Item Kendriya vidyalaya, Malad - Universal design approach(AIKTC, 2015-04) Ambe, Sonam; Chougle, AmbarinA school, as an institution, leaves a deep imprint on the young developing minds and therefore school is chosen as my thesis topic. Inclusion is the need of the hour and it is the law, that all students should receive equal education. A school has a direct impact on the development and the understanding of a child. It is responsible for the physical, emotional, mental, social, cultural and intellectual development of a child. Campus environments are places where structured teaching and learning takes place and one can benefit from this. An inclusive school will provide opportunities for all physically disabled children to participate in education along with the non- disabled children in the mainstream school. Since the disabled students deprive the societal acceptance at the tender age, and are look down upon creating a sense of fear of socializing. We need to remove this stigma from the society and encourage an open mindset through the children in school. This school will help the children grow up socially and achieve a sense of independence and will polish their skills in various vocational trainings. All the existing structures in the society do not always meet the needs of every individual. The universality in the design of the structure is not seen. It is either done on a temporary basis or the versatility of the humans is ignored. The statement ‘Architecture is an art in combination with technology used to satisfy the human needs’ is in context to all kinds of human beings. So, my design thesis will be catering to the human diversity. According to the data in Mumbai Human Development report 2009, section elementary education, most of the illiteracy is seen in the lower class people and there almost negligible schools in the city that cater to the disabled children in a lower level schools, my school will be a municipal school which will be universally designed.Item Temporary housing for construction workers(AIKTC, 2015-04) Pansare, Preeti; Giniwale, Sarah (11ARC06)To provide a livable on-site habitat for the construction workers also taking into consideration social and recreational aspects on-site. Being a mobile community, temporary and portability forms an important aspect. Exploring the possibility of achieving modules which are exible to changing climate, locations, materials and on-site conditions.Item Comparison of conventional concrete and special cement concrete(AIKTC, 2015-05) Mujawar, Shafi; Syed, Shahabuddin (11CE58); Chhatriwala, Farhan (12CE100); Shaikh, Shahid Madni (11CE48)Concrete is widely used construction material in the world. nowdays the world witnessing the construction of more and more challenging and difficult engineering structures. so the concrete need to posses very high strength and sufficient workability. Researches all the world developing high performance concrete by adding various fibres, admixtures in different proportion . various fibres like glass ,carbon, polypropylene and provide improvement in concrete properties like tensile strength fatigue characteristic, durability, shrinkage, impact erosion resistence and serviceability of concreteItem Design and development of an indoor airship(AIKTC, 2015-05) Motiwala, Nawaz; Shaikh, Faisal (12ME70); Sayyed, Mufeed (12ME69); Javed, Abdul (12ME64); Arfat, Ziyauddin (12ME83)This research work aims at designing, development and fabrication of a remotely controlled indoor airship (gondola part) that could be used for camera surveillance, security and also can be used in opening ceremony to spray flowers, chocolate etc. This study shows selection of Gondola material, fabrication methods, and selection of suitable avionics parts. However there are many things which can be implemented in an airship. But in our case this is an indoor airship and a new thing which is sliding gondola is implemented in this airship to tilt the airship in case of pitch up & down and also in case of slight disturbance of center of gravity we can position the gondola in such a way that center of gravity coincides with the center of buoyancy.Item Robotics surveillance project(AIKTC, 2015-05) khadase, Rahul; Matiur, Rehman (12ET80); Sayed, Saleem (12ET84); Qureshi, Mehtab Alam (11ET59)ABSTRACT: Object tracking is a challenging task in spite of all sophisticated methods that have been de-veloped. The major challenge is to keep track of the object of a particular choice. In this work, a new video moving object-tracking method is proposed. The segmentation of the video is done by contextual clustering. Clustering is an important method in data analysis because of its ability to ‘discover’ the inherent features in the data. The fundamental concept in clustering techniques is to group a given set of objects into subsets according to properties associated with each object, so that the members in each individual subset share some similar properly defined features. A multitarget human tracking is attempted.Item Gesture based wireless single-armed robot in cartesian 3D space using kinect(AIKTC, 2015-05) Alvi, Rizwan; Memon, Md. Farhan Md. Fareed (11ET33); Quraishi, Imran Akram (11ET41); Shaikh, Bilal Anees (12ET86)Human Machine Interaction (HMI) has always played an important role in everybody’s life motivating research in the area of intelligent service robots. Conventional methods such as remote controllers or wearables cannot cater the high demands in some scenarios. To overcome this situation, the challenge is to develop vision-based gesture recognition