RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF ME DEPARTMENT
Mechanical engineering encompasses design of machine members, designing mechanical systems to take mechanical advantage in reducing manual effort, application of heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, metal fabrication, metal forming, designing of materials, mechanical behaviour of materials, renewable energy, etc. The final year students of mechanical engineering take up projects as a part of curriculum requirement that are designed to gain practical knowledge by the application of theory that the students have learnt during their four year course of engineering. Research in the department can be grouped into three major groups namely Materials and manufacturing, Engineering Design, and Thermal Engineering.
Research Plans
The Department formed research groups based on the academic interest and specialisation of the faculty with a senior faculty as Coordinator.
The functions of the research groups are:
Motivate the enthusiastic faculty to involve themselves in research in collaboration with other organisations.
Encourages the faculty to utilize the research facilities available in the college
Encourage the faculty to undertake major and minor research projects.
Ongoing Research
Design and Analysis of composite materials, Metal Matrix Composite (MMCs) Functionally graded Materials, Mechanics of Materials, Structural design of blades and rotating structures.
Thermal management in electronic components
Characterization of thermal and Mechanical Properties of Carbon nano tubes (CNT) composites, Carbon and alloy steels,
Design and analysis of Multi fictional elevator, Scissor lifts, gate open mechanisms, Joint clearance and hand link flexibility of serial manipulators, singularity analysis of parallel and flexible manipulators.
Prototype development of complex systems like Hoverbike etc..
Design and fabrication of sheet bending, corner notching machine and shear machine, black box for submarine and aircraft applications.
Special metal joining processes involving the thermo-mechanical treatment and the welding process of dissimilar metals.
Performance analysis of VCR (SI) with blended fuels.
