Abstract: In any industrial assembly process, there are a number of sources of variation. Variation in the manufacturing process leads to component variation, which, together with fixture variation and variation stemming from the ...

Abstract: Every series of manufactured products has geometric variation. Variation can lead to products that are difficult to assemble or products not fulfilling functional or aesthetic requirements. In this paper, we will consider ...

Abstract: The thermal management is an ever increasing challenge in advanced electronic devices. In this paper, simulation-based optimization is applied to improve the design of a plate-fin heat-sink in terms of operational cost and ...

Abstract: Oven curing of automotive parts is a complex industrial process involving multiple scales ranging from submillimeter thick layers to the size of the ovens, and long curing times. In this work, the process is simulated by ...

Abstract: Selective laser melting (SLM) process is a powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process that finds applications in aerospace and medical industries for its ability to produce complex geometry parts. As the raw material ...
