  • Design and Optimization of Miniaturized Actuation System with Systematic Dual-Output Compliant Displacement Amplification
    Rohan R. Ozarkar, Nilesh P. Salunke, Prajitsen G. Damle, Rahul Shukla, Shakeelur Raheman, Khursheed B. Ansari
    Actuators, 2026
    Compliant displacement amplification mechanisms are widely used in MEMSs and micro-actuated systems to enhance the limited stroke of micro-actuators. However, systematic integration of instantaneous center building block (IC-BB)-based conceptual design and structured post-synthesis optimization for symmetric single-input dual-output compliant displacement amplification mechanisms (SIDO-CDAMs) remains limited in the literature. In this work, a symmetric SIDO-CDAM is first conceptually synthesized using the IC-BB approach by employing only compliant dyad building blocks (CDBs), resulting in a mechanism that produces dual outputs in the same direction. The synthesized conceptual mechanism is subsequently realized with necessary geometric refinements and modeled to validate the conceptual design. A two-stage post-synthesis optimization framework is then proposed to enhance geometrical advantage (GA) while reducing stiffness. In Stage-1, Taguchi design of experiments combined with analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to screen design parameters, identify the dominant factor, and fix it at its optimal level to eliminate masking effects. In Stage-2, a reduced Taguchi design integrated with gray relational analysis (GRA) is applied for multi-response optimization based on finite element analysis (FEA). Regression models and FEA-based confirmation tests are employed to validate the optimized design. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in displacement amplification with a simultaneous reduction in stiffness compared to the base design. The proposed IC-BB-based conceptual synthesis, coupled with structured post-synthesis optimization, provides a robust and computationally efficient framework for the development of micro-actuation and precision engineering applications.
  • Experimental and numerical investigation of a heat-pipe-assisted water-cooled battery thermal management system for a 10-cell lithium-ion module
    Satish Patil, Prajitsen Damle, Pawan Devidas Meshram
    Engineering Research Express, 2026
    To guarantee safety, performance, and a long lifespan, lithium-ion battery packs in electric cars need to function within a small temperature range that is evenly distributed throughout the pack. This work investigates a compact Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) for a 10-cell lithium-ion module using star-shaped heat pipes coupled with a water-cooled duct. A 3D conjugate heat-transfer model is developed in ANSYS Fluent, in which heat generation within the cells is represented as a uniform volumetric source corresponding to the measured electrical losses (57.6 W total for the module at 3C). The model solves the transient conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy in the cooling water, and heat conduction in the cells, heat pipes and structural housing. In this research, an experimental test bench reproducing the same geometric configuration is built. Constant-current discharges at 1C, 2C and 3C are performed with varying inlet water velocities of 0.25 m s −1 , 0.5 m s −1 and 0.75 m s −1 for each C rate. The temperatures are recorded at multiple locations on the module. For this reference, the experimentally measured average maximum module temperatures are approximately 301 K, 303.7 K and 309 K at 1C, 2C and 3C respectively, while the corresponding numerical predictions are 301 K, 303 K and 308 K. The difference between simulated and experimental average temperatures is less than 1 K for all C-rates, confirming the accuracy of the numerical model. Compared with conventional cylindrical and flat heat-pipe BTMS reported in the literature, the proposed star-shaped configuration significantly enhances multi-cell contact area and packaging efficiency, enabling safe module operation (Tmax < 312 K at 3C) at a low coolant velocity of only 0.25 m s −1 , thereby demonstrating improved thermal–hydraulic performance for compact EV battery modules while maintaining low coolant flow requirements beneficial for EV energy efficiency.
  • Tribo-corrosion and Wear Resistance of Biomedical Materials: A Comprehensive Review
    Dhiraj Rajendra Jadhav, Prajitsen G. Damle, Satish R. More
    Materials Science Forum, 2025
    This comprehensive review paper provides an in-depth analysis of the tribo-corrosion behaviour and wear resistance of biomedical materials, focusing on their application in orthopaedic and dental implant settings. Various materials such as titanium alloys, stainless steel, CoCrMo alloy, UHMWPE, and Ti-based alloys are examined for their mechanical, tribological, and corrosion properties. The impact of surface modifications, coatings, and manufacturing techniques on the performance of these materials is thoroughly explored. Experimental investigations and characterization techniques including SEM analysis, X-ray diffraction, nanoindentation, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are utilized to assess tribo-corrosion behaviour, wear resistance, and mechanical properties. The significance of specific parameters such as coating thickness, temperature, sliding speed, and load in determining the performance of biomedical materials is highlighted. The review emphasizes the need for continued research and development to enhance the tribological properties of biomedical metallic materials, with promising implications for orthopaedic implant longevity and human health.

  • Development of novel hybrid green polymer composites (HGPC) with a combination of biowaste material as fillers
    D. V. Lohar, A. M. Nikalje, P. G. Damle
    Polylactic Acid Composites Sustainable Biocomposites, 2023
    Every manufacturing industry must now focus on producing ecological products for use in engineering. Despite the current lack of natural resource-based polymers and composites as viable alternatives to conventional polymers, which contribute to issues related to pollution and disposal. The most suitable method for components with complicated geometries is additive manufacturing (AM). The polymer-based biocomposites mainly consist of polylactic acid (PLA) matrix and researchers strived for development of PLA biocomposites with the addition of various biofillers like coconut fibers, coconut shell powders, and wood powder. Many researchers are working to develop ecological and natural source polymers with the inclusion of bio-based fillers to enhance the usability in the field of various technological applications and many more, considering the creation of eco-friendly materials and concerns about waste control on a global scale. Making complex geometric components with AM is a new technology. Bio-based materials and composites are developed as an effect of ecological factors and the requirement for environmentally friendly products. Since polymeric materials are a significant source of pollution, many researchers are working to create eco-friendly or green polymeric materials. On the other hand, a variety of by-products from the food industry, agriculture, and other industries produce large amounts of biowaste materials that can be used to produce novel polymeric biocomposites. The thin filament was melted and deposited layer by layer on bed surface in AM. PLA, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyhydroxyalkanoates and polyamide are some of the materials that are frequently utilized in AM. Due to its biodegradability, PLA is a particularly popular and acceptable polymer out of them. A recent trend is the manufacturing of thin wires from bioecological polymers such PLA and its allied composites for the purpose of AM. This is due to the fact that bio-based composite filaments are more affordable, environmentally friendly, and suited for a range of industrial applications. Aliphatic polyester, or PLA, is a synthetic fiber made from plants like corn, sugarcane, sugar beets, cassava, and potatoes. The limitations of PLA, such as its poor density, low flammability, and reduced melting temperature, make it unsuitable for usage at temperatures that are rather high. On a day of intense heat, PLA may even start to deform or become soft. The PLA plastic is not the strongest or hardest. When toughness ability and resistance to impact are important, PLA is inappropriate. This work is carried out to develop PLA biocomposites blended with fillers of bio-based waste. This research focuses on the development of biocomposites employing waste wall nut shell, waste of egg shells, and white marble waste powder as a blending medium and PLA as the main base material. Six different novel filament types with diameter of 1.75 mm were extruded using a single screw extruder, and specimens of composites were prepared on a 3D printer for evaluation of mechanical properties as per to ASTM standards for hardness, melting point, tensile behavior strength, and flexural strength as well as other properties like microstructure, biodegradability, and water absorption behavior. For practical applications, it is also examined whether novel biocomposites with improved features could be used.
