    Proceedings 2025 2nd International Conference on Electronic Circuits and Signaling Technologies Icecst 2025, 2025
    In response to escalating fuel prices and growing environmental concerns associated with conventional vehicles, this study proposes a hardware model for a solar-powered electric vehicle aimed at achieving zero-emission transportation. The model demonstrates the viability of a solar-powered two-wheeled scooter that utilizes solar energy to drive a lightweight motor integrated into the wheel, supported by a rechargeable battery system. Key components-including the battery pack, motor, controller, speed regulation unit, battery charger, and throttle-are harmonized to ensure optimal functionality. Additionally, the project features wireless security enhancements through an Arduino-based RFID access control system, improving both safety and user convenience. The primary goal is to reduce carbon emissions linked to traditional combustion engines, offering an eco-friendly alternative. By leveraging solar energy instead of fossil fuels, this solar-assisted electric vehicle represents a promising advancement toward sustainable mobility and broader adoption of electric vehicles within the automotive sector.

    M. K. Prabhu, P. Sivaraman, Adarsh Ajayan, T. Nithyanandhan, P. Ilakiya
    SAE Technical Papers, 2024
    <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This article explores the impact of friction stir processing (FSP) on the surface modification of magnesium alloy AZ91D. The purpose is to enhance the alloy’s surface qualities and, consequently, improve its performance in various applications. Using FSP, the microstructure and mechanical characteristics of the magnesium alloy are improved through solid-state joining. The study assesses the impact of FSP parameters on the alloy’s surface properties. Researchers adjust parameters such as tool rotation speed and traverse speed to achieve accurate FSP conditions for the intended surface alterations. The surface characteristics of FSP-treated magnesium alloy AZ91D are evaluated through detailed analyses, including microstructure, surface roughness, hardness, and wear resistance. The study considers the effect of FSP on grain development and microhardness, which reflect the immediate impact on surface properties. The study also examines how nano-sized boron nitride (BN) particles are distributed and dispersed during FSP. The addition of BN particles to the alloy through FSP is intended to further improve surface characteristics and wear resistance. The research concludes that FSP has the potential to modify the surface of magnesium alloys, resulting in surfaces with improved properties such as increased hardness, reduced surface roughness, and greater wear resistance. This study contributes to the development of high-performance magnesium-based materials, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, and electrical engineering sectors. FSP can expand the range of applications for magnesium alloy AZ91D and improve its overall performance.</div></div>

  • Real-Time Gearbox Defect Detection Using IIoT-Based Condition Monitoring System
    P. Sivaraman, P. Ilakiya, M.K. Prabhu, Adarsh Ajayan
    SAE Technical Papers, 2023
    <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">In order to guarantee the dependability and effectiveness of industrial machinery, real-time gearbox malfunction detection is extremely important. Traditional approaches to condition monitoring systems sometimes rely on time-consuming human inspections or routine maintenance, which can result in unanticipated failures and expensive downtime. The rise of the industrial Internet of things (IIoT) in recent years has paved the way for more sophisticated and automated monitoring methods. An IIoT-based condition monitoring system is suggested in this study for real-time gearbox failure detection. The gearbox health state is continually monitored by the system using sensor data from the gearbox, such as temperature, vibration, and oil analysis. Real-time transmission of the gathered data is made to a central monitoring hub, where sophisticated analytics algorithms are used to look for any flaws.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study’s potential to improve the dependability and operational effectiveness of industrial gear is what makes it so significant. Real-time defect identification makes it possible to undertake maintenance tasks preemptively, avoiding catastrophic failures and cutting down on downtime. This reduces not just the expenses of unanticipated maintenance but also boosts general productivity and client happiness. The uniqueness of this study comes from the way sophisticated analytics and IIoT technologies were used to find gearbox defects. Despite the literature’s exploration of IIoT-based condition monitoring systems, this work focuses especially on gearbox defect detection, which presents special difficulties because of complicated mechanical dynamics and the existence of several failure scenarios. The suggested methodology provides a thorough and automated method that can precisely identify and diagnose gearbox faults, leading to timely maintenance actions and increased operational reliability. Overall, employing IIoT-based condition monitoring, this work offers a unique and useful method for real-time gearbox failure diagnosis. The results of this study can help improve industrial maintenance procedures, which will enhance machinery performance and decrease downtime across a variety of industries, including manufacturing, energy, and transportation.</div></div>
  • An IoT-Based System for Monitoring Parameters and Passive Cell Balancing of a Lithium-Ion Battery Pack in a Fixed Environmental Temperature Setting
    Sivaraman Parthasarathi, J. Dhanaselvam, K. Saravanakumar, Adarsh Ajayan, M.K. Prabhu
    SAE Technical Papers, 2023
    <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Because of their multiple advantages, lithium-ion batteries are widely employed in a variety of applications ranging from wireless headphones to electric cars. They do, however, have disadvantages such as thermal issues, cell voltage imbalance, and safety concerns. The cell voltage in a battery pack must be balanced in order to determine its overall capacity and lifespan. A battery pack of four 3.7 V/1200 mAh lithium-ion batteries is researched under fixed temperature settings in this paper, with the goal of balancing cell voltages during charging and discharging via passive cell balancing. A battery management system (BMS) is used to monitor changes in cell temperatures, voltage, and current to ensure the lithium-ion battery’s health. The simulation environment was created with MATLAB, and simulation results for various temperatures are provided. The proposed method was tested utilizing a cloud-based battery parameter monitoring system, and the cell-balancing analysis is reported as a result. Overall, this work presents a practical approach for managing and balancing lithium-ion battery cell voltages in order to ensure safe and consistent battery performance.</div></div>
  • Optimizing Front Axle Design for Heavy Commercial Vehicles: A Comprehensive Analysis of Structural and Mechanical Properties
    P. Sivaraman, P. Ilakiya, M.K. Prabhu, Adarsh Ajayan, T. Nithyanandan
    SAE Technical Papers, 2023
    <div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study intends to improve the design of front axles for heavy commercial vehicles, with a major goal of reducing weight while maintaining mechanical strength. The front axle is critical in supporting the weight of the vehicle and facilitating steering while effectively absorbing shocks generated by differences in road surfaces. To achieve these requirements, a front axle beam that minimizes weight, fuel consumption, and stress on the load-carrying member must be designed. In this work, finite element analysis (FEA) techniques are used using CATIA software to assess the structural and mechanical attributes of several front axle designs. The purpose is to pick the best front axle shape depending on specific load situations and driving torque needs. The influence of alternative component shapes on stress and strain distribution is evaluated using surface changes and ANSYS Workbench numerical simulation software. Furthermore, the impact of these structural changes on the mechanical characteristics of the front axle is carefully investigated. The findings of this study will help to shape front axle designs that strike a compromise between weight reduction and mechanical strength, therefore improving the performance and efficiency of big commercial vehicles. This study gives useful insights into optimizing front axle designs by employing modern engineering analytical techniques, which may lead to increased fuel efficiency and lower vehicle maintenance costs.</div></div>
