However analytical, numerical and experimental studies have primarily focused on investigation of basic underlying physical principles as well as performance enhancement of flow-induced flapping foil energy harvesters especially those related to fully active systems. In this paper, performance analysis of a semi-active flapping foil system has been carried out, where pitch mode is activated while useful energy is extracted through an idealized damper via flow-induced oscillating foil energy harvesters. Governing equation of motion is modeled through a spring-damper system while modeling of hydrodynamic forces and moments is achieved through a Theodorsen's 2D thin plate model. Parametric analysis has exhibited a strong dependence on various factors including kinematic (pitch and heave amplitudes), geometric (pivot location) and structural (damping and stiffness) parameters. All these parameters are optimized to achieve an enhanced performance, where efficiencies of approximately 23% have been achieved at specific parametric range. Analysis shows that due to strong fluid-structure interaction, flapping foils are capable of being deployed as potential energy harvesters whose capacity can be enhanced through regulation of various flow and structural parameters.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133342450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These parameters are critically required for designing and optimizing aerodynamic shapes as well as experimentally validating CFD results. Wall shear stress is an important aerodynamic parameter that defines skin friction drag on the body. However, its precise measurement has always remained a challenging task due to high spatial and temporal resolution. Introduction of MEMS technology has provided a solution to this problem. This paper presents use of a novel MEMS sensor fabricated through silicon-on-insulator (SOI) Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology for measurement of wall shear stress. Sensor is based on hot-wire transduction mechanism that works on heat transfer principle. Sensor sensitivity upto 1 pascal has been demonstrated through customized data acquisition system and characterization setup. Shear stress sensor exhibited a sensitivity of 940 m V /pa at 18mA current. Targeted application areas are real time flow monitoring, active flow control, micro fluidics and wind tunnel testing.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133907703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple off-line approaches are available for PID tuning. However, physical systems which are subjected to continuous parametric changes and external disturbances require a robust PID controller with continuous auto-tuning. Quadcopter is the perfect example of such system which requires a robust control for stable flight operation. In this paper, a robust PID controller is presented for flight control of quadcopter. The proposed PID tuning algorithm continuously adjusts PID parameters which minimizes tracking error using artificial neural network consisting of a single hidden layer. Sigmoid function is used as activation function. Back-propagation algorithm is used to obtain optimized weights. Comparative analysis of three types of training algorithms (Bayesian regularization, Lavenberg-Marquardt and scaled conjugate gradient) against different number of neurons of hidden layer is performed to obtain minimized Mean Square Error (MSE). The effectiveness of proposed control scheme is witnessed for roll, pitch, yaw and altitude control of quadcopter.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129353764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A passive sensor array in a linear or circular configuration is used to detect and track targets with acoustic radiations into water i.e. frequency lines, machinery and propulsion noises, commonly known as narrowband signatures. Narrowband processing is responsible for analysis and classification of target's acoustic signatures. Broadband processing provides information about target's bearing, amplitude and its movement with time. Target bearing history along with detailed analysis of its narrowband signatures are valuable information for any underwater surveillance system. This paper presents an automated approach for association of narrowband signatures with broadband tracking that relates the frequency lines to the corresponding bearings common to a single target. The proposed methodology requires the system operator to select a target's frequency lines and the association algorithm automatically starts tracking the corresponding bearings on the bearing-time history display. This automated association approach provides several advantages such as resolving crossing targets scenario, facilitating target motion analysis, and improving the response time of system operators.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125537580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently a lot of countries around the world use unmanned aerial vehicles for combat and reconnaissance purposes but none of them has capability for point defense, since most of them are fixed wing. In the beginning a brief history of usage of drones as combat aircraft is discussed followed by the manner in current technology being pursued in Pakistan. The design of currently available combat drone systems is there, and its conversion to a mechanism of point defense system is discussed. For its conversion two design approaches are possible, weapon launch system design and weapon drop mechanism design. In the first design phase attachment of currently available weapon system is discussed. In the second phase a mechanism to drop any explosive from a specific height is discussed. One design system is discarded due to less feasibility and other was approved. 2nd design was fabricated with all the design constraints kept in mind. All the problems faced in fabrication process are also discussed and their possible solutions is also mentioned. In the end testing was carried out to achieve desired results.

Our proposed system Home Sign Language Tutor is divided into two main sections. One is home sign dictionary that helps to learn the home sign language and other section translates the signs performed by HSIP into plain text in real time. We used kinect sensor to get skeletal data from user. User Centered Design process is used to design the system which involves user in every stage of the design process. After developing the system we performed an experiment on 30 (Thirty) HSIP. We divided the participants in 2 equal groups in which one was Normal and other is Expert. Normal group has hearing parents and expert group has hard hearing parents. Home signs are used in home in early age when HSIPs are not exposed to formal learning in school. In this proposed system we translated 21 (Twenty one) home signs into text. Almost 10 signs were already in use or have little bit understanding in HSIPs while we have designed 11 new signs with help of sign language interpreter.

In ad hoc networks, no such entity is determined that tells us the optimum route for data flow. As several nodes contend for the medium at same time so there is a high probability that the nodes will interfere each other's communication. Therefore, the interference in the network among the users needs to be managed using intelligent Multi-access control (MAC) schemes. This work focuses on the efficient interference management in wireless ad hoc networks. Several implementation of different MAC schemes for interference management that includes Aloha, Spread-spectrum (SS) and Frequency-hopping (FH) schemes have been implemented and analyzed. For this purpose, a system model is assumed to observe the nature and impact of interference. MATLAB implementation results show that near-field interferers are the major cause of interference but far-field interferers also constitute approximately 80% towards interference hence can't be ignored and needs to be managed. The results further deduce that FH scheme gives best result in reducing interference and increasing Transmission Capacity (TC) when compared to Aloha and SS schemes in a given outage constraint.","PeriodicalId":207523,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET)","volume":"237 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122999944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
