The design and implementation of an automated system that generates group technology (GT) codes for microwave modules (MWM) is presented. An established GT coding scheme (MICLASS) was employed to capture the mechanical ...

Often there can be a number of ways to perform machining operations on a stock to produce a part, and only some of them are cost- and quality-effective. To determine the best machining sequence, it is necessary that each ...

In research on concurrent engineering and engineering design, the increasing use of design for manufacturability(DFM) is expanding the scope of traditional design activities in order to identify and eliminate manufacturing ...

Previously, we have described two systems, EDAPS and EXTRA, which support design and process planning for the manufacture of microwave modules, complex devices with both electrical and mechanical attributes. EDAPS integrates ...

This paper presents an experimental study of the turning of a ceramic material - aluminum oxide (A12O3). Emphasis is given to gain a comprehensive understanding of the cutting mechanism. This study explores the utilization ...

A mathematical modeling of a Machining Operation Systems to evaluate stresses generated by the cutting force during machining, was modeled using finite element method. The geometric model was assembled using patran commands. ...

This study is an investigation into the mechanics in machining ceramic materials. Extensive experimentation is done in an effort to understand the process of material removal. The theory of fracture mechanics is used to ...

In the marketplace of the 21st century, there is no place for traditional ``over-the-wall'' communications between design and manufacturing. In order to ``design it right the very first time,'' designers must ensure that ...

In the marketplace of the 21st century, there is no place for traditional communications between design and manufacturing. In order to ``design it right the first time,'' designers must ensure that their products are both ...

Because of pressing demands to reduce lead time and product cost, increasing research attention is being given to integration of engineering design and manufacturing. In this thesis, a systematic approach has been developed ...
