Abstract:
Purpose – Agriculture is a major generator of wealth and employment in Australia. However, it faces a range of economic and environmental challenges which require substantial community support. The purpose of this paper is to examine Australian adults’ Australian knowledge of, and attitudes towards, Australian agriculture. Design/methodology/approach – Online questionnaire survey of 1,026 adults conducted nationwide during August 2012. Findings – Most respondents had little knowledge of even the basic aspects of the industry but they approved of farmers’ performance of their roles. Latent class analysis showed that there are two groups of consumers with low and lower levels of knowledge. The respondents’ age, rural residence and universalist values were positive predictors of agricultural knowledge. Research limitations/implications – This was a cross-sectional, quota-based survey which examined only some aspects of agriculture. However, the findings suggest that more communication with the general public about the industry is required in order to build on the positive sentiment that exists within the community. Practical implications – More education about agriculture in schools and higher education is indicated. Social implications – The poor state of knowledge of agriculture threatens the social contract upon which agricultural communities depend for survival. Originality/value – The study highlights the poor state of general knowledge about agriculture in Australia. The findings could be used as a baseline against which the efficacy of future education programmes could be assessed.

Abstract:
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have demonstrated research and developmental interests in numerous fields, like communication, agriculture, industry, smart health, monitoring, and surveillance. In the area of agriculture production, IoT-based WSN has been used to observe the yields condition and automate agriculture precision using various sensors. These sensors are deployed in the agricultural environment to improve production yields through intelligent farming decisions and obtain information regarding crops, plants, temperature measurement, humidity, and irrigation systems. However, sensors have limited resources concerning processing, energy, transmitting, and memory capabilities that can negatively impact agriculture production. Besides efficiency, the protection and security of these IoT-based agricultural sensors are also important from malicious adversaries. In this article, we proposed an IoT-based WSN framework as an application to smart agriculture comprising different design levels. Firstly, agricultural sensors capture relevant data and determine a set of cluster heads based on multi-criteria decision function. Additionally, the strength of the signals on the transmission links is measured while using signal to noise ratio (SNR) to achieve consistent and efficient data transmissions. Secondly, security is provided for data transmission from agricultural sensors towards base stations (BS) while using the recurrence of the linear congruential generator. The simulated results proved that the proposed framework significantly enhanced the communication performance as an average of 13.5% in the network throughput, 38.5% in the packets drop ratio, 13.5% in the network latency, 16% in the energy consumption, and 26% in the routing overheads for smart agriculture, as compared to other solutions.

Abstract:
The land sector is essential to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals. Agriculture and land use contribute between 20 and 25 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The Paris Agreement’s aim to keep the average global temperature rise between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius implies that drastic emission cuts from agriculture are needed. The sequestration potential of agriculture and land use offers an important mechanism to achieve a transition to net-zero carbon emissions worldwide. So far, however, states have been reluctant to address emissions from, and sequestration by, the agricultural sector. Some states that have or are setting up a domestic emission-trading scheme allow for the generation of offsets in agriculture, but only to a limited extent. Australia is the only country that has a rather broad set of methodologies in place to award credits to farmers for all kinds of carbon-farming projects. This article reviews the experience with the Australian model so far, with the objective of articulating transferable lessons for regulatory design aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. It finds that it is possible to regulate for the reduction of emissions from agriculture and for increased sequestration in agricultural soils and in vegetation on agricultural lands, provided that certain conditions are met. Regulation must focus on individual projects at farms, based on a long-term policy that has a wider focus than just emission reduction. Such projects must comply with climate-smart methodologies that ensure the delivery of real, additional, measurable, and verifiable emission reductions and also foster long-term innovation and create economic, social, and environmental co-benefits. Moreover, a robust and reliable mrv system must be put in place.

Abstract:
With the wide application of Internet of things technology and era of large data in agriculture, smart agricultural design based on Internet of things technology can efficiently realize the function of real-time data communication and information processing and improve the development of smart agriculture. In the process of analyzing and processing a large amount of planting and environmental data, how to extract effective information from these massive agricultural data, that is, how to analyze and mine the needs of these large amounts of data, is a pressing problem to be solved. According to the needs of agricultural owners, this article studies and optimizes the data storage, data processing, and data mining of large data generated in the agricultural production process, and it uses the k-means algorithm based on the maximum distance to study the data mining. The crop growth curve is simulated and compared with improved K-means algorithm and the original k-means algorithm in the experimental analysis. The experimental results show that the improved K-means clustering method has an average reduction of 0.23 s in total time and an average increase of 7.67% in the F metric value. The algorithm in this article can realize the functions of real-time data communication and information processing more efficiently, and has a significant role in promoting agricultural informatization and improving the level of agricultural modernization.

