Teaching New Product Development through a Product Engineering Approach
(1997)
This paper describes experiences gained in teaching a new course aimed at providing junior-level undergraduate engineering students with some of the fundamentals needed in developing new products. A six-stage engineering ...
Integrated Product and Process Design Environment Tool for Manufacturing T/R Modules
(1997)
We present a decision making assistant tool for integrated product and process design environment for manufacturing applications. Specifically, we target microwave modules which use Electro-mechanical components and require ...
Analysis of Heat Transfer in a Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactor: An Eigenfunction Expansion Solution Approach
(1997)
A numerical solution procedure combining several weighted residual methods and based on global trial function expansion is developed to solve a model for the steady state gas flow field and temperature distribution in a ...
Integrated Dynamic Simulation of Rapid Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition of Polysilicon
(1997)
A physically-based dynamic simulator has been constructed to investigate the time-dependent behavior of equipment process, sensor, and control system for rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD) of polysilicon from ...
Economic Evaluation of Rapid Prototyping Technology for the Development of New Products
(1997)
This paper presents results obtained from a study of cost structure and cost estimation for applying the rapid prototyping technology in the process of developing new products. The laser- based rapid prototyping technology ...
Locators and Sensors for Automated Coordinate Checking Fixtures
(1997)
This article proposes a systematic method for the optimal design of sensor locations for an automated Coordinate Checking Fixture (CCF). The fixture can be employed for making at-machine assessments of the dimensional ...
Design Similarity Measures for Process Planning and Design Evaluation
(1997)
Design engineers and process planners need to search for similar designs. Design engineers use similar designs to estimate a new design's manufacturability. Like process planners, who need to generate process plans before ...
Education in Semiconductor Manufacturing Processes through Physically-Based Dynamic Simulation
(1997)
We have developed physically-based dynamic simulators relevant to semiconductor manufacturing processes, which realistically reflect the time-dependent behavior of equipment, process, sensor, and control systems using ...
Stiffness Modeling of a Stewart Platform Based Milling Machine"
(1997)
This paper presents the development of a mathematical model describing the stiffness of a Stewart-platform-based milling machine. Matrix structural analysis is used to derive the stiffness matrix for each of the elements ...
Dynamic Variation of the Workspace of an Octahedral Hexapod Machine Tool During Machining
(1997)
A method is presented to evaluate the workspace variation of a Stewart platform based machine tool. Four sets of constraints, covering strut lengths, platform spherical joint angles, base spherical joint angles, and strut ...
