Abstract: A dynamic model of injection molding developed from physical considerations is used to select PID gains for pressure control during the packing phase of thermo-plastic injection molding. The ...

Abstract: A solution to the problem of a plane-strain fluid-driven crack propagation in elastic permeable rock with resistance to fracture is presented. The fracture is driven by injection of an incompressible Newtonian fluid at a ...

Abstract: Autocorrelation in 100 percent measurement data results in false alarms when the traditional control charts, such as X and R charts, are applied in process monitoring. A popular approach proposed ...

Abstract: A new approach to fixture fault diagnosis, designated component analysis (DCA), is proposed for automotive body assembly systems using multivariate statistical analysis. Instead of estimating the ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional mathematical model and numerical techniques were developed for simulating a moving gas metal arc welding process. The model is used to calculate the transient distributions ...

Abstract: This article presents a three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model for the plasma arc in gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). The velocity, pressure, temperature, electric potential, current density, ...

Abstract: The primary objective of this study is to establish the non-normal relationship between Morison-type random wave loading and structural response via repeated Monte Carlo simulations. A standardized ...

Abstract: Fixture design is an important consideration in all manufacturing operations. Central to this design is selecting and positioning the locating points. While substantial literature exists in this ...

Abstract: The clamping pressure used in assembling a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack can have significant effects on the overall cell performance. The pressure causes stack deformation, ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a generalized method to predict forming limits of sheet metals. The vertex theory, which was developed by Stören and Rice (1975) and recently simplified ...