techniques. This project describes our work of controlling an Arduino based wheeled, one armed robot, used as a prototype, controlled through various gestures of the arms and legs. For gesture recognition, we make use of skeletal tracing ability of Kinect – a product of Microsoft. Bluetooth is used to make the controls wireless. Since it is not line of sight operation, the robot also captures the environment video and transmits it over radio frequency in real-time and displayed on the screen. On the user end, according to the received video, the operator guides the robot and uses the arm to pick and place objects with the help of predetermined gestures.Item Material optimization of gear and pinion for planetary gearbox(AIKTC, 2015-05) Ghazi, Altamash; Gupta, Deepak (11ME24); Phadatare, Kiran (11ME44); Pawale, Mustafa (11ME43); Shaikh, Abrar (11ME50)Gears are the important element of a mechanical system, which are used for variation of speed and power, failure of even a single tooth of a gear will make the machine to stop. Hence our aim is to strengthen the gear which is a key element of gear box. At Dynatech Engineering. Co. Ltd. due to catastrophic failure of gear teeth, the problem of gear teeth deformation occurred. Dynatech Engineering Co. needed to suggest appropriate gear material by considering its strength, cost, hardenability and machinability, due to past history of gear teeth failures. The materials utilized for pinion and gear are EN24 and EN8 respectively. The material properties and costing of pinion and gear material were studied, and standard gear materials were identified from PSG Design Data Book. The material sorting is done on the basis of availability, cost and strength of the material. We studied different material selection methods like Weighted Point Method, TOPSIS, COPRAS, ELECTRA and VIKOR Method etc. From these methods Weighted Point Method (WPM) is selected for material selection and its result validated by TOPSIS Method and COPRAS Method. The material is selected by studying above method. On that material we did the finite element analysis and we also did analysis on currently used material in Dynatech Engineering co. The input parameter required for analysis provided by company such as module, teeth on pinion and gear, operating temperature and torque on which it is operating etc. The analysis is done by using the software ANSYS 15.0. From the result of it is concluded that the selected material have less deformation and stress during the operation at the top of the teeth as compare to the existing material.Item Comparative study of IP & MPLS technology(AIKTC, 2015-05) Tamboli, Mujib; Haji, Mohd. Sharukh Haroon; Shaikh, Sameer; Gite, Mohd. Mukhtar; Shaikh, Mohd. JavedMPLS is in discussion since last decade. It has been introduced to improve the performance and speed of the backbone network. There has been demand for transition from conventional network to the MPLS network in the service providers network. A comparative study and performance behaviour of the service providers network with MPLS network under different traffic conditions with various services is being proposed. An experimentation will be carried out on MPLS network with different traffic conditions to support the performance analysis on service provider routers. There has been significant improvement in the demand for the bandwidth requirement in the near future. This requires the access network and the backbone network to be significantly improved with respect to various services. Specifically a high speed network with a improvement in performance in expected at the backbone network. One of the contenders for the above problem is MPLS protocols. A network with MPLS protocols will take care of all the future demands for large bandwidth access for the subscribers. The analysis of the MPLS protocols has been carried out which has been reported in literature. A performance analysis of MPLS network under different traffic conditions and under different services is required before it is deployed in the field. Wireshark ,VLC, Jperf are some open source tools used for traffic generation and network analysis . This work proposes analysis of network performance parameter such as Latency, Throughput, Packet Loss, Jitter with traditional routing and MPLS. Testing scenario is created in with Service Provider MPLS enabled router and MPLS protocol features are analysed .Item Location based task reminder(AIKTC, 2015-05) Bodke, Kalpana; Patil, Sagar (11CO34); Shaikh, Gulsher (11CO40)Personal task reminders have been indispensable for modern people, in order to remind them of their tasks at specific circumstances. Traditional paper based reminders are still useful, but they cannot be organized efficiently. Electronic reminders based on the calendar in Cell phones are more efficient and gaining popularity, but such reminders are mostly triggered by time. In many situations, tasks are only meaningful to be performed at a specific location, so it would be useful if reminders for those tasks can be triggered only when the person to be reminded is physically near or located at that location. Therefore, in this research, we develop a location-based personal task reminder for Android-based smart phones and tablets. To distinguish our work from existing ones that rely solely on the GPS technology, we take advantage of the ubiquity of IEEE 802.11 WLAN infrastructure to Compliment the ‘‘blind spots’’ of GPS location sensing. Combining the two technologies makes it possible for the personal task reminder to be effective in both indoor and outdoor