Abstract: This paper proposes and develops a kinematics-based, systematic approach to determine the region of a plate to be rolled, in order to fabricate smoothly curved plates. The approach includes a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new sensor placement methodology for effective fault diagnosis in an N-2-1 locating scheme used in compliant sheet metal assembly processes. The proposed approach is based ...

Abstract: The mechanics of die-less asymmetric rolling has been investigated in depth, for the first time, using a two-dimensional analytical model and a three-dimensional finite element model. In doing ...

Abstract: A general and efficient methodology has been developed to analyze dimensional variations of a welded assembly, taking into account of weld distortion. Weld distortion is generally probabilistic ...
