This thesis presents a comprehensive methodology for the design of a hybrid manufacturing shop layout that comprises both manufacturing cells and individual workcenters. The proposed approach targets the minimization of ...

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 ...

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 ...

In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, optimization of advanced equipment and process designs must include both manufacturing metrics (such as cycle time, consumables cost, and product quality) and environmental ...

The measurement of surface roughness during a machining process is critical for the automatic control of surface quality in a computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system. In this work, a method of surface roughness ...

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 report describes a feature-based approach to automated design of multi-piece sacrificial molds. We use multi-piece sacrificial molds to create complex 3D polymer/ceramic parts. Multi-piece molds refer to molds that ...

The size of milling cutter significantly affects the machining time. Therefore, in order to perform milling operations efficiently, we need to select a set of milling cutters with optimal sizes. It is difficult for human ...

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 ...