environments. We also propose two operating models for the personal task reminder to boost the usability of the application. Furthermore, as long as the WLANinfrastructure is available, our work as a foundation of location-based services can easily be extended to be used in many other scenarios, such as guiding in public transportation systems or tourist attractions, location based learning, and even caring of the Dementia residents.Item Real Time Product Analysis using Data Mining(AIKTC, 2015-05) Khan, Tabrez; Ansari, Mohd Azam Mohd Salim Reshma Bano(11CO53); Jawahire, Nakash Karim Zohra(11CO56); Shaikh, Anas Munawwar Aisha(11CO38); Siddiqi, Muzammil Ahmad Mansoor Ahmad Razia Begum(11CO55)E-commerce is widely increasing business in the world with increasing revenues every year by manifold times. This is simple indication that more people each day are moving on-line for shopping. It suggests that the preference of the people are changing. People are preferring to buy products more and more from on-line e-commerce websites. They are successfully able to bring the customer in confidence and overcoming the risk involved in on-line transactions by carefully analyzing the behavior of the buyers/sellers and cultivating confidence among the resellers and buyers by developing strategies to attract more business and participation from people. Here comes the existence of price comparison engines into picture which enable the buyers to compare products from different E-commerce websites thus facilitating the buyers to purchase the product at the cheapest price. There are many factors that are involved in developing a successful product. The success of the product is defined by the usefulness and the influence the product has on the human life. The Real Time Product analysis using data mining is enables the real time comparison of products on the basis of the prices and other parameters that are obtained though different E-commerce websites. To obtain prices and other parameters of the products from different E-commerce websites , a web Crawler is used that can crawl to different E-commerce websites and fetch the URLs of the products. Once the URL of the products are available, scrapper scrape the details that were abstracted within the URL. This scrapped data is then stored in the database. Then comparison among the products of the different E-commerce websites is being made by using techniques such as inverted indexing. This way the Project aims to provide a solution which grants power in the hands of the users to purchase genuine products at genuine prices and saving user’s time , money and efforts.Item Surveillance Robot controlled using an Android app(AIKTC, 2015-05) Bodke, Kalpana; Shaikh, Shoeb Maroof Nasima (12CO92); Ansari, Asgar Ali Shamshul Haque Shakina (12CO106); Khan, Sufiyan Liyaqat Ali Kalimunnisa (12CO81); Mir, Ibrahim Salim Farzana (12CO82)The robotics and automation industry which is ruled the sectors from manufacturing to household entertainments. It is widely used because of its simplicity and ability to modify to meet changes of needs. The project is designed to develop a robotic vehicle using android application for remote operation attached with wireless camera for monitoring purpose.

Automatic patrolling vehicle for periodic patrolling in defined or a restricted area, the patrolling vehicle can move automatically to monitor the dead zones and capture the images by using the camera.Item Analysis of electric power distribution system of a large nuclear power plant(AIKTC, 2015-05) Syed, Kaleem; Davane, Sushant; Jayakrishanan, K; Jagtap, Rajesh; Sharma, Rahul; Shamnath, RThere have been a considerable number of nuclear reactor concepts proposed over the thirty years of applied nuclear power. A selected number of these have been developed to the extent that one or more plants have been built. Today, only three of these concepts are considered commercially viable. Two of these concepts are based on the use of uranium enriched in the isotope U-235 with light (or ordinary) water employed for cooling and neutron moderation. Of these two concepts, one is the pressurized water reactor or PWR developed by Westinghouse. The other is the boiling water reactor or BWR developed by General Electric. The third concept is based on the use of natural uranium with heavy-water (water enriched in the deuterium isotope) for cooling and moderation. This reactor concept has been principally developed and applied by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited.Item Design and development of drive and steering mechanism of an automated guided vehicle (AGV)(AIKTC, 2015-05) Momin, Zia; Bhosale, Prasad (11ME45); Chavan, Manoj (11ME18); Dubey, Devang (11ME19); Koli, Aniket (11ME34)Autonomous Guided Vehicle or AGV is one of material handling equipment that has been widely used in most manufacturing industry today as it provides more flexibility to the systems. The basic concept of the AGV incorporates battery-powered and remotely operate vehicles with programming for path selection and positioning. This project includes the designing for this AGV. Using software SOLID WORKS, the design of the vehicle can be done with the respect of specification needed. The drive and steering mechanism is an important system of any AGV as the navigation of the AGV is totally governed by the drive and steering mechanism. The types of AGV, the basic concept, the classifications of the AGV and the steering mechanism that usually used in common AGV will be reviewed. Then, this project will be focusing on the mechanical design concept of the AGV which combines knowledge on parts such as the electric motor, gears, gear head, wheel, bearing, coupling of the AGV and others mechanical parts that are essential for this project.Item PLC and SCADA based smart distribution system.