Abstract:

The main motive of the work is the development of a control system, power management system capable to improve the system robustness to avoid blackout, handle major power system faults, minimize the operational cost and keep the power system machinery components under minimal stress in all operational conditions. Today, the electric marine power system tends to have more system functionality implemented in integrated automation systems , steering gear , speed control , fire control , power, auto voltage regulation ,accuracy , reliability and precision are such opportunities in which automation has helped a lot in bringing out positive results. Unmanned Ships are the present day technology that helps in minimum man power to run entire ship making work easy and fast . It eliminates continuous supervision on the machines. An automated system may have a limited level of intelligence, and is therefore more susceptible to committing errors outside of its immediate scope of knowledge. Hence Automation has brought out innumerable oppurtunities for development on the other hand it also has considerable effect on the mankind giving less chance for utilization of man power.

Author:

KELVIN D ALMEDA AND RAM KESHAV

Abstract:

Silicon based high voltage semiconductor devices continue to play a major role in megawatt power electronics conversion especially in the fields of traction drives, industrial applications and grid systems. The main development trend of power devices has always been focused on increasing the power ratings while improving the overall device performance in terms of reduced losses, increased robustness, better controllability and reliable behavior under normal and fault conditions. The paper focuses on ultra-high voltage devices for applications in industries, which include power generation using the superconducting generators and the use of the ultra-modern superconducting motors for various applications. It describes the use of superconductors, specifically the use of high temperature superconductors (HTS) in applications of transport. This has its applications in the magnetic levitation (maglev) propulsion system, which in the near future would be used in trains and ships. Our paper briefly discusses the ‘superconducting electromagnetic propulsion’ technology that is under research for the use in ships.Major improvements in technology and applications are expected to bring a renaissance of superconductivity during the next 10–15 years. This will be based not on incremental progress in the existing technologies like MRI and HTS (high temperature superconductors), but rather on a radical breakthrough in a different, highly attractive and rapidly growing industry; clean energy, electronics, communications, transportation, defense, space and beyond are all set to take a giant leap into the future.

Abstract:                  

 In the past thirty years humanity has moved into a digital era where billions of people are connected via an ever advancing technological boom. Technological growth has led to changes in the ways in which humans communicate with one another and we are connecting in new ways on both physiological and emotional levels. New neural pathways are created as a result of using the internet and new relationships are being formed more quickly and by different avenues.  This paper brings together four largely disconnected lines  — that on  Transportation, Communication, Health, Safety  which shows a tremendous impact on humans  both mentally and physically. The burden of this paper is to point out the fundamental importance of technology in human life and to prove that "Technology is a key element of life". But  technology can be used for good or for ill, therefore The paper also keeps a bird's eye view on the widespread fear of technology ,lack of appreciation on its enormous positive side.

Abstract :

 

Before satellites, transmission were difficult or impossible at long distances. Satellites are in orbit, the signals can be sent instantaneously into space and then redirected to another satellite or directly to their destination. The signals which travel in straight line could not bend around the round earth to reach a destination far away. Previously polar satellites were used for the communication system but it will not so helpful in communication because can not provide continuous viewing of one location process because signal only transmitted along the poles and for the communication along the equator we have to use a satellite which revolve around the equator that's why communication satellites whose time period is equal to the time period of the earth. It will give the perfect communication process.

Abstract:

 

Maximising vessel utilizationby improving cargo carrying capacity while adhering to safety and environmental standards has always been the aim of the shipping industry.


To achieve this aim, numerous projects have been done primarily centred on increasing the engine power, increasing the size of the ship, reducing the drag and so on, however the avenue of reduction in ship weight has been neglected.

This paper focuses on a new concept that is the reduction of ship weight by the use of an aluminium foam sandwich.Aluminium foam is a type of metal foam known for its interesting combinations of physical and mechanical properties such as high stiffness in conjunction with very low specific weight and high compression strengths combined with good energy absorption characteristics.

 

This paper will attempt to convince the reader by analysing a sample hatch cover for its strength, weight and deflection. This paper has been backed up with Finite Element Modelling (FEM) to prove that aluminium foam sandwich is a viable alternative to steel.

Abstract:

 

 Smart Materials are still at the research and development stage and depend on potential applications to justify further investment in their commercial development. They may provide solutions to existing problems or new technical possibilities that would otherwise not be feasible. Some smart material applications already exist in marine which is generally regarded as conservative in adopting new materials and technologies. Other sectors such as the automotive, aerospace, railway and construction industries are more adventurous and have more experience of smart materials that could be adapted for marine applications. Smart materials considered here are Piezoelectric and Shape memory alloys.

 

The simplest definition of piezoelectric materials can be obtained by first breaking the word into two ( piezo and electric). Piezo is from the Greek word piezein that means to press tightly or squeeze. Combining piezein with electric we have ‘‘squeeze electricity.’’

 Piezoelectric materials generate an electric field along their surface when subject to mechanical stress which are used for Noise, vibration and damping control using variable rate materials in engine and machinery mountings.

 

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metals that "remember" their original shapes. Nickel-titanium alloys have been found to be the most useful of all SMAs. Other shape memory alloys include copper-aluminum-nickel, copper-zinc-aluminum, and iron- manganese-silicon alloys. SMAs are useful for such things as actuators which are materials that "change shape, stiffness, position, natural frequency, and other mechanical characteristics in response to temperature or electromagnetic fields. SMAs

are used as vibration absorber and also as shape controller or self repairing.

