Project Title: Consultancy for Design and Analysis of Sabot for Effective Separation

Project Description: Sabot is a very general term for projectile objects very commonly used to guide a projectile during its launch to avoid direct interaction between the projectile surface with that of holding component in a launcher, mainly canister. The design of sabot needs optimization of parameters and form for efficient separation action without interference with projectile and launcher vehicle for both of jump and fly-off behavior. Both mode of separation will be analyzed such that final design proposals may be made. Apart from the dynamic behavior of Sabot the issue of material including elastomeric element and friction at the contact surfaces should also be addressed.

Project Title: Consultancy for Design and Analysis of Stewart Platform

Project Description: A bond graph model of Stewart platform interfaced with overwhelming ghost controller is created. The interface subsystem is so designed that it may be easily realized in actual implementations either through hardware or through computer in loop, which outputs the desired actuating forces or pressures in the actuating legs of the Stewart platform. The pneumatic floating legs are also incorporated in the model. The model thus created would aid the designer in choosing suitable parameters for a class of performances and also in real time actuation and motion control.
