The book is aimed at developing an insight into the prevalent technology development practices adopted in the manufacturing industry for realizing sustainable growth and development of the industrial sector. It appears that creativity and innovation flourish only under the right circumstances in an organization. Without doubt the most innovative companies of the future will be dominated by those that do not simply focus energies upon product and technical innovation, but those who have managed to build enduring environments of human communities striving towards innovation through the creation of appropriate cultures and climate.
Concrete, the highest consumed material in construction field having high compressive strength with low tensile strength plays a high risk to encounter the torsional loads. Wrapping on three sides is a most common technique. So far no work has been reported regarding the improvement/beneficial aspects of "U" wrapping using ferrocement under torsional loads. A preliminary experimental investigation was taken up to study whether other types of wraps are effective in resisting the torsion or not. Development of analytical model, Validation of analytical model and Comparison of torsional capacity of RC beams with "U" wraps, with full wraps and without wrapping. The work is divided into four phases such as Development of Analytical Model, Experimental work on Normal strength beams, Experimental works on High strength Beams and Validation of Analytical model. The torque twist response of a ferrocement "U" wrap reinforced beam is more influenced by the state of torsion than the amount of mesh reinforcement of ferrocement. Transversely over reinforced concrete beams showed overall increase in torque, twist and toughness over longitudinally over reinforced beams with "U" wrap.
This book deals with the fundamental concepts of digital signal processing. We have attempted to explain the basic principles and concepts in a simple and lucid way so that students can understand the fundamentals with clarity. We have explained various concepts by giving lot of examples. We would advise the students to have a strong back- ground of signals and systems as the prerequisite for a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing. KEY FEATURES: - - Most of the topics are written in simple English and many examples are worked out for the benefit of the students. - Each chapter begins with a brief introduction and ends with practice problems. - Theoretical concepts are well explained. - Accurate and detailed derivations are provided in this book. - Design procedures for digital filters are illustrated with clarity. - Two sets of model question papers are provided for students' reference. - DSP lab programs using MATLAB, DSP Processor (TMS320C6748) and Simulink are also included.
