MIT TEXEPHYR ‘14

Scientists have built the first-ever nonreciprocal circulator for sound that is able to break sound wave reciprocity. The device is a 'one-

way road for sound' that transmits acoustic waves in one direction but blocks them in the other. With this device, you can listen without

being heard.

A team of researchers at The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of

Engineering has built the first-ever circulator for sound. The team's experiments

successfully prove that the fundamental symmetry with which acoustic waves travel

through air between two points in space ("if you can hear, you can also be heard")

can be broken by a compact and simple device.

Using the proposed concept, we were able to create one-way communication

for sound traveling through air," said Andrea Alù, who led the project and

is an associate professor and David & Doris Lybarger Endowed Faculty

Fellow in the Cockrell School's Department of Electrical and

Computer Engineering. "Imagine being able to listen without having to

worry about being heard in return."

This successful experiment is described in "Sound Isolation and Giant Linear Nonreciprocity in a Compact Acoustic Circulator," which

will be featured on the cover ofScience in the Jan. 31 issue.

An electronic circulator, typically used in communication devices and radars, is a nonreciprocal three-port device in which microwaves or

radio signals are transmitted from one port to the next in a sequential way. When one of the ports is not used, the circulator acts as an

isolator, allowing signals to flow from one port to the other, but not back. The UT Austin team realized the same functionality is true for

sound waves traveling in air, which led to the team's building of a first-of-its-kind three-port acoustic circulator.

Romain Fleury, the paper's first author and a Ph.D. student in Alù's group, said the circulator "is basically a one -way road for sound. The

circulator can transmit acoustic waves in one direction but block them in the other, in a linear and distortion-free way."

The scientific knowledge gained from successfully building a nonreciprocal sound circulator may lead to advances in noise control, new

acoustic equipment for sonars and sound communication systems, and improved compact components for acoustic imaging and sensing.

"More broadly, our paper proves a new physical mechanism to break time-reversal symmetry and subsequently induce nonreciprocal

transmission of waves, opening important possibilities beyond applications in acoustics," Alù said. "Using the same concept, it may

actually be possible to construct simpler, smaller and cheaper electronic circulators and other electronic components for wireless devices,

as well as to create one-way communication channels for light."

This research may eventually allow for an "acoustical version of one-way glass," said Preston Wilson, acoustics expert and associate

professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. "It also opens up avenues for very efficient sound isolation and interesting new

concepts for active control of sound isolators."

At the core of the team's sound circulator is a resonant ring cavity loaded with three small computer fans that circulate the airflow at a

specific velocity. The ring is connected to three ports outfitted at each end with microphones that record sound. In their experiment, the

researchers start by transmitting sound from one port, for example, Port 1. If the fans are off, the sound signal from Port 1 splits symmetri-

cally into the two receiving ports, Port 2 and Port 3, as expected. However, when the researchers turned the fans on and delivered a mod-

erate airflow into the ring, with specific velocity tailored to the ring design, transmission symmetry was broken and the signal from Port 1

would flow entirely into Port 2, leaving Port 3 completely isolated. Conversely, when a signal was sent from Port 2, it would flow into

Port 3, leaving Port 1 isolated. Acoustic signals then flow from Port 1 to Port 2, from Port 2 to Port 3 and from Port 3 to Port 1, but not in

the opposite directions.

We got into talks with

our HOD, Founder &

Jt.Managing Trustee

Of MAEERs MIT, Pune

and found what he

thinks about this

technical

amalgamation, future

expectations and his

bond with the

department of

Mechanical

Engineering.

1.Sir,how do you feel about the collaboration?

My opinion is that, this is an excellent effort and the working of all the four

departments is not disturbed separately for 6 days and there is a synergy of

the four departments, which shows a good amount of cooperation between

all the departments. Congratulations ,to the students for taking such an ini-

tiative.

2.What does TEXEPHYR mean to you?

In present day’s scenario these events gives an opportunity to the students

to exhibit their talent in addition to academics. These events will improve

the employability of our students.

3.Five years down the line, what are your expectations regarding

TEXEPHYR?

Five years down the line, the technical content of this event should have a

predominance in the programme.As this is not a fun fair but instead a tech-

nical event which gives an opportunity to the students for innovation.

4.How close is the Mechanical Department to you?