(AIKTC, 2015-05) Patel, Iftekar; Shaikh, Hamza (11EE43); Shaikh, Zafar (11EE48); Shaikh, Sajid (11EE44); Ansari, Junaid (11EE10); Shaikh, Siddik (11EE45)In today’s world most of the systems are operate on automation. Because of that the automotive systems are most efficient. Automation means use of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) & Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) instead of electromechanical devices. PLC & SCADA based distribution monitoring & control means use of automotive system in electrical distribution system for monitoring the electrical parameters (like voltage, current, power factor, etc) & controlling if any fault occurs in electrical system with the help of personal computer (PC). Electric power distribution system is an important part of electrical power systems in delivery of electricity to consumers. Automation in the distribution field allows utilities to implement flexible control of distribution systems, which can be used to enhance efficiency, reliability, and quality of electric service. Presently, worldwide research and development efforts are focused in the areas of communication technologies revolution and application of IEC 61850 protocol in the distribution automation to make distribution automation more intelligent, efficient and cost effective. This report has proposed a model that illuminates the categories of data, functionality, and interdependencies present in a SCADA system. Main concept of the project is data acquisition and controlling by using SCADA software PLC. Here PLC is a medium between electrical system and Personal Computer for SCADA to take input and output bits.By using the parameters, we can easily control any load in our system to improve system operation, system reliability, etc. alternatively, SCADA and PLC communication system make it possible to integrate protection control and monitoring electrical parameter together for maximum benefit. It also discusses about the present implantation philosophies and current challenges in the distribution system automation. Further, EPRI ‘IntelliGrid’ project is discussed as an example of advance distribution system automation. Finally, communication aided advanced distribution system automation and its advantages are explained in detail.Item Structural Health Monitoring by Non Destructive Techniques On Concrete(AIKTC, 2015-05) Sarvade, Shivaji; Tiwari, Shivendra (11CE54); Katrekar, Shweta (12CE64); Girilwala, Mustafa (12CE101); Shahpurwala, Abdul Kader (12CE102)The concept of nondestructive testing (NDT) is to obtain material properties “in place” specimens without the destruction of the specimens and to do the structural health monitoring. NDT using Rebound hammer, Ultra pulse velocity, Halfcell potential, core cutter, carbonation depth, rebar locator, Rapid chloride penetration test, electric resistivity meter test and vibration base analysis by data analoger are very popular and highly effective in conducting structural health monitoring. The structure can be investigated by using a visual inspection, NDT, laboratory and field test performance. In this article a review of these tests have been provided to conduct effective structural health monitoring of a RCC structure. The estimation of mechanical properties of concrete can be carried out by several methods; destructive and nondestructive. In this context, the crushing of the samples is the usual destructive test to determine the concrete strength. The rebound hammer test and the ultrasonic device are used in the field of nondestructive tests to determine respectively the compression strength and the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) in the concrete. In this work, eight concrete compositions were used to prepare cylindrical specimens (16 cm x 32 cm) by varying the water/ cement ratio and the cement dosage. An experimental study was conducted to determine the compressive strength of concrete by destructive (compression) and nondestructive (rebound hammer) tests at different ages (7, 14 and 28 days). In addition, the influence of several factors on the modulus of elasticity determined by pulse velocity test was investigated. These factors mainly included the age of concrete and the water/ cement ratio. The results showed that the difference between the resistance values obtained by destructive and nondestructive methods decreases with increasing age of concrete. The dynamic modulus of elasticity increases with the curing time of the concrete until the age of three months. In addition, a simplified expression has been proposed to estimate the rebound number from the value of the dynamic modulus of elasticity determined by pulse velocity test.Item Automatic seat belt(AIKTC, 2015-05) Momin, Zia; Khan, Shaibaz Ahmed (11ME32); shaikh, Faiyaz Alam (11ME51); shaikh, Javed Akhtar (11ME52); Khan, Uzair Ahmed (12ME67)Motor vehicle accidents have grown to be a major cause of death and injuries. We are developed occupant safety feature with an intension to reduce accidental injuries to occupants. After studying number of design plans and research papers, we have concluded to design and develop seat belt safety mechanism using spring and rope mechanism. In case of accidents, passenger lives can be saved greatly by use of seat belts and airbags in the automobiles. The safety implications of these