CE 1.2 Project Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The finite element method magnetics or FEMM is being utilized for optimizing the
unit designing. A magneto rheological fluid or MR fluid can be stated as the kind of smart
fluid within a carrier fluid. This is mainly a type of oil and when it is subjected to a specific
magnetic field, this fluid majorly increments the apparent viscosity and to one point for
becoming a visco elastic solid. The respective yield is being stressed on the active state of
fluid and this could be easily and promptly controlled in an extremely accurate manner after
varying the intensity of magnetic field. The main ability of the fluid is that it can easily
transmit force. In this project, I have designed and fabricated magneto rheological fluid
assisted smart work table for the entire procedure of milling. The thrust force that is present
within this drilling process could be subsequently determined after interfacing the mill table
with accelerometer. I have utilized VMAP software for the vibration readings and then I
compared them in MATLAB software. Therefore, in this project, I had successfully and

efficiently provided a compact design for the magneto rheological fluid assisted smart work
table that would be easily used in the milling process.
CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
While executing this project of Design and Fabrication of Magneto Rheological Fluid
assisted Smart Worktable for Milling Process, I wanted to provide a solution that is easily
used in in milling process and that can provide accurate results. I also wanted to make this
magneto rheological fluid assisted work table in such a manner that it is able to show unique
characteristics although being different from a ferro fluid. Hence, for accomplishing this
project work with better efficiency, I have eventually developed few significant objectives:
 To efficiently provide a completed and compact design for the project of magneto
rheological fluid assisted smart work table.
 To ensure that the work table could be utilized for the milling process.
 To provide accurate and outstanding efficiency in the end product so that it becomes
easier to deal with the complexities of milling process.
 To properly and accurately determine the thrust with the help of dynamometer.
 To select tools and functions efficiently so that the project could be completed in a
better manner.
 To assemble the magneto rheological fluid unit in such a manner that it is stable to
bear the milling forces of auto feed and even speed up to 12200 rpm.
 To use lathe machine for completion of fabrication of magneto rheological unit.
 To use MATLAB software for completion of simulation and plotting of graph without
magneto rheological table.

CE 1.2.3 My area of work
As, while accomplishing the project works, I had experiences in similar field work
regarding mechanical projects such as smart work table and milling machines, I was
eventually appointed as the chief mechanical engineer as well as project developer.
Moreover, I had idea about MATLAB software, thus I did not face any issue while
completing the work. I even have subsequent leadership skill and skill for problem solving,
hence I was selected by my project supervisor to accomplish the project objectives.

CE 1.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
Being mechanical engineer by profession in this project, I had the responsibility was
to propose a compact and complete design of the magneto rheological fluid assisted work
table for milling process. For this purpose, at first I undertook the responsibility of clearing
my doubts by researching properly. I have known that magneto rheological fluid or simply
