The inhalation of therapeutic drug particles is a widely used method for delivering drugs to treat lung covid after the person get infected. Understanding the transportation and deposition (TD) of inhaled drug particles in human lung airways is important for health risk assessment and therapeutic efficiency of targeted drug delivery for a covid affected person especially those who are already suffering from asthma. In this study, I have conducted cfd analysis of different lung geometry of healthy persons belonging to different age groups and compared it with the different lung geometry of persons who are affected by asthma. Here I took asthma condition in which there is a contraction of lung airway diameter of about 45%. I also conducted a cfd analysis to understand the penetration of corona, dpi and smi in the lung generation of G3-G6.The Experiment is conducted among the age group of 6years, 40years and 70 years.I drew a conclusion from the experiment conducted 2023-07-01T00:00:00Z http://210.212.227.212:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/485 Title: NEURAL NETWORK-BASED PREDICTION OF MODIFIED CFRP COMPOSITES USED IN AEROSPACE APPLICATION Authors: Mohammed, Sanal B; Kannan, S Abstract: CFRPs, or carbon fiber reinforced polymers, are renowned for having superior wear characteristics. In this study, we compared the wear properties of polycar bonate (PC)/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) modified di-glycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) based CFRPs with electrophoretically deposited (EPD) car bon fibers. We studied the wear rate (WR) and coefficient of friction (COF) of EPD-modified CF with flexible silanized graphene oxide (SGO) bonds using pin on-disk experiments. The findings showed significant decreases in COF and WR of 25% and 34%, respectively. Additionally, the behaviour of the CFRP system with PC/ABS varied depending on the blend ratios. The COF and WR of blends such 70/30, 50/50, and 30/70 showed varied tendencies, however, 10/90 and 90/10 showed consistent decremental patterns, with 90/10 achieving maximum reductions of 19% and 37.9%, respectively. We also looked at how applied load and sliding speed affected wear severity, which changed the wear mechanism from abrasion to delamination. Two testing scenarios were used in the study: room temperature (RT) and cryo-treated (CT). The sample composition was found to be the most important parameter in terms of volume loss using analysis of variance (ANOVA). A Taguchi analysis was also car ried out to optimize the parameters and provide the desired result. We used three predictive models to forecast wear behaviour: the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, Artificial Neural Network, and linear regression. The Levenberg-Marquardt algo rithm showed the best performance based on mean squared error (MSE) loss, with 2.7% MSE for RT and 2.15% MSE for CT, demonstrating its potential for precise wear behaviour prediction in CFRP composites. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm has a lot of potential for forecasting how CFRP composites will wear. This discovery aids in the comprehension and improvement of CFRP materials for a range of applications needing dependable wear performance. 2023-07-12T00:00:00Z http://210.212.227.212:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/484 Title: PATIENT SPECIFIC DESIGN AND FEA BASED OPTIMIZATION OF ANKLE FOOT ORTHOSI Authors: Milan, M; Kannan, S Abstract: The digital workflow in orthotics and Prosthetics is the use of digital technology and tools to simplify and streamline the fabrication process of a prosthetics or an orthosis. There are a significant range of digital tools on the market and now, I am currently integrating them to create a digital workflow to design a angle foot orthotic device for foot drop.Foot drop,is a condition characterized by difficulty or inability to lift the front part of the foot, leading to dragging or scuffing of the foot while walking.The most common cause of foot drop is nerve damage,particularly to the peroneal nerve, which controls the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion. An Ankle Foot orthosis (AFO) is a medical device used to support and stabilize the ankle and foot. It is commonly prescribed for individuals who have difficulty with foot and ankle control due to conditions such as muscle weakness, paralysis, or neurological disorders. The primary function of an AFO is to provide support and alignment to the ankle and foot, helping to control and guide their movements during walking or other activities. This project focuses on the design of an AFO using digital workflow. Using the finite element method, computational and experimental assessments of the AFO structure were performed to determine the ideal force that could be applied in the event of 2023-07-11T00:00:00Z http://210.212.227.212:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/483 Title: GAME-BASED HAND REHABILITATION TO IMPROVE MOBILITY FOR POST-STROKE PATIENTS Authors: Athul, V; Kannan, S Abstract: Stroke is a significant global health concern affecting millions of people each year. Stroke related disabilities can manifest in a variety of ways, and their impact on a person's life can be very different. Strokes can cause problems like Physical disabilities, communication difficulties, etc. Eighty percent of stroke survivors are constrained by upper limb impairment, and only five to ten percent demonstrate full functional recovery. The process of recovery and the likelihood of improvement differ as well. In order to recover function and accommodate their disabilities, stroke survivors need the assistance of rehabilitation and therapy. Significant rehabilitation methods with a simple application are required to increase patient compliance and exploit the potential neuroplasticity that could improve an improvement in quality of life. Gamification research trends have shown great variation in many e-health domains, particularly when it comes to addressing the concerns of rehabilitation and physical activity. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to check the feasibility of introducing gamification in the field of stroke rehabilitation. This study includes the responses of different clinicians and physiotherapists, game development using a recommended game engine for hand rehabilitation and the required hardware for development, and data collection 2023-07-12T00:00:00Z
