Stirrup Making Machine by HPFM: Analysis and Optimization

The Stirrup is one of the essential elements of reinforced cement concrete in civil construction. These stirrups are used for strengthening column and beams for avoiding buckling of the long slender column and also avoiding sagging of horizontal beam. In small construction sites workers bend stirrup rod by using the traditional method, In the existing stirrup making operations, the operators have to expend high human energy because of continuous repetitive motion of hands for a long duration which results in very severe internal injury to body organs like carpal tunnel syndrome, spondylitis, muscular-skeletal disorder. In order to compensate above drawbacks, the aim is to formulate an approximate experimental data-based model for human-powered stirrup making activity by using HPFM. Design of experimental work to be executed for establishing, formulation of experimental data based mathematical model for processing time, resistive torque and number of bends for human-powered stirrup making activity.In this book, we developed a mathematical model and its analysis of model others models like the clubbed model, RSM model, and ANN simulation was done. Model comparison was done.
