“I have been impressed with

the urgency of doing.

Knowing is not enough; we

must apply. Being willing is

not enough; we must do.”

-- LEONARDO DA VINCI

Mechanical engineering is a discipline of engineering thatapplies the principles of physics and materials science foranalysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance ofmechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering thatinvolves the production and usage of heat and mechanicalpower for the design, production, and operation ofmachines and tools. It is one of the oldest and broadestengineering disciplines.

The engineering field requires an understanding of coreconcepts including mechanics, kinematics,thermodynamics, materials science, and structuralanalysis. Mechanical engineers use these core principlesalong with tools like computer-aided engineering andproduct lifecycle management to design and analyzemanufacturing plants, industrial equipment andmachinery, heating and cooling systems, transportsystems, aircraft, watercraft, robotics, medical devicesand more.

Scope There is tremendous scope for mechanical engineers inautomobile engineering, cement industry, steel, powersector, hydraulics, manufacturing plants, drilling andmining industry, petroleum, aeronautical, biotechnologyand many more. Nowadays they are also increasinglyneeded in the environmental and bio-medical fields.

“Education is not the

learning of facts, but

the training of the mind

to think”

- Albert Einstein

Mechanical Engineering activities at the GMR Institute of Technology commenced in 1997. The Department is accredited with NBA as well as NAAC. The annual intake of this Department is 120 students.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a richly integrated curriculum of education and research to its students. The Department offers Masters programme (M.Tech. Thermal Engineering). Students have a variety of opportunities to investigate a broad range of research in thrust areas. Some of the specific areas include Alternate Fuels, Nano Materials and Coatings, Metal Matrix Composites, Bio-degradable Polymers and Reliability Engineering. Much of the research is conducted within the department, but many projects are carried out in collaboration with other departments and centers on campus, as well as with other R&D institutions and national laboratories in the country and abroad. The faculty, students and staff author have research publications annually in leading national and international journals and conferences. Several of the faculty are fellow of various national academies in science and engineering, and have received recognition in the form of national and international awards. The alumni and staff of this department occupy high positions in institutions of higher learning, research laboratories and industries in India and abroad

The Mechanical Engineering Faculty is continuing to explore new areas of research and develop new courses. The Department is well equipped with state of the art laboratories and infrastructural facilities. The Department receives funding from agencies such as UGC, AICTE, DST, and public and private industries. Our faculty members render assistance to leading industries through technical advice and consultancy services.

Trends of Mechanical Engineering

Surface coatings - Ch. Vinod Babu

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both. The coating itself may be an all-over coating, completely covering the substrate, or it may only cover parts of the substrate. An example of all of these types of coating is a product label on many drinks bottles- one side has an all-over functional coating (the adhesive) and the other side has one or more decorative coatings in an appropriate pattern (the printing) to form the words and images.

Paints and lacquers are coatings that mostly have dual uses of protecting the substrate and being decorative, although some artists’ paints are only for decoration, and the paint on large industrial pipes is presumably only for the function of preventing corrosion.

Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the substrate, such as adhesion, wettability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance. In other cases, e.g. semiconductor device fabrication (where the substrate is a wafer), the coating adds a completely new property, such as a magnetic response or electrical conductivity, and forms an essential part of the finished product.

A major consideration for most coating processes is that the coating is to be applied at a controlled thickness, and a number of different processes are in use to achieve this control, ranging from a simple brush for painting a wall, to some very expensive machinery applying coatings in the electronics industry. A further consideration for 'non-all-over' coatings is that control is needed as to where the coating is to be applied. A number of these non-all-over coating processes are printing processes

Many industrial coating processes involve the application of a thin film of functional material to a substrate, such as paper, fabric, film, foil, or sheet stock. If the substrate starts and ends the process wound up in a roll, the process may be termed "roll-to-roll" or "web-based" coating. A roll of substrate, when wound through the coating machine, is typically called a web.
