The recent advancement of computers, both hardware and software, has led to a rapid development of information-based manufacturing. Applications of laser technology are revolutionizing the process of product development. ...

All mechanical designs pass through a series of formal and informal redesign steps, involving the analysis of functionality, manufacturability, cost and other life-cycle factors. The speed and efficacy of these steps has ...

Although AI planning techniques can potentially be useful in several manufacturing domains, this potential remains largely unrealized. Many of the issues important to manufacturing engineers have not seemed interesting to ...

Surface finish of machined parts determines the functionality of the product and also the machining requirements for making the parts. On-line monitoring of surface finish has been an active area of machining research. ...

On-line measurement of surface roughness is an important element in a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) environment. Current methods of contact measurement are not suitable as they interfere with the machining process. ...

Manufacturing features and feature-based representations have become an integral part of research on manufacturing systems, largely due to their ability to model correspondences between design information and manufacturing ...

Although AI planning techniques can potentially be useful in several manufacturing domains, this potential remains largely unrealized. In order to adapt AI planning techniques to manufacturing, it is important to develop ...

Edge chipping is a phenomenon commonly observed during the machining of ceramic material. Characterization of edge chipping, both in macro and in micro scale, and correlating its formation to machining parameters form a ...

Dental ceramics are gaining popularity because of their esthetics, strength, chemical durability, and bio-compatibility. However, the inherent brittleness of ceramics poses a challenge to the manufacturing community as the ...

A necessary goal in the study of grinding advanced ceramic materials is to define grinding conditions that will machine ceramic components economically while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface integrity of the ...