systems and the stringent safety regulations in the world have brought a growing market to these products. The purpose of developing the project is to design alternate method of seat belt safety mechanism without changing the available space in the car and also to provide safety to occupants in those cars in which air bags and other safety system could not be implemented due to increase in cost.The actuating system design includes three point seat belt, spring, wire rope ,solenoid and locking mechanismsItem Modelling and simulation of stepper feeder mechanism for punch press(AIKTC, 2015-05) Shaikh, Rizwan; Sarfraz, Ahmed (11ME06); Gaonkar, Rajesh (11ME22); Shaikh, Maaz (11ME56); Ayub, Mohammed Ishaque (11ME13)A common method of feeding the stock material into the press is bypassing it through a pair of feed rollers which apply friction to the material and rotate in a cooperative manner to feed the stock in to the punch press. By synchronizing the rotation of the feed rollers to the speed of the press,the stock material is fed in to the punch press at the proper rate.Stepping motors are widely used in robotics and in the numerical control of machine tools to perform high precision positioning operations.The principal object of this invention is to provide a strip stock feeding mechanism that is suitable for feeding any desired length of stock for each cycle and which may be very easily adjusted for various lengths of feed.It was found that cost of stepper feeder is quite less as compared to other types of feeder available in the market.Item High speed terrorist air fighter(AIKTC, 2015-05) Kaleem, Sayed; Khan, Afroz; Fodkar, Salman; Dakhway, Sufiyan; Mulla, Saeed Ahmed; Khan, Abdul HakimThe military use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has grown because of their ability to operate in dangerous locations while keeping their human operators at a safe distance. The larger UAVs also provide a reliable long duration, cost effective, platform for reconnaissance as well as weapons. They have grown to become an indispensable tool for the military. The question we posed for our project was whether small UAVs also had utility in military and commercial/industrial applications. We postulated that smaller UAVs can serve more tactical operations such as searching a village or a building for enemy positions. Smaller UAVs, on the order of a couple feet to a meter in size, should be able to handle military tactical operations as well as the emerging commercial and industrial applications and our project is attempting to validate this assumption. To validate this assumption, my team considered many different UAV designs before we settled on creating a Quadcopter. The payload of our Quadcopter design includes a camera and telemetry that will allow us to watch live video from the Quadcopter on a laptop that is located up to 2 miles away. We are presently in the final stages of building the Quadcopter but we still improving our design to allow us to have longer flight times and better maneuverability. We are currently experimenting with new software so that we will not have to control the Quadcopter with an RC controller but will instead operate by sending commands from a remote laptop. Our project has verified that it is possible to build a small-scale Quadcopter that could be used for both military and commercial use. Our most significant problems to date have been an ambitious development schedule coupled with very limited funds. These constraints have forced compromise in components selected and methods used for prototype development. Our team’s Quadcopter prototype is a very limited version of what could be created in a production facility using more advanced technology. Currently our Quadcopter has achieved only tethered flight because it cannot maintain a stable position when flying. Our next step is to fix the software so that we can achieve controllable untethered flight. We are also working on integrating our own Graphical User Interface (GUI) which will allow us to have direct control over all systems. Although there are many enhancements that we could do to the design, we have proven that it is possible to produce a small scale UAV that performs functions of interest to the military as well as commercial/industrial applications.Item Design and development of an indoor airship(AIKTC, 2015-05) Motiwala, Nawaz; Ghogale, Advit (11ME23); Shaikh, Aisha (11ME02); Shaikh, Shahrukh (12ME65); Syed, Mujtaba (12ME80)Tail fins are basically needed for providing stability and achieving manoeuvrability. The present investigation deals in finding alternatives for the ways the fin will be mounted on airship to facilitate on site attachment. There needs to be improvement in the alignment mechanism to minimise bending under aerodynamic forces. Designing the fin for portability is the new concept of research. We as a part of curriculum has to undergo the project thesis work. We have to design appropriately sized tail fin considering all the design parameters like weight, cost and strength fulfilling the requirement of a fully functional airship.Item Anti-drag system(AIKTC, 2015-05) Patwegar, Imamdin; Pawaskar, Azharuddin (12ME66); Bade, Usama (12ME77); Sirkhot, Waris (12ME68); Dilwarkhan, Sufiyan (12ME71); Ansari, Sadique (12ME72)Important features Two were used in conjunction with two hubs. The locks have one flat face & one curved face. The mechanism enables the vehicle to move in forward direction simultaneously prevents reverse slips on a positive slope. It is a purely mechanical device. No electricity is required.