Abstract:

 Bucky paper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotube. The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. Originally, it was fabricated as a way to handle carbon nanotubes, but it is also being studied and developed into applications by several research groups, showing promise as vehicle armor, personal armor, and next-generation electronics and displays.

Buckypaper is a macroscopic aggregate of carbon nanotubes (CNT), or "buckytubes". It owes its name to the buckminsterfullerene, the 60 carbon fullerene (an allotrope of carbon with similar bonding that is sometimes referred to as a "Buckyball" in honor of R. Buckminster Fuller).

Buckypaper is one tenth the weight yet potentially 500 times stronger than steel when its sheets are stacked to form a composite. It could disperse heat like brass or steel and it could conduct electricity like copper or silicon. 

In particular, owing to their extraordinary thermal conductivity and mechanical and electrical properties, carbon nanotubes find applications as additives to various structural materials. For instance, nanotubes form a tiny portion of the material(s) in some (primarily carbon fiber) baseball bats, golf clubs, or car parts.

Since individual carbon nanotubes are one of the most thermally conductive materials known, buckypaper lends itself to the development of heat sinks that would allow computers and other electronic equipment to disperse heat more efficiently than is currently possible. This, in turn, could lead to even greater advances in electronic miniaturization.

As a smart material for smart future, Bucky paper can be used in many revolutionary fields like  Automobile, Aerospace, Electronics, Medical, Industrial purposes etc.

Abstract:

The new era of mechanised waterborne transport was marked by increased world trade, increased globalisation and also increased number of vessels. This increased number of vessels with time proved to be a source of disturbance for the aquatic organisms mainly aquatic mammals (whales). The noise (predominant amongst all sources- Propeller cavitation) produced by these added to the ambient noise levels of oceans and in many ways had a very detrimental impact on the species who were exposed to this. Thus, this became an area of interest for many (both environmentalists and ship industry) and various methods and techniques are being researched on for the mitigation of same.

Abstract:

Commercial ships calling at more and more ports worldwide can now turn off their diesel engines and tap into cleaner energy sources provided by electrical connections from shore. The technology to make this possible has been in place for over a decade. With a global technology standard due to be ratified by three technical bodies in 2010, high-voltage shore connections will soon get much more attention. Environmentally-minded ports, governments and ship owners are all tuning in to the benefits of supplying electricity to ships at berth. Here we present the challenge, the technical solution and the business case for all parties involved.This paper will explore the case for connecting merchant ships to shore-based power, including the expected benefits, regulations, the technology on ships and on shore, shore based power standardization and a brief look at the business case as seen from the perspective of ship owners and port operators. Assertions related to technology for shore-side electrical connections of ships to shore are based on ABB’s experience delivering this technology to both ports and ship owners for approximately a decade.

5. TOPIC : HULL DAMAGE INSPECTION VESSEL (HDIV)

 

ABSTRACT : The model is about an underwater inspection vehicle which can run through the entire ship’s hull using magnetism. This is economical and user friendly device with the help of which the cracks on ship’s hull using sound waves can be detected without the most expensive methods now being used. This vehicle will detect the crack and mark the exact location using fluorescent paints and also provide temporary blockage of water entering into the vessel. Now that the position of damage is precise, the underwater welders can easily do the rest of the job avoiding dry docking.

            Major highlights of this vehicle include fetching details of the crack via photo and video footage, temporary repair methods and also the extensibility of this equipment to be used in other industrial enclosed spaces where human encroachment is dangerous. By this we can improve the safety of the vessel economically and save lives of many.

6. TOPIC : MULTI-TERRAIN AMBULANCE

ABSTRACT :

 The recent incidents which took place in Rudraprayag,Uttarakhand which took away lives of many and left stranded even more made us to think of a multi-terrain lifesaver vehicle which can run through roads, mud and even through water. This is a modified amphibian vehicle that can save lives in disastrous conditions.

      This will be completely watertight with a capacity of 8-10 with crew including stretchers for emergency purposes including primary first-aid procedures.

     This vehicle is particularly going to be very useful in situation of flood rescue operations where due to bad weather conditions speed boats, helicopters and even hovercrafts fail. This vehicle can run through roads via mushy ways because it has large hind wheels especially like a tractor and modifiable wheels which can act as paddle wheels while moving through water.

    The major highlights of this vehicle include better manoeuvrability than speedboats and hovercrafts, easy to handle and drive even though it is all-terrain vehicle, safe and efficient in saving lives and can be of very use especially in cases where helicopters and other security prevention techniques fail due to bad weather conditions

7. TOPIC : SYRINGE HYDRAULIC ARM

 

ABSTRACT : This model presentation outlines the basic considerations and design objectives established for a modular artificial arm system activated by hydraulic pressure. The effects of physical disability and the clinical need for functional devices are presented in the light of previous experience with powered artificial limbs at many places. The engineering philosophy pointing toward the use of hydraulic power was evolved in an effort to exploit the advantageous characteristics of the pneumatic and the electromechanical system, without inheriting some of their innate drawbacks. The main function of the arms is to deliver the terminal devices to the work site. The design of a multifunctional cosmetic hand, developed specifically to be operated by external power, forms an integral part of a total-system approach. The arm provides for the need of various industries as well as where human reach is difficult or impossible. Since the design and implementation of the arm is simple, it expands its use more in future
