An elastomer is a polymer with the property of viscoelasticity generally having notably low Young's modulus and high yield strain compared with other materials. The elastomer which is used in our project is styrene-butadiene rubber. The drilling of elastomer work piece is not easy since it can easily deform. Hence the desired output cannot be obtained. By designing a proper fixture layout, the drilling of elastomer can be done accurately. The fixture design requires accurate positioning of locators and clamps to reduce the deformation of work piece during drilling. In this work six locators and three clamps are used. The primary design layout is done and then it is analyzed in ANSYS to find out the work piece deformation. The various possible design layouts are formed using L27 orthogonal array by MINITAB Software. Then all the 27 layouts are analyzed using ANSYS and the deformation values are found. The optimal layout is found using DOE -Taguchi method from MINITAB Software by giving the 27 layouts and the corresponding deformation values as inputs. From the obtained SN ratio graph, the optimal fixture layout is found for minimum deformation of the work piece.
Presently there is an increase in the use of chemicals for cultivation of plants. This has affected the general health of the consumers. The aim of this current study is to assess the germination, growth and yield of Cucumis sativus using homoeopathic Biochemic medicines Calcarea phosphoricum 3X, Calcarea sulphurica 3X and Silicea 3X. Total of 40 samples were used, dividing them into 4 groups of 10 each randomly. The intervention Placebo, Calcarea phosphoricum 3X, Calcarea sulphurica 3X and Silicea 3X were administered to the corresponding groups. The results were recorded, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The study has shown statistically significant difference among 4 groups. Overall study shows that Calcarea phosphoricum 3X has shown significant effect on germination, growth and yield of Cucumis sativus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
