Objectives: In this research, enhancement of Impact Strength is done using Polycarbonate material by Optimizing the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Process Parameter. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This study features four important process parameters namely layer thickness, build orientation, raster angle and raster width whose influence on Impact Strength is studied. Experiments were conducted based on Taguchi Design of Experiments methodology. The current work finds out the optimum parameter settings required to obtain maximum impact strength on Polycarbonate Material. Analysis of Variancetest (ANOVA) was performed to find the most influencing process parameter on Impact strength. A confirmatory test using the optimum process parameters was also carried out. Findings: It was found that all four parameters interact collectively with each other to obtain variation in Impact Strength values. Layer thickness influences Impact Strength the most as compared to the other considered process parameters. The results of the study show that the value of Impact strength corresponding to the optimum input parameters of layer thickness, 0.254 mm; build orientation, 30°; raster width, 0.904 mm and raster angle 60°, was found to be 68.4J/m. The findings of the confirmatory test were very close and in good agreement. Applications/Improvements: The machinists and engineers would be benefitted by selecting the optimized values for enhancing the impact strength of FDM Built parts.Keywords

Growth of crops obeys certain physiological principles, which have been described, most of the times, in qualitative terms but can be quantified in response to the environment by mathematical formulae by linking the equations to each other. In process, a mathematical model is obtained that can be written as a computer program. Rapid accumulation of knowledge in the agricultural fields and increased accessibility to information technology have contributed to the development of a wide number of agricultural models. Crop simulation models can be used as a tool to assist farmer in their decisions on agronomic and management operations.References

Forest ecosystems form an intricate nonlinear relationship with their surroundings. Therefore, the underlying processes are difficult to quantify. As a result, it makes the task quite challenging to evaluate the response of vegetation to their surrounding environment1. Predicting responses of vegetation dynamics requires a clear understanding of how different physiological and ecological processes are influenced by environmental drivers. A clear causality between the types and levels of stresses and corresponding responses of forests is necessary for making any rational inferences2. Significant progress in scientific understanding of plant–environment relationship, supplemented with the historical sequence of discoveries, is gradually improving the knowledge about the underlying functional relationship of plants with the environment. On the other hand, improved computational capabilities to handle multiple complex equations representing various functional relationships have made it possible to upscale the eco-physiological processes from an individual leaf to a global forest cover through computer-based programs, usually termed as a ‘Model’.References
