STUDY & ANALYSIS OF RESIN INFUSION PROCESS FOR THICK
CURVED PANEL.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the infusion process potential for manufacturing of thick
composite laminate through VARTM technique.
PROJECT OUTLINE
Defect free manufacturing of thick composite parts through VARTM
method is difficult task in terms of infusion process strategy and
composite strength. VARTM process is dictated by Darcy’s law which
includes pressure difference, permeability as key process parameters.
In this study, permeability in the direction of thickness will be focused
and determined with suitable combination of fiber orientation and
process strategy. Fiber orientation would have value of 0°, 90° & ±45°
while process strategy would include the use of inter-laminar flow
media, resin injection points etc. Effect of inter-laminar flow media, plydrop and wrinkles on structural strength would also be addressed.
Study would include process simulation using software and part
manufacturing via VARTM technique, part inspection and structural
testing.

COMPOUNDING OF EPDM WITH ARAMID FIBERS
Development of EPDM based rubber formulation with following
properties;
a. Tensile Strength > 3Mpa,
b. Tensile Strain > 200% Mpa and
c. Specific gravity < 1.1
In the research project, reinforcement of EPDM with aramid fibers to
get the required mechanical properties is required.
PROJECT OUTLINE
MAJOR EQUIPMENT &
SOFTWARE REQUIRED
DELIVERABLES
EPDM is amorphous elastomer and exhibits weak mechanical
properties. Reinforced fillers such as silica, carbon black, aramid fibers
etc and other additives are generally added to enhance the mechanical
properties of EPDM. One of the most important characteristics of EPDM
is their ability to accommodate large quantities of fillers and other
additives without affecting process ability and without creating
unnecessary instability in the composites. Therefore, EPDM can easily
be compounded with various concentration of aramid fiber to get the
desired properties.

DESIGN OF A TEST BENCH FOR A MEMS-BASED MICROTHRUSTER
OBJECTIVES
To design a test bench capable of testing and measuring MEMS-based
micro-thruster’s thrust between 0.1 to 1.0mN and impulse bits
between 0.01 to 1mNs
PROJECT OUTLINE
The advent of MEMS and MEOMS has miniaturized the satellites in
form of micro, nano- and pico or cube-satellites. Owing to their low
manufacturing and launch cost these satellites are gaining popularity
in space applications and research. MEMS-based micro-propulsion
systems are also employed in these smaller satellites mainly for its
attitude control. This project involves the design and analysis of a
thrust test bench. The project will start with a detailed literature
review of available test benches for small scale thrust measurements,
their design concepts and working principles. Next step will involve
designing of thrust test bench capable of testing and measuring thrust
levels of 0.1 to 1.0mN and impulse bits between 0.01 to 1.0mNs
(Further design details will be provided later). The final stage will
include the analysis of designed test bench on any multi-physics solver
for validating the test bench design and working.

AERO-THERMAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF SATELLITE
FAIRINGS IN CONTINUUM REGION
OBJECTIVES
Modeling and analysis of Aero-thermal loads on provided payload
fairing
PROJECT OUTLINE
Payload fairings protect the satellite from the external aerodynamic
loads, vibration, noise, temperature extremes, dirt, dust, rain, snow,
and micrometeorites that may be encountered as the satellite is
launched and accelerated through the atmosphere into space.
During acceleration of launch vehicle, fairings experience thermal
loads. For proper designing of fairings, it is extremely important that
these loads must be appropriately quantified and analyzed for aerothermal heating.
Based on the available literature on aero-thermal heating, an
empirical code would be developed/modified and validated through
available experimental results. The same model will then be used
for aero-thermal analysis of the provided fairing design.

DESIGNING OF CLINOSTAT
The main objective of this project is to design and fabricate the 2D/3D
Clinostat
. A clinostat is a device which uses rotation to negate the effects
of gravitational pull on plant growth (gravitropism) and development
(gravimorphism). It has also been used to study the effects
of microgravity on cell cultures and animal embryos.
A single-axis clinostat only produces the effect of weightlessness along its
axis of rotation. A 3D or two-axis clinostat
(generally called a random positioning
machine or RPM), can average gravitational
pull over all directions. These machines
often consist of two frames, one positioned
inside
the

APPLICATIONS
OBJECTIVES
Design and analysis of a highly reliable Power Conditioning Unit
(PCU) for a micro satellite of about 40-50W (24V) average power
based on Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) architecture,
using commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components.
PROJECT OUTLINE
Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) is one of the most critical units of a
spacecraft power subsystem. This unit is primarily responsible for
regulation and conditioning of the solar array/battery power and
then generating a main power bus which is then supplied to the
loads through distribution units. This project involves design and
analysis of a PCU in which MPPT-based regulation scheme is
implemented for a satellite having 40-50W average power with
fully or semi-regulated bus at 24V. One of the prime foci
throughout the design phase would be to study and incorporate
various techniques to improve unit reliability considering COTS
components. The reliability of the unit will be demonstrated
through relevant analyses such as reliability analysis, Failure Modes

OBJECTIVES
Development of platform independent mobile GIS application with

a. Offline navigation,
b. LBS features depending on useful public and personalized points

c. Support on Android, iOS, Symbian and Windows
PROJECT OUTLINE
Various mobile GIS applications are available providing navigation and
other LBS features, but these applications are designed for specific
mobile platforms and require good and stable internet connection to
run and retrieve information from servers. Since internet conditions are
very poor in most of the areas of Pakistan, therefore GIS data is
required to be stored in smart phones locally. In the research project,
platform independent mobile GIS application is required to be
developed for providing navigation services along with other location
based services (LBS) features. LBS features mainly include location
based customized information sharing, optimal path calculation and
route planning etc. The application must be capable to run on any
mobile platform including Android, iOS, Symbian and Windows. The
data used in this research include road network and public and
personalized POIs, which should be stored in the smartphones.

GIS ANALYSIS & MODELING OF URBAN SPRAWL TO MODEL THE
FUTURE REQUIREMENTS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PARAMETERS
THROUGH DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (DSS) AND MULTI
CRITERIA ANALYSIS (MCA)
GIS modeling of Urban Sprawl for the need analysis of following socioeconomic parameters
 Utility, Resource and Traffic Planning
 Environmental Analysis in terms of pollution and habitat
protection
 Risk Analysis
Urban sprawl has been a big problem for most of the metropolitan
cities. The utilities / resource management, environmental impact
assessment and the risk analysis have always been the priorities of
urban planning.
In the research, the project objectives would be divided among the
student that would aggregately able to identify the risks and might be
able to come up with a solution