I, being one of the founders of MIT, and closely associated with the pro-

gress of Mechanical Department I feel that am very proud to be on the fac-

ulty of the department. We have an excellent infrastructure in the depart-

ment ,as many as 13 well equipped laboratories.Such as tribology, robot-

ics, non conventional energy, computational fluid dynamics and many

more.

5.Words of advice for the students.

Today’s world is very competitive in addition to excellent academics ,one

should have other qualities such as the capacity to lead a team ,work in a

team, good expressions, pleasant personality and willingness to hear atten-

tively.

6.In what ways is this event beneficial for the students ?

This year four departments are joining to organize this technical event

which will help the students to showcase their talent on a bigger platform,

which in turn will help all the departments of MIT to join their hands and

utilize all the resources in future to make this event a great success.

7.Sir,would you like to share your views on SAE committee of SAE MIT

Collegiate branch.

SAE MIT Collegiate branch has been given the branch status due to the

excellent performance of our club. Ours is the only department which has

been given the branch status in the western region of India. This is due to

untiring efforts of our students and faculty members.

I wish all the best to the students and a great success for this event!

TEAM PIRANHA RACING

Baja SAE is an inter collegiate design competition run by

the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The goal in

Baja SAE racing is to design , build and race off-road vehi-

cles that can withstand the harshest elements of rough ter-

rain. Team Piranha has a history of participating in Baja

SAE India from the past four years. The team has seen

some tough years and some memorable ones. 2012 was one

of those memorable years when the team secured 6th posi-

tion in the endurance race and 18th rank overall. Even after

being 35 minutes down in a 4 hour race and starting the

race with 3laps down, the team covered about 35 laps of

that dirt track and stood 6th. In 2013 the car was top 3 in

aesthetics and was displayed in the inaugural event. Team

Piranha racing was the only team to clear all technical in-

spections in one go which is no mean feat as the inspections

are precise and thorough conducted by officials from top

car companies .We were one of the very few teams who

experimented with Continuously Variable Transmission

(CVT) instead of Manual Transmission. We also cleared

the gruelling hill climb of 50 metres with a gradient of

40°.Overall Team Piranha Racing stood 16th in endurance.

We have high hopes for 2014, and thank the department for

their continued support and guidance.

SAE STUDENT COUNCIL ‘13 SAEINDIA COLLEGIATE BRANCH

SAE is the acronym for the Society of Automobile Engineers. SAE international is

an organization of over 84000 engineers, educators and associates from over 97

countries. Founded in 1905, SAE is the leading authority in technical information

and expertise used in designing, building, maintaining and operating land, air and

sea vehicles. The collegiate branch of SAE is in charge of organizing various semi-

nars, guest lectures, industrial visits and workshops. It acts as a direct link between

the students and the industry. SAE has a large number of members within the de-

partment. All members benefit from these privileges and opportunities. Along with

this, the members are also entitled to access ARAI`s vast library`s for any educa-

tional or research work. Another major task of the SAE collegiate branch is the total

organization and conduction of TEXEPHYR, the ANNUAL college Techfest. This

large scale festival is completely organized by the students with only a guiding

hand from the faculty. Students not only realize and hone their sense of creativity

but also understand various elements of management, organizing, accounting and

budgeting

TEAM ACCELERACERS

Team Acceleracer`s is a racing team of students

who develop formula style race cars. Acceleracer`s

is a group where imagination, engineering, creativ-

ity and team work thrive together. The team par-

ticipates in various formula student competitions.

The first experience of the team was Supra SAE

India 2011. Initially a team of 24 students, Team

Acceleracer`s is now a union of 50 members from

different streams of engineering, who do a contin-

ual research and development in the field of auto-

mobiles. The working style of the team is more like

that of an organization than a regular college team.

Along with focusing on engineering of the vehicle,

the team also helps students explore their manage-

ment and marketing skills. The last year was a

great year for our college as Team Acccleleracers

were awarded numerous accolades including 1st

place in Engineering Design and 3rd place in Mar-

keting Presentation. High hopes are pinned on the

team to raise the bar to new heights and come back

with more awards this year.

