Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Al6061 Composite by Stir Casting Method
Get PDFAluminium alloy-based metallic matrix composites (MMC) have recently gained popularity in various aerospace and automotive applications. Aluminium has been utilized as a matrix material due to its high mechanical qualities, superior formability, and diverse industrial applications. The Al6061 alloy system becomes harder, stronger in tension, and more wear-resistant when TiB₂-SiC-Rh is added as reinforcement. Al6061–TiB₂-SiC-Rh composites were created in this study using a liquid metallurgical method, with TiB₂-SiC-Rh added in percentages ranging from 2% to 8% by weight in increments of 2%. The cast matrix alloy and its composites were treated with solutionizing at 500°C for 1 hour before being quenched in different media like air, water, and oil. After quenching, the samples were aged both artificially and naturally. Microstructural analysis was conducted to understand the relationship between structure and mechanical properties. Mechanical characteristics, including microhardness and abrasive wear experiments, were performed on matrix Al6061 and Al6061-TiB₂-SiC-Rh composites before and after heat treatment. Under the same heat treatment conditions, the Al6061-TiB₂-SiC-Rh composites exhibited improved microhardness, tensile strength, and reduced wear compared with the Al matrix alloy
Performance Study of Plain Cement Concrete Containing Quartz Powder and Eggshell Powder as Partial Replacement of Cement
Get PDFConcrete remains a mainstay among construction materials despite ongoing improvements to enhance its environmental friendliness and effectiveness. This study explores the effects of adding quartz and eggshell powder to concrete. The experimental investigation measures concrete samples’ compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength at 7, 28, and 90 days. Concrete mixes with varying percentages of quartz powder and eggshell powder and their combinations were prepared and tested. The findings show that using quartz and eggshell powder improves the strength characteristics of concrete, with several mixtures performing better than conventional concrete. The examination of experimental data highlights the potential of these supplementary materials to enhance the sustainability and durability of concrete structures. It provides valuable insights into the mechanisms contributing to the strength improvement. These results advance the field of construction materials by contributing to ongoing efforts to create high-performance, environmentally friendly concrete composition
An Experimental Investigation on Partial Replacement of Oil Palm Shell as Coarse Aggregate and M Sand as Fine Aggregate with Elevated Temperature
Get PDFConcrete plays a pivotal role in construction, and the quest to enhance its performance and sustainability is ongoing. Aggregates, comprising 70-80% of concrete, are traditionally made of crushed rocks as coarse aggregates and river sand as fine aggregates. However, increasing demand for these natural resources due to growing construction activities has escalated costs and raised environmental concerns. This study investigates the potential of using Oil Palm Shell (OPS) as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates and Manufactured Sand (M Sand) as a substitute for fine aggregates in M30 grade concrete. Furthermore, the study examines how these replacements affect the concrete’s properties when exposed to elevated temperatures. Various tests were conducted to evaluate slump, split tensile strength, compressive strength, and flexural strength of concrete specimens after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. Concrete samples were prepared with varying proportions of OPS (5%, 10%, and 15%) and M Sand (10%, 20%, and 30%), along with combinations of both. The results indicated that the inclusion of OPS and M Sand improved the concrete’s strength properties, with certain mixtures outperforming conventional concrete. The analysis of these outcomes underscores the factors contributing to the enhanced strength, demonstrating the potential of OPS and M Sand in boosting the durability and sustainability of concrete structures. Adopting these materials not only reduces construction costs but also promotes environmentally sustainable practices within the construction industry
An Impact of Social Marketing on Smoking and Tobacco Consumption
Get PDFThe paper discusses the role of social marketing in preventing health-related harmful habits such as tobacco consumption and smoking. These habits are the causes of deadly diseases such as lung cancer, tuberculosis, and other chronic infections which are detrimental to life of the people. Children fall prey to the wrong habits in the wrong company and become tobacco addicts. So many cases of teen drug addicts are reported in a large number. They have a lack of conscience at a tender age and negligence of their counselling and awareness increases the number of smokers, drunkards, and drug addicts. Once they are afflicted with the diseases they must run for medicines and treatment. Therefore, it should be prevented before suffering as the saying goes, “Prevention is better than cure “. They are unaware that they are prevented not only by clinical treatment and medicines but also by social awareness and education. Social mobilization of the people through awareness programs, education, camps, campaigns, etc. is known as social marketing. The significance of social marketing is its effects on the prevention of physically detrimental habits in the youth which contributed a lot to the reduction of cases of diseases. The role of government programs, educational and medical institutions, social workers, and NGOs is worth applauding in India which undertake and complete projects, organize awareness camps, and educate parents and youths to save themselves from the consumption of harmful substances. It has also produced good output in India that the cases of smoking and drug addiction have reduced to support the country’s development as India is advancing towards becoming the third largest economy and a developed country by 2030 and 2047 respectively

Rethinking Man and Nature in The Old Man and The Sea
Get PDFThis paper explores the intricate relationship between man and nature in Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea through the lens of deep ecology. It challenges the traditional anthropocentric interpretation of the novella, proposing that the protagonist Santiago’s struggle is not merely a tale of human triumph over nature but a journey towards understanding and coexisting with the natural world. By applying the principles of deep ecology, the study reveals how Santiago’s evolving relationship with the marlin and other sea elements reflects a broader ecological consciousness. The analysis also draws parallels between Santiago’s experience and the Biblical narrative of Jonah, suggesting that Santiago’s success is not solely due to his physical endurance but also the cosmic forces that aid him. This paper ultimately rethinks the themes of struggle and victory in the novella, emphasising the need for a harmonious relationship between humanity and the environment
