This paper presents the development of a new stochastic approach to characterize random tool motion during machining. The complexity of cutting mechanism is represented by a random excitation system related to physical ...

Full control and management of information flow in an automated factory has not yet been achieved, mainly because of the data inconsistencies and lack of established functional relationships among different manufacturing ...

Of all the processes used to shape metals, it is machining in which the conditions of operation are most varied. Good dimensional accuracy and surface quality from machining processes should be maintained such that the ...

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 ...

This thesis presents a study of the thrust and torque generated during drilling processes, with emphasis on applications to perform on-line monitoring of drilling processes. Two mathematical models are developed for ...

This paper is devoted to the behavior, evaluation and management of non-cyclic discrete systems in general and manufacturing systems in particular. We introduce a special type of Petri nets called CFIOs (Conflict-Free nets ...

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 ...

This paper presents a new and systematic approach to assist decision-making in selecting machining operation sequences. The approach is to produce alternative interpretations of design as different collections of machinable ...

This paper focuses on the development of a methodology within a software environment for automating the rule based implementation of specifications of integrated manufacturing information systems. The specifications are ...

A graphical representation schema - Updated Petri Nets (UPN) - has been developed to model rule based company policy specifications, in the context of computer integrated manufacturing systems. UPN facilitates the modeling ...
