From HOD’s Desk

Greetings!It gives me a great pleasure to see that Department of Mechanical Engineering settles down well within a short period of its inception. I am privileged and consider myself lucky that so many wonderful students, staff members, and families touch my life each day. I believe that every ward has multiple sparks hidden in him/her and we, faculties and staff make conscious effort to nurture each one of them to achieve their potentials beyond conventional academics success. We are committed to prepare global citizens equipped with the life skills required to meet the constantly changing challenges and needs of the world around them. It gives me immense pride that our Students growing intellectually, physically, culturally, aesthetically and spiritually. Moreover, the achievements of our Students are not only in terms of their lessons acquired here, but also of how they are being able to apply them in the social scenario.

I strongly believe that a strong education system is the backbone of any nation and to this extent; we have ensured that our curriculum is enriched with value‐based education. For me, education is not a destination but a journey of discovery, exploration, introspection, and interrogation, a journey full of hope, promise and endless possibilities. To ensure greater learning outcomes from our students, we encourage our students to challenge themselves, celebrating their creativity, initiative and individuality, through their daily interactions in the classroom, as well as, through their participation in our many co‐curricular activities. We inspire our Students to be logical, critical and analytical in thought and in application for a highly sustainable future. Here's wishing everyone a significant and remarkable journey ahead!

America's Car Capital Will

Soon Be… Mexico

More bad news for Detroit. Wise free trade policies south of the border have quickly created the global auto industry's factory floor. Washington, are you listening?Everything you need to know about the future of the global auto industry is printed on the business cards of Carlos Lozano de la Torre, governor of Aguascalientes, Mexico, a central province named for its abundance of hot springs.

Seated at an enormous round table inside the ornate 17th‐century government palace where he has his office, he reaches into the side pocket of his dark grey suit and shuffles through a stack: Here's one version in German, another in Chinese, another in English. “I have them in 10 languages, but I only speak Spanish ,” he says wi th a chuck le as he hands over the Eng l i sh vers ion .

He has the translators working overtime for good reason. Seemingly overnight Mexico's automotive output has soared, bolstered by a flood of investment from foreign‐based carmakers, including Nissan, Honda, Volkswagen and Mazda. With $19 billion in new investment, production has doubled in the past five years to an estimated 3.2 million vehicles in 2014.

The reason is simple: Mexico has some of the most liberal free trade arrangements in the world, and it's making the most of them. While Washington spent a decade obsessed with the War on Terror to the exclusion of economics‐based foreign policy, Mexico was busy hammering out deals, and politicians like Lozano were luring investors. Today Mexico has free trade agreements with 44 countries, making it an ideal export base for automakers from Europe, China, Japan and, yes, America. The US? It has agreements with only 20 countries, and Beltway protectionists have helped ensure it hasn't enacted a new one since 2012. Negotiations on the ambitious 12‐nation Trans‐Pacific Partnership remain pathetically slow.

Teacher’s Day

In recent weeks Infiniti, Mercedes‐Benz and BMW have detailed plans to build cars in Mexico. Hyundai‐Kia is expected to announce a plant any day. Audi is midway through building a $1.3 billion factory for luxury SUVs in Mexico starting in 2016. Currently the world's eighth‐largest auto producer, Mexico is on pace to surpass Brazil this year. By 2020 Mexico should be number six behind China, the US, Japan, India and Germany, with an annual production of 4.7 million vehicles.“Mexico has become a superpower in cars,” says Eugenio Madero, chief executive of Sanluis Rassini North America, a Mexican supplier of suspension components that is a beneficiary of the boom. “It's like 3 million years ago and a meteorite slammed into the Yucatán Peninsula. The sheer size of the investments changes the face of the Earth. One day there's a guy plowing the land with a horse, and now there's a factory there.”

Our guru‐the teacher plays a phenomenal role in transforming us and bringing us to light from the world of darkness, where we are in today. They advice us to choose a right path in achieving our dreams and objectives. To express our gratitude to our beloved teachers‐ Teacher’s Day celebration was organized by MESA on 5�� September 2014 in workshop. Various things like Sarswati vandana, Teacher Felicitation, Professor & Student Speech took place through celebration.Our head of department, Prof. Satish S. Chinchanikar and MESA mentor Prof. Abhijeet R. Deshpande addressed the audience. Simultaneously following things took place:1. Unveiling of the newly elected MESA committee2. Felicitation of our department toppers3. Funding to students for publishing research papers.

