This study investigates the erosion behavior of Al-SiC and Al-WC metal-based composites in a solid particle impingement environment developed through powder metallurgy. Micro-sized powders of SiC and WC were utilized in different weight proportions (0-10 wt%) for fabricating the composite samples. The angle of impingements of 30-90° and impact velocity of 30-90 m/s were used for solid particle erosion testing.

Noise annoyance is recognized as an expression of physiological and psychological strain in acoustical environment. The studies on prediction of noise annoyance and parametric sensitivity analysis of factors affecting it have been rarely reported in India. A hybrid ConvLSTM technique was developed in the study to predict traffic-induced noise annoyance in 484 people based on ambient noise levels, as well as survey information.

In India, during mining and ore processing, ore fine generation is a common phenomenon, in which more than 60% of process ore becomes discarded material. To explore the alternative of high-grade ores, mutual replacement with the utility of dump ore fines is the best way. With this perspective, Kiruburu iron ore mine (Iron Ore No.

Rolling Element Bearings are one of the most ubiquitous machine elements used in various machineries in the manufacturing industry. Prognosis and estimation of residual life of rolling element bearing are very important for efficient implementation of health monitoring and condition-based maintenance. In this paper, a rolling element bearing fault or degradation trend prediction is modeled using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) method.