Abstract:
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a promising technology with applications in many areas such as environment monitoring, agriculture, the military field or health-care, to name but a few. Unfortunately, the wireless connectivity of the sensors opens doors to many security threats, and therefore, cryptographic solutions must be included on-board these devices and preferably in their design phase. In this vein, Random Number Generators (RNGs) play a critical role in security solutions such as authentication protocols or key-generation algorithms. In this article is proposed an avant-garde proposal based on the cardiac signal generator we carry with us (our heart), which can be recorded with medical or even low-cost sensors with wireless connectivity. In particular, for the extraction of random bits, a multi-level decomposition has been performed by wavelet analysis. The proposal has been tested with one of the largest and most publicly available datasets of electrocardiogram signals (202 subjects and 24 h of recording time). Regarding the assessment, the proposed True Random Number Generator (TRNG) has been tested with the most demanding batteries of statistical tests (ENT, DIEHARDERand NIST), and this has been completed with a bias, distinctiveness and performance analysis. From the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that the output stream of our proposed TRNG behaves as a random variable and is suitable for securing WSNs.

Abstract:
This paper presents a compact and simple design of adjustable triangular and square wave functional generators employing fundamental cells fabricated on a single integrated circuit (IC) package. Two solutions have electronically tunable repeating frequency. The linear adjustability of repeating frequency was verified in the range between 17 and 264 kHz. The main benefits of the proposed generator are the follows: A simple adjustment of the repeating frequency by DC bias current, Schmitt trigger (threshold voltages) setting by DC driving voltage, and output levels in hundreds of mV when the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process with limited supply voltage levels is used. These generators are suitable to provide a simple conversion of illuminance to frequency of oscillation that can be employed for illuminance measurement and sensing in the agriculture applications. Experimental measurements proved that the proposed concept is usable for sensing of illuminance in the range from 1 up to 500 lx. The change of illuminance within this range causes driving of bias current between 21 and 52 μA that adjusts repeating frequency between 70 and 154 kHz with an error up to 10% between the expected and real cases.

Abstract:
Beside traditional mechanical engineering, other engineering branches such as electronics, control engineering and physics play their specific role within the agricultural engineering field. Agricultural engineering has affected and stimulated major changes in agriculture. In the last decades agricultural engineering has also focused on environmental aspects. Nowadays knowledge and expertise generated in several agricultural and environmental engineering fields must be integrated with expertise of biological and socio-economic sciences. In the evolution towards sustainable agricultural systems important contributions can be made. The re-design of production systems and their technology can help to achieve ecologically sound and economically viable agriculture and its acceptance in the community. Mechanization and automation, structures and environment, labour and management, and energy and water are discussed.

Technologies such as next generation sequencing (NGS) are transforming research fields at the methodological, conceptual, and organizational level. They open up new possibilities and bring with them new commitments and inherent limitations. We show from a philosophy of science perspective how NGS-based metagenomics has transformed microbial ecology and, with it, parts of agricultural soil science, which integrate ecological approaches with the aim to inform agricultural practices. We reconstruct agricultural science as design science (sensu Niiniluoto) and describe how the possibilities, commitments, and limitations of metagenomics approaches in microbial ecology shape values, situation assessments, and recommendations for interventions of soil microbiology in the context of sustainable agriculture.