Our Engineering All-Rounder:Aditya Deokule

Interviewed By: Nagma Parkar And Syed Mujtaba

Brilliant student, amazing sportsman ,versatile theatre actor, popular friend and loved by

all. Aditya Dilip Deokule was everything a student could be. A go getter from the begin-

ning , Aditya represented Pune, Maharashtra as a baseball captain at Chandigarh. He

also represented MIT for the purshottam karandak and firodia competition each year. He

acted in several plays while studying engineering.

After passing out from MIT in 2010, Aditya joined Volkswagen as he was placed in the

final year in Production and Technical service department.

His true passion for automobile drove him into the make and modeling of the first off

road vehicle of MIT college entering in SAE BAJA. Hera are a few excerpts from our

Team Texephyr: Tell us something about yourself?

AD: I basically belong to Thane, Mumbai. I did my schooling from shiv samarth vidyalaya and then joined

new english school and junior college and opted for science stream because of my true calling for automobiles.

I used to have a lot of fun and was always involved in purshottam and even represented as the captain of the

baseball team.

TT: How was your team at MIT?

AD: My time at MIT was just awesome and today what I am is just because of the way MIT moulded me . I

remember P.B Joshi sir, being very helpful to me during the PLs he used to give us the keys of M303 my

“best classroom” to study day and night and never said a NO.He was just the best.

TT: Sir, Volkswagen it is how would you describe your journey till date ?

AD: I have also had my share of hurdles as any normal human being. As I did my schooling from a vernacular

media it was difficult at the start but I adjusted myself along the path. It was difficult for me to understand

how to study for engineering. I learnt how to handle extra curricular activities along with academics and then

came the day of placement which went on very smoothly. I was the only guy selected by Volkswagen which

was in it itself a very proud moment.

AD: Sir, In which ways engineering is superior to other fields?What Is your personal opinion ?

TT: Well, I would not like to distinguish engineering from other fields as every field has its own merits and

demerits. But how engineering can be made different is all upto us. I feel engineers should be logical and it

plays a very important role in every engineers carrier.

TT: I really miss my days in MIT, specially the hangouts

at anna, submissions, lunch breaks. MIT really has a dif-

ferent atmosphere , I regularly come to college every

week and recollect all my memories. It’s a different

feeling overall.

AD: How would you like to share your experience with

the upcoming juniors of MIT?

TT: My personal advice to all the present students is,

keep on enhancing your knowledge , try to learn some-

thing everyday. Don’t wait for opportunities to come to

you rather make one. Take initiatives of doing something

new. Gain experience as much as possible. Final year

projects play an important role in adding your experi-

ence. Apart from technical soft skills are also important.

AD:In one word , what is MIT to you?

TT: Unforgettable!

THE ANNUAL SCREW

Production Machinery Automation Market: Outlook for 2014

Increasing demand for flexible machinery, machine safety and an increasing number of new original

equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in emerging economies are driving stable growth to the production ma-

chinery automation market. The production machinery automation market is expected to see continual growth

in 2014 and beyond, according to the "Production Machinery Automation Global Market Research Study"

from ARC Advisory Group.

Europe's large machinery market consists of high-end, customized machinery. As a global leader,

European machinery has demanding technical requirements, making it crucial for supplier to provide innova-

tive, reliable solutions in order to remain competitive. China is challenging European machine builders as its

OEM sector continues to grow. Increasing wages are forcing manufacturers to invest in automation.

Global quality standards and integrated safety solutions also require more support from automation

suppliers. "Automation suppliers that offer complete solutions are more successful in the global OEM mar-

ket," said Stefan Miksch, principal author of the ARC report. "Portfolio synergies can leverage automation

sales as suppliers enter the bidding phase earlier, offer the right products for the right applications, add value

to OEMs, and set up sales channels in emerging markets early."

Integration is also a key factor in production machinery, as it shortens start up time an offers competi-

tive benefits. Integrated safety is important to the market currently, but in the future, energy management and

cyber security will soon be more heavily integrated into machines and automation

In India, industrial production measures the output of businesses integrated in industrial sector of the

economy such as manufacturing, mining, and utilities. Industrial Production in India decreased 0.60 percent

in December of 2013 over the same month in the previous year.

Industrial Production in India is reported by the

Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implemen-

tation (MOSPI). Industrial Production in India

averaged 6.81 Percent from 1994 until 2013,

reaching an all time high of 20 Percent in Novem-

ber of 2006 and a record low of -7.20 Percent in

February of 2009.
