kinematic modeling and mathematical analysis of Quad rotor with application

of self-stabilizing and steady hover

Kinematic Modeling of Quadrotor was done with Earth inertial reference

(E-frame) and Body-fixed reference (B-frame). The coordinate system is

aligned such that rotor 1 is pointing in the same direction as the positive

x-axis. The orientation of the quadrotor was described as a parametrization

of the 3 x 3 transformation matrix, transforming vectors from the earth

frame to the body frame. The kinematic modeling was done using Euler Angle

Representation. Mathematical Analysis of Quadrotor was done using

translational and rotational motion of the frames. IMU Sensor was designed

by combination of 2-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer on a bread

board. IMU sensor was tuned manually. PID cntroller was tuned to the

desired settling and overshoot value and implemented on the board. 3-D

model was fabricated using Autocad 2011. The quadrotor was in a square

shape with length of each side is 0.6 meters. The model was tested on

testbench for PID tuning. The tehered testing of the model was done. The

quadrotor had gain the stability and the oscillations had been reduced to a

large extent.

Projects Undertaken

Design and Analysis of a Multi-Section Variable Camber Wing

The aerodynamic characteristics of a multi-section, variable camber

wing was investigated. Airfoil selected for baseline (symmetrical) rigid

configuration is NACA 0015 with chord length 19.5 cm and span 20 cm and the

results were plotted. Airfoil selected for cambered rigid configuration is

NACA 6615 with chord length 19.7cm and span 20 cm. The model was designed

in CATIA. Lift and drag force was calculated using ANSYS. The fabricated

model was having a 19.7cm chord and a 20cm wingspan, with the ribs divided

into 3 sections such that section will be made to rotate approximately 1

degree without causing significant discontinuity on the wing surface

manually. The model has been tested in subsonic wind tunnel. The analytical

values and the experimental values has been compared.The multi-section

variable camber wing model was providing up to 10 per cent change in camber

from the baseline configuration.

Design and stability analysis of Micro-air-vehicle (MAV)

Model developed was of very small area having wing span 500 mm having

attachable module structure. Preliminary design process and complete

analysis over a designed model by using design software ansys along with

analytical calculation has been done. The objective for designing such MAV

is to fulfill the basic requirements for MAV for military missions relate

to surveillance operations due to their small size and video transmission

capabilities. The motto will be accomplished(under process) by

incorporating autopilot system in designed model. After completion of the

research work this MAV can be carry anywhere with easy handling and can be

assembled and disassembled within 30 sec. The cruise speed and endurance of

the model will be 17 m/s and about 30 min respectively.