Abstract:
Plant biostimulants (PBs) are an attractive and environmental friendly strategy to mitigate the continuous application of chemical fertilisers which disrupt the environment by degrading soil fertility and contaminating ground water. The research described in this PhD thesis explored strategies to select, characterise and design a new generation of PBs formulations. Numerous parameters are involved in the multistep process of formulating inoculants and add up to an infinite amount of possible approaches. This requires an elaborate and high-throughput screening to narrow down all the possible criteria. Several authors suggest that this is best achieved by using a stepwise screening approach. However, the scientific literature lack of a suitable screening strategy. We addressed this facet by designing a stepwise screening procedure to select the best microbial candidates as promising new active ingredients of PBs products. Furthermore, this screening was validated by using a case study: PGPR combined with humic acids (HA) to be applied on tomato plants. This validation led us to select two PGPR, Pantoea agglomerans MVC 21 and Pseudomonas (Ps.) putida MVC 17 as potential candidates for PBs formulations. Recently, co-inoculation of two or multiple PGPR is used to achieve prominent multifactorial effects on crop productivity. To develop a PGPR consortium, we evaluated how P. agglomerans MVC 21 and Ps. putida MVC 17 interact together and the effect of this interaction on tomato seedlings. Compatibility studies revealed that both strains may be combined in a biostimulant product. Experiments testing the effect of the PGPR interaction indicated that both PGPR interact together and with tomato seedlings mainly by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by P. agglomerans MVC 21. Metabolomic studies pinpointed VOCs belonging to the family of alcohols, ketones and sulfide as the main VOCs released by P. agglomerans MVC 21. Moreover, the identification of the main VOC responsible of the effects of P. agglomerans MVC 21 VOCs deciphered new ecological roles of VOCs as chemical signals able to modulate behaviour of PGPR as well as the interaction between plants and PGPR. Another promising area of PBs formulations is the use of HA combined with PGPR which have shown to better benefit plant growth. Our study, conducted under in vitro conditions, showed that HA synergistically modulate plant growth-promoting activities of P. agglomerans MVC 21. Whole genome sequencing analysis of P. agglomerans MVC 21 will be subject of future studies. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis will be carried out to better understand the effect of HA on P. agglomerans MVC 21 genes related to plant growth-promoting activities.

Abstract:
A cryogenic thermoelectric generator is proposed to increase the efficiency of a vehicle propulsion system that uses liquid nitrogen as its fuel. The proposed design captures some of the heat required for vaporizing or initial heating of the liquid nitrogen to produce electricity. The thermoelectric generator uses pressurized liquid nitrogen as its cold reservoir and ambient air as the high-temperature reservoir to generate power. This study concentrated on the selection of thermoelectric materials whose properties would result in the highest efficiency over the operating temperature range and on estimating the initial size of the generator. The preliminary selection of materials is based upon their figure of merit at the operating temperatures. The results of this preliminary design investigation of the cryogenic thermoelectric generator indicate that sufficient additional energy can be used to increase overall efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle of a vehicle propulsion system.

