Design and Construction of a Spring Stiffness Testing Machine
(American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER), 2015) O. A. Olugboji; M. S. Abolarin; J. Y. Jiya; G. M. Alaya; C. K. Ajani
A spring stiffness testing machine was produced which differentiates a good spring from bad one using hydraulic principle and locally sourced materials were used to produce at relative low cost and high efficiency. It also categories each spring by stiffness into one of several distinct categories based on its performance under test. This is to ensure that in the final assembly process, springs with similar performance characteristics are mated to ensure a better ride, more précised handling and improved overall vehicle or equipment performance. The construction of the machine involves basically the fabrication process which includes such operation as cutting, benching, welding, grinding, drilling, machining, casting and screw fastening. Taken into consideration under test, were types of compression springs with varying spring loading and their different displacement recorded at different pressures to compare their stiffness.
Design, Fabrication and Testing Of a Motorized Paper Perforation Machine
(International Journal of scientific research and management (IJSRM), 2015) J. Y. Jiya; M. S. Abolarin; O. A. Olugboji; R. I. Ngoffia; C. K. Ajani
This is concern with design and fabrication of a powered paper perforating machine with efficiency and less cost for bindery department in printing industries. It is a machine that will compete favorably with the manually operated ones and reduce human efforts with minimum time consumption. It perforates up to 15 sheets of paper at each stroke and is powered by a horse power electric motor whose rotational motion is converted to a reciprocating motion in the perforation pin by the principle of eccentricity.
Effect of Cutting Speed and Feed Rate on Tool Wear Rate and Surface Roughness in Lathe Turning Process
(International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology (IJETT), 2015) O. A. Olugboji; M. S. Abolarin; J. Y. Jiya; S. O. Popoola; C. K. Ajani
Machining is a vital part of the production process in the manufacturing industries. Turing operation was carried out on the mild steel to produce shaft of various diameters. The conditions applied during the turning operation include varying the cutting speed and feed rate while keeping other cutting variables like depth of cut constant. The results affirms that an increase in the cutting speed causes a decrease in the tool life, increase in the feed rate also affects the surface finish obtained.
Problem of calculating time delay between pulse arrivals
(American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER), 2015) O. A. Olugboji; J. Y. Jiya; C. K. Ajani
This work compares the performance of four different methods of estimating the time delay between pulse arrivals at the sensors subjected to different levels of attenuation, distortion and noise. The accuracy of the calculated time between the pulse arrivals at the sensors is determined and analysed for each of the methods based on the ideal attenuation (no change in shape), ideal attenuation with added noise to the pulse signal and ideal attenuation but with distortion. Based on the analysis carried out, it is clear the cross correlation method gives the best estimate of the delay in pulse arrival times irrespective of the signal to noise ratio and so is the preferred technique used in the remainder of this research.