How to Do Away with the Dangers of Outsourcing

The recent collapse of the eight‐story Rana Plaza garment factory in Bangladesh was a red alert for every company that has embraced the "virtual organization" model and the outsourcing that goes with it.The lure of the model is obvious. Virtual corporations shrink the core activities they pursue internally, while relying heavily on outsourcing many of those activities to strategic partners. At the same time, they seek to increase the number and nature of product offerings, many of which are also offered by their partners. As a result, traditional corporate boundaries disappear. Staffing, risks, benefits, and regulatory compliance are all increasingly externalized, most often to parts of the world where need routinely trumps prudence.Rather than manage their own corporate assets, CEOs and other top executives of such corporations are confronted with the seemingly easier challenge of managing relationships with "partners" or "associates." Yet as the Rana Plaza disaster and too many other examples show, every outsourced stop along the supply and production chains holds the potential for tainting the mother ship, exposing it to litigation and diminishing the quality and even viability of its offerings.“EVERY OUTSOURCED STOP ALONG THE SUPPLY AND PRODUCTION CHAINS HOLDS THE POTENTIAL FOR TAINTING THE MOTHER SHIP”"authoritative," offers organizations a valuable path between the traditional top‐down, inside‐the‐tent corporate structure and unbridled license to suppliers to do as they want. Marked by high levels of direction and support, this approach offers children—and by extension corporate partners and associates—freedom within a well‐defined structure.The authoritative style is both demanding and responsive. It encourages in equal measure entrepreneurial action and healthy self‐regulating behavior. Like authoritative parents, authoritative virtual corporations resist the temptation to micromanage relations with their associates. At the same time, they never leave responsibility for work conditions in the hands of their partners or cede decisions on quality control.Implemented with care, this freedom within a framework sharpens and transforms value creation and innovation. It sets the rules that let outsourcing partners be more creative, efficient, and customer focused. It also enables faster response to shifts in the market—something especially important as innovation continues to flow globally, rapidly, and often from unknown sources.Most important, this framework helps assure that virtual corporations will be anticipating crisis moments instead of responding to them. Stakeholders at either end of the spectrum, from seamstresses to stockholders, deserve no less.

Biomechanics is closely related to mechanical engineering, because it often uses traditional engineering sciences to analyze biological systems. Some simple applications of Newtonian mechanics or materials sciences can supply correct approximations to the mechanics of many biological systems. Applied mechanics, most notably mechanical engineering disciplines such as continuum mechanics, mechanism analysis, structural analysis, kinematics and dynamics play prominent roles in the study of biomechanics. Mechanical engineers may also work in the field of Biomedical engineering, specifically with biomechanics, transport phenomena, biomechatronics, bionanotechnology and modeling of biological systems like soft tissue mechanics.

Usually biological systems are much more complex than man‐built systems. Numerical methods are hence applied in almost every biomechanical study. Research is done in an iterative process of hypothesis and verification, including several steps of modeling, computer simulation and experimental measurements.

Over the past decade the Finite element method (FEM) has also entered the Biomech sector highlighting further engineering aspects of Biomechanics. FEM has since then established itself as an alternative to surgical assessment and gained the wide acceptance of academia. The main advantage of Computational Biomechanics lies in its ability to determine the endoanatomical response of an anatomy, without being subject to ethical restrictions.

QUICK OVERVIEW TO ITS RULLING APPLICATIONS SPORTS BIOMECHANICSIn sports biomechanics, the laws of mechanics are applied to human movement in order to gain a greater understanding of athletic performance and to reduce sport injuries as well. CONTINUUM MECHANICS Biomaterials are classified in two groups, hard and soft tissues. Mechanical deformation of hard tissues (like wood, shell and bone) may be analysed with the theory of linear elasticity. On the other hand, soft tissues (like skin, tendon, muscle and cartilage) usually undergo large deformations and thus their analysis rely on the finite strain theory and computer simulations. This has led to advancement in medical science. BIOTRIOLOGYThe main aspects of Contact mechanics & tribology are related to friction, wear and lubrication. When the two surfaces come in contact during motion of biological systems especially human joints such as hips and knees For example, femoral and tibial components of knee implant routinely rub against each other during daily activity such as walking or stair climbing. If the performance of tibial component needs to be analyzed, the principles of biotribology are used to determine the wear performance of the implant and lubrication effects of synovial fluid. In addition, the theory of contact mechanics also becomes very important for wear analysis.Biomechanics is widely used in orthopedic industry to design orthopedic implants for human joints, dental parts, external fixations and other medical purposes IDEAL APPLICATIONSSome simple examples of biomechanics research include the investigation of the forces that act on limbs, the aerodynamics of bird and insect flight, the hydrodynamics of swimming in fish and locomotion in general across all forms of life, from individual cells to whole organisms. The biomechanics of human beings is a core part of human kinetics. As we develop a greater understanding of the physiological behavior of living tissues, researchers are able to advance the field of tissue engineering, as well as develop improved treatments for a wide array of pathologies.

AUTOSTROKE

th th13 – 14 September, 2014 “To make students expertise in technical aspects in Mechanical engineering” is one of the mission of MESA (Mechanical Engineering Student Association). With this mission MESA has organised a workshop on Automobile design and Analysis name 'Auto‐stroke 'for the students of mechanical engineering.

thThe Workshop was conducted in association with IIT‐GandhiNagar which was scheduled on 13 and 14th of September in VIIT campus. The day started with felicitation of the faculty name Manvendar Kumar with the hands of Dr. S. S. Chinchanikar (HOD) Mechanical Engineering. After that the workshop was started with the introduction to the automobile. The day was divided into three sessions, morning session, lunch session and the Tea session. The faculty made the session very interesting by making it interactive and generated curiosity through explaining concepts very deeply. Through interesting videos of every system in automobile he made the idea of the students more clear. The day ended with interesting question and answer session. The next day was the day of designing for which the students wear eager. The design was to be thought by a new faculty name Ashish Chadra. He arrived on the same day; he started with the basics of designing and moved on to the software name Solid Works. Every student were facilitate with these software in their laptops. He thought each and every command in the software in a very easy manner so that students can excel in that with ease and practice. The last session of the workshop was Technical Quiz competition

Students were given 20 min to solve the quiz and the best scorer were filtered and a team of three students will get a chance to go to IIT‐ GandhiNagar to participate in the Technical festival AMLATHEA. The Feedback of the students was good they liked the workshop and were happy with it and were curios to learn more about the automobile and design.