Thesis (Doctor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering)--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.
Lignocellulosic biomass (agro-waste) has been recommended as the most promising feedstock for the production of bioalcohols, in the biofuel industry. Furthermore, agro-waste is well-known as the most abundant organic matter in the agricultural and forestry product processing industry. However, the challenge with utilizing agro-waste as a feedstock is its highly recalcitrant structure, which limits hydrolysis to convert the holocelluloses into fermentable sugars. Conventional pre-treatment methods such as dilute acid, alkaline, thermal, hot water and enzymatic, have been used in previous studies. The challenge with these conventional methods is the generation of residual toxicants during the pretreatment process, which inhibits a high bioalcohol yield, by reducing the microbial populations’ (fermenter) ability to be metabolically proficient during fermentation. Numerous studies have been developed to improve the engineered strains, which have shown to have an ability to reduce the inhibition and toxicity of the bioalcohols produced or by-products produced during pre-treatment, while enhancing the bioalcohol production. In the present study (chapter 5), evaluation of common conventional methods for the pretreatment of the mixed agro-waste, i.e. (˃45µm to <100µm) constituted by Citrus sinensis, Malus domestica peels, corn cobs from Zea mays and Quercus robur (oak) yard waste without a pre-rinsing step at a ratio of 1:1 at 25% (w/w) for each waste material, was undertaken, focusing on hot water pre treatment followed by dilute acid (H2SO4) pre-treatment. To further pretreat the mixed agro-waste residue, cellulases were used to further hydrolyse the pre-treated agro-waste in a single pot (batch) multi-reaction process. The TRS concentration of 0.12, 1.43 and 3.22 g/L was achieved with hot water, dilute acid and cellulases hydrolysis as sequential pretreatment steps, respectively, in a single pot multi-reaction system. Furthermore, a commercial strain was used to ascertain low (C1 to C3) and high carbon content (C4+) bioalcohol production under aerobic conditions. Multiple bioproducts were obtained within 48 to 72 h, including bioethanol and 1-Butanol, 3-methyl, which were major products for this study. However, undesirable bio-compounds such as phenolics, were detected post fermentation. Since multiple process units characterised by chemical usage and high energy intensivity have been utilized to overcome delignification and cellulolysis, a sustainable, environmental benign pretreatment process was proposed using N. mirabilis “monkey cup” fluids (extracts) to also reduce fermenter inhibitors from the delignification of mixed agrowaste; a process with minimal thermo physical chemical inputs for which a single pot multi-reaction system strategy was used. Nepenthes mirabilis extracts shown to have ligninolytic, cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities, were used as an enzyme cocktail to pretreat mixed agro-waste, subsequent to the furtherance of TRS production from the agro-waste, by further using cellulase for further hydrolysis. N. mirabilis pod extracts were determined to contained carboxylesterases (529.41±30.50 U/L), β-glucosidases (251.94±11.48 U/L) and xylanases (36.09±18.04 U/L), constituting an enzymatic cocktail with a significant potential for the reduction in total residual phenolic compounds (TRPCs). Furthermore, the results indicated that maximum concentration of TRS obtainable was 310±5.19 mg/L within 168 h, while the TRPCs were reduced from 6.25±0.18 to 4.26 ±0.09 mg/L, which was lower than that observed when conventional methods were used. Overall N. mirabilis extracts were demonstrated to have an ability to support biocatalytic processes for the conversion of agro-waste to produce fermentable TRS in a single unit facilitating multiple reactions with minimised interference with cellulase hydrolysis. Therefore, the digestive enzymes in N. mirabilis pods can be used in an integrated system for a second generation biorefinery.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The use of Faraday's Law to design and realize a miniature electromechanical generator that converts mechanical energy from human motion into stored electrical energy was investigated in this thesis. The design incorporates simple materials composed of ferrite cores, a coil, springs and permanent magnets to convert mechanical energy provided by a user to electrical energy for storage. The generator takes advantage of a dual air-gapped electromechanical system with permanent magnets to regulate flux through a coil around a high-permeability ferrite core. Use of a compression force provided by the user reduces the air gaps in the system, causing a rapid change in flux resulting in an electromotive force that produces a current in the circuit. Laboratory testing of a generator prototype design verifies energy production of the mechanism and investigates the relationship between the inductance range of operation for the generator and its performance characteristics. Storage of energy produced by the generator is demonstrated using two different rectification circuits and is examined during different stages of one full stroke of the generator device. Additionally, this thesis presents a simulation that models the electromechanical energy conversion.

Abstract:
The rise in popularity of renewable energy solutions, in particular wind energy systems, has resulted in a greater demand for low-speed direct-drive machines. The Vernier machine has inherent properties such as high torque density, sinusoidal induced voltages and low torque ripple which makes it suitable for low-speed direct-drive wind applications. Additionally, its mechanical structure is as simple as a conventional permanent magnet (PM) machine, whilst eliminating the need for a mechanical gearbox. The research problem addressed by this dissertation relates to the assessment of the Vernier permanent magnet (VPM) machine topology for direct-drive wind applications. It aims to outline a sizing, detailed design and analysis approach for a three-phase VPM wind generator. Furthermore, a comparative study is conducted using two different rotor types and two different stator types, namely; spoke-type and surface-mounted and fractional slot and integral slot respectively. Vernier theory is used to size the designs after which 2D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations are used to analyse and validate the designs. The main outcome of the comparative study is an assessment of the suitability of four topologies for the direct-drive wind application. The design is assessed on parameters which are critical for wind turbine functionality; namely efficiency, torque ripple, torque density and material consumption. The most suitable of the topologies is selected for prototyping. The rotor is made more robust by adding structural features which mechanically secure laminations and PMs to the shaft. The FEA analysis of the prototype showed favourable performance characteristics, albeit with a small cost in power density. The prototype was -thus manufactured with further mechanical reinforcements made to the bearing system. Experimental results reveal the presence of a defect in the windings. Parameters which are dependent on the winding design are much lower than the analytical and FEA values. These parameters include resistance, inductance, and back-EMF. Further work should look into determining the root cause of the prototype defects.

