Design and

development of fluidic

thrust vectoring

actuator for unmanned

air vehicle.

System

Dynamics and

Control

Students would

need to register for

ME464 course

Fluidic thrust vectoring (FTV) control is an innovative

technique employed to affect the pitch control of an aircraft

(or a UAV) in absence of conventional control surfaces

such as elevators. This study would involve design,

development of test rig along with sensing and

measurement system. Background in thermodynamics, fluid

mechanics is essential and background/interest in data

acquisition and interfacing of sensors and actuators is a

must.

magnetic bearing

system.

System

Dynamics and

Control

Students would

need to register for

ME464 course

This study will mainly focus on the design, verification of

design and manufacturing of an active magnetic bearing

system to levitate a rigid shaft. Rotating machines

supported on frictionless bearing has several applications.

This work in particular would involve developing (i)

mathematical model of rotor elements (ii) electromagnets

design and (iii) control system design.

3 Dr. S. M.

a remotely operated

underwater vehicle

(ROV)

System

Dynamics and

Control

Students would

need to register for

ME464 course

The project will utilize vehicle developed in FME to

investigate dynamic modelling and feedback control of the

vehicle. Further vehicle up-gradation work is also involved,

in particular hydro-dynamic propeller design/fabrication,

autopilot electronics development and extensive pool tests.

This is a continuation of on-going development work ROV.

Ahmad Modelling and control

of a quadcopter

System

Dynamics and

Control

Students would

need to register for

ME464 course

This project is a continuation work and will investigate,

quadcopter modelling and control system development. To

this end electronic control unit, sensors integration with

quadcopter, ground control station and graphical user

interface would need developing. Extensive lab and outdoor

tests are envisaged.

fixed wing unmanned

air vehicle (UAV):

System

Dynamics and

Control

Students would

need to register for

ME464 course

13 Dr. Ghulam

Hussain Design & manufacture

of a thin wall

cylindrical vessel

Manufacturing The students are expected to design a thin wall vessel

intended to contain a fluid imposing a certain pressure. The

students will use the knowledge of solid mechanics in

designing phases. To further refine the design, they will

make use of established ASME/API codes. Later, the

students need to manufacture with a suitable welding

process and examine the performance of vessel against

designed pressure.

14 Dr. Ghulam

Hussain Design &development

of a friction stir

welding machine for

underwater

applications

Manufacturing Friction stir welding is a new welding technique which

makes use of thermo-mechanical heating caused by friction

to weld a material. Due to this fact, it can be used for repair

of underwater vehicles. The students are expected to design

and develop a small machine that could perform welding

under water. The proposed equipment may mimic a

drill/milling machine.

15 Dr. Ghulam

Hussain Design & development

of magnetron based

hot forming

equipment

Manufacturing This is an established fact that electromagnetic waves can

be used for heating. The present project is focused on

extending this concept to metallic parts specifically for hot

forming purpose. The students are expected to estimate the

heat requirement and design a magnetron for proving

required heating to the metal during forming.
