Rebar CAD/CAM system
Improper way of using steel reinforcement in concrete incurs undue wastage of money in the construction projects. Wastage of rebar can be realized even at the design stage and can propagate through every stage of the construction process. The study respondents were contractor’s and consultant’s managers, designers, bar benders, supervisors, and quantity surveyors. Central value analysis, correlation, and regression analysis were conducted on the data collected, using Rebar Cad/Cam software to confirm the factors influencing the wastage of steel. The cost estimated in the bill of quantity and the final costs after the provision of the steel with any alterations were compared and the reasons for cost overrun were analyzed.

Structural analysis of index finger assembly of the robot
An index finger of a robot fits in a palm whose function is to perform a certain task or to touch any object for sensing it. The finger is mostly made up of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) is a low-cost engineering thermoplastic that is easily machined. The assembly consists of the Front piece, Middle piece, Lower piece, Servo Motor, and Motor handle. The main aim of the paper is to evaluate the structural analysis of Index Finger Assembly. Input will be the Index Finger Assembly SOLIDWORKS model and the outputs will be Total deformation, Stress, and Strain plots. The model and analysis are performed using SOLIDWORKS and ANSYS Workbench. Structural analysis is performed on Index Finger Assembly with ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) and Structural Steel material to validate Equivalent stress, Equivalent elastic strain, and Total Deformation.

Effect of applied rotational velocity in finite element analysis
A highly important research issue in this modern world is stress on the connecting shaft when a rotational velocity is applied to one of the gears connected to the shaft. This project aims on finding the variation in stress, deformation, and fatigue when two different rotational velocities are acted on the gear. The finite element analysis method takes at one place a single complicated shape with an approximately equivalent network of simple elements. The overall pattern of elements is referred to as a finite element mesh. For the solution to be uniquely defined the boundary conditions are to be specified. In the given project an end of the shaft is fixed to get the deformation of the assembly after rotational velocity is applied. The components were modeled and assembled in FUSION 360 and the analysis was done in ANSYS software workbench interface.

A legislative analysis of mental health with shortcomings persisting in present Indian legislation
As it is essential to accurately assess an offender’s mental status so assessing the first research question that we have at hand is whether individuals with mental disorders are more prone to the committing of violent crimes when compared to mentally healthy people and as violent behavior may directly result from psychotic symptoms such as paranoid delusions which draws an inclination towards creating a continuing source of controversy over this issue. But there is also a contribution of personal violence and psychosis to this aspect. It is proved that individuals discharged from mental hospitals with no history of substance abuse had the same risk of violence as those without a history of either mental disorders or substance abuse and the point of conflict arises here which will be explained further. Moreover, when it comes to the discussion of stigma attached to mental disorders there are many people with serious mental illness who are challenged doubly. On one hand, they struggle with the symptoms and disabilities that result from the disease. On the other, they are challenged by the stereotypes and prejudice that result from misconceptions about mental illness. As a result of both, people with mental illness are robbed of the opportunities that define a quality life: good jobs, safe housing, satisfactory health care, and affiliation with a diverse group of people. Public stigma is the reaction that the general population has to people with mental illness. Self-stigma is the prejudice which people with mental illness turn against themselves. Both public and self-stigma may be understood in terms of three components: stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination. Stereotypes are considered "social" because they represent collectively agreed-upon notions of groups of persons.

Comparison of element order and span angle center by static structural analysis of column support by FEA on Ansys
A Column Support is a load-bearing component where maximum force is applied in the center. This can be used to hold and support a vertical pipe or beam for a fixed and trusted grip. The material used for column support is structural steel because it provides strength and durability. There are three holes on the base of the component, which help fix it to the surface. This paper is about static structural analysis of column support, modeled on Creo Parametric, and analysis is done using ANSYS Workbench. Finite Element Method (FEM) divides a component into small and simple parts called finite elements, which is implemented by creating a mesh of the object. Analyzing a process with the finite element method is called finite element analysis. By performing static structural analysis, total deformation, equivalent elastic strain, and equivalent stress were calculated. It is observed that element order with the highest nodes, gives maximum deformation, strain, and stress to the elements with the least nodes.

Review of Rebar CAD/CAM system and Conventional Method
This project is designed to review two different methods used in construction for the purpose of rebar estimation. The two methods reviewed in this project are- Conventional Method and Rebar CAD/CAM System. The Conventional Method is done manually. In this, Bar Bending Schedule [BBS] is created manually and all the calculations which are needed for this are done manually. Rebar CAD/CAM System proposes a business-to-business [B2B] e-Work system to improve the approval process for Bar Bending Schedule [BBS]. This system is composed of extensible mark-up language-based databases that support essential tasks of the approval process such as design and revision of structural drawings, bidding, shop drawing preparation, revision, and correction, and rebar delivery.