Abstract:
A 30′ × 60′ greenhouse is being installed on the Western Kentucky University Agriculture Department campus farm that will be heated during winter by energy captured during the decomposition of leaves into compost. The bio-generated heat collection and distribution system was designed, and is currently being built and tested by undergraduate mechanical engineering students at WKU. Currently, the WKU Agriculture Department takes all leaves collected by the city of Bowling Green, processing and selling the resulting compost. While the leaves are composting, a temperature of over 150 °F is reached in the center of the leave piles. Student teams have designed and are installing a water piping system below the leaves to capture the waste heat and deliver the water to a root-zone heating system in the greenhouse. The design also includes a subsurface storage tank and auxiliary heating system to extend the capacity of the heating system. It is intended that WKU Agriculture will be able to operate the greenhouse for educational purposes throughout the year, and also provide the design to regional farmers who currently have greenhouses but cannot afford to heat them during Kentucky winters. This paper will detail the design of the heat collection system below the composting leaves, including sizing calculations and experimental verification, to permit uninterrupted composting activities. The root-zone heating system design will also be covered, including sizing calculations of the piping installation within sand beds in the greenhouse. The overall system control, energy storage and supplemental heating will also be discussed. The goal of the project has been to evaluate the feasibility of a cost-effective agricultural heating system for use in moderate climates throughout the United States.

Abstract:
Abstract This research focuses on improving the outcome of idea generation sessions of interdisciplinary student teams working in the early design stages of a product or solution by measuring the effect of incorporating Design Heuristics Cards at different points of ideation sessions that adhere to the brainstorming guidelines. Using the design thinking methodology, an open-ended challenge was given to the participating teams for a Brainstorming exercise divided into a fifteen-minute individual segment followed by a thirty-minute team ideation segment. Three experimental treatments were designed where Design Heuristics Cards were introduced at different points of the ideation exercise: the start of the individual ideation segment, the start of the team ideation segment, or the second half of the team ideation segment. A fourth control treatment did not introduce the cards at any point but used the Brainstorming guidelines throughout. The metrics observed were Fluency, Novelty, Feasibility, and Market Fit of the ideas generated by the students. Eighty-four students participated in the experiment, with 58.3% being from majors in the College of Engineering, 28.6% from majors in the College of Business Administration, 7.1% from majors in the College of Arts and Sciences, and 6.0% from majors in the College of Agriculture. No significant difference was found among the experimental treatments; however the results are not considered final due to the explorative nature of the study. Recommendations are made on future work and possible improvements to the experiment.

Abstract:
Abstract Design of the combustor is of high priority in microturbine generators (MTG) due to the small and compact configuration of these type of generators and high range of the shaft revolution (normally over 100k rpm). Design process of the MTG components including the micro combustor and turbomachinery also require accurate description of the combustion phenomena, heat transfer, emission level and performance analysis of the system. Design of combustors for renewable fuels such as biogas has several complications including overcoming the lower heating value of the biogas (normally 1/3 of the natural gas), combustion instabilities and corrosion effects of burning these types of fuels. The main benefit of burning a carbon neutral fuel (e.g., biogas), however will be in reducing the carbon emission by avoiding fossil fuels and achieving the environmental targets (e.g., Paris Agreement). The tubular combustors are in the centre of attention in design and operations of the microturbines due to their low cost and the level of emission. This research work presents the design procedure and CFD modelling of a tubular combustor for a biogas burnt microturbine engine assembly. The biogas is generated from anaerobic digestions of agriculture waste and include a 57% and 43% mixture of methane and CO2 respectively. All the combustor parts are designed with empirical and practical equations and dimensions are optimised by CFD simulations. Operation of the combustor is then analysed in terms of its gaseous emissions. Finally, the operation of the new combustor in a closed heat and power cycle was verified and compared with conventional combustor of the microturbine burning diesel fuel, and as a result all the benefits and considerations for the application of biogas in microturbine assembly are carefully remarked and discussed.

