Concrete is an indispensable construction material of modern age. The properties of concrete are greatly dependant on the constituents, workmanship, water-cement ratio, compaction, curing etc. Direct assessment of the strength of concrete is not possible because direct tests induces destructive stresses and causes failure of the structure. So the concrete strength is tested using standard specimens made with the same mix as that of the structure. But the test specimens can vary from the actual structure in properties due to difference in compac ....etc

Embedded systems are computing devices that are radically different from normal desktop computers in terms of the specific requirements of the application for which they are used. Characteristics such as reactivity, robustness, power, size and cost issues force certain design constraints which are otherwise obviated or trivial. Traditional computer design methodologies do not fully address essential design issues critical to system requirements. Certain issues peculiar to embedded systems have been identified and a few possible guidelines to r ....etc

Titanium matrix composites (TMCs) have been extensively evaluated for their potential to replace conventional superalloys in high temperature structural applications, as they provide significant weight-savings while maintaining comparable mechanical properties. Gamma titanium aluminide alloys and an appropriate fiber could offer an improved TMC for use in intermediate temperature applications (400-800°C). The purpose of this investigation is aimed at evaluating the potential of a gamma titanium aluminide alloy with nominal co ....etc

Ultrasonics and Acousto-Optics for the Nondestructive Testing of Complex Materials



Nondestructive testing has become an essential tool for failure prevention, conditionbased maintenance, structural health monitoring, as well as for quality control during production processes. Ultrasound and Acousto-Optics are applied to examine the mechanical properties of isotropic and anisotropic materials, and also to detect material defects. Fiber reinforced composites are ubiquitous in many industries, yet the interaction of ultrasound with such mat ....etc

This paper addresses the issue of exam paper evaluation using neural network. This paper foresees the possibility of using adaptive real time learning through computers viz. the student is made to feed his answers in a restricted format to the computer to the questions it puts up and the answers are evaluated instantaneously. This is accomplished by connecting the computers to a Knowledge Server. This server has actually connections to various authenticated servers (encyclopedias) that contain valid information about all the subject ....etc