Abstract:
Current conditions related to food security lead to study alternative forms of food production in cities such as vertical urban farming in high dense urban environments. This paper discusses the development of the Innovate UK award-winning project consisting of a dynamic system model that generates a large dataset of artificial environments linked to a multi-objective optimization model of urban massing for one square kilometer of development along the coastline of Singapore. The scope of the model is to reach the highest level of self-sufficiency in relation to food consumption. The model operates, as a dynamic system constituted of different subsystems including transport, water, agriculture and energy. These systems dynamically interact among each other and with their environment, which is considered the primary source of energy and the main provider of hydrological resources. A large dataset of artificial environments is created employing a Dynamic System Modelling Software; this includes different scenarios of environmental stress such as sea level rise, population growth or changes on the demand side. Such dataset of artificial environments serves as an input for the multi-objective optimization model that employs genetic algorithms to produce a large data set of urban massing including the distribution of a range of food production technologies in relation to pre-established conditions for vertical urban agriculture and compatibility with other urban programs. Connectivity, solar radiation and visual cones are the fitness criteria against which the model has been tested. This paper assesses whether artificial environments further away from the pareto front produce populations of urban design solutions that respond to extreme environmental conditions and environmental shocks.

Abstract:
Biomass is a significant renewable energy source in Tuscany. A GIS-based software model, jointly developed by the Energetics Department of the University of Florence (DEF), the Agriculture and Forestry Economic Department of the University of Florence (DEEAF) and Energia Trasporti Agricoltura (ETA) in the framework of a LIFE supported project (BIOSIT) has been used to estimate the available resources in the Tuscany region. In this context, a gas turbine cycle based on a dual combustion system has been considered (DCGT, Dual Combustion Gas Turbine). The size of the plant (∼100 kWe) targets small decentralised power generation. The DCGT system aims at achieving a great flexibility through both internal and external firing. In fact, the adoption of an external combustion chamber makes possible to adapt the plant to various types of solid biomass without affecting significantly the thermodynamic cycle and therefore the performances. The technical analysis of available industrial components (gas turbine, heat exchanger, biomass combustor) has been carried out. The computation of the thermodynamic performances was carried out by a dedicate in-house developed software. The economic analysis was performed for the proposed system, and a sensitivity analysis on the critical parameters elaborated. The use of natural gas and bioethanol was also compared in the dual combustion mode.

Abstract:
Cloth has always been the most worldwide of all imported and exported commodities. It is an enlightening example of the movement of knowledge, skills, goods and investment across wide geographic seats. South Asia has been dominant for making of these worldwide interactions over period. This capacity grants advanced research that discovers the dynamic ways in which various textile production and trade regions generated the ‘first globalization’. A series of specialists connect this worldwide commodity with the dramatic political and economic alterations that characterised the India in the recent centuries. Together, the papers transform our understanding of the contribution of South Asian cloth, specifically Indian cloth to make the modern world economy. India is the largest share of its exports being textiles and apparels to the world. Also weaving is second only to agriculture sector in terms of providing employment in India. This paper a simple spreadsheet program method of calculations for the complete kinematics and dynamic analysis of the shedding mechanism of the classical powerloom is presented. Shedding is one of the important processes used in weaving technology of textile machineries. Most of the powerlooms of India uses staubli’s M5 module for shedding. These modules are activated through the traditional slider-crank mechanism. The source energy for these modules is through electric motor coupled with clutch and resulting output is shedding action of warp threads of cloth. Objective of this work is to address the kinematics and Dynamics simulation of linkage assembly of shedding mechanism of textile machinery considering all the links of the model as rigid one. Also this paper examines the effect of dynamic forces on various joints of conventional kinematic model. Subsequently the optimisation of mechanism is carried out by varying the design factor ratio of the slider crank mechanism. Length of connecting rod to radius of the crank shaft has been taken into account for defining design factor ratio for the analysis. Altered varieties of models having various design factors are modeled using 3D modeling package Solidworks. Simulation test results and force analysis of these models were carried out using ADAMS. Being a single degree of freedom mechanism as defined by its crank angle, the spreadsheet program can be used to answer what - if? situation queries through tables and graphical plots to evaluate variations of key motion and loading parameters with changes in the design factor. Thus, it allows for the conduct of parameter studies in selecting optimum crank-and-connecting-rod linkage dimensions and speeds. Thus, this work provides an alternative solution and scope for further research in shedding mechanism’s simulation analysis.
