Abstract: A theoretical simulation study was performed to study how surface roughness of the workpiece and datum can affect the locating precision of multiple station manufacturing processes using a ...

Abstract: For any undercut region of a plastic molded part, a side core has to be designed to form the complex geometry while avoiding the interference between the injection mold and the plastic molded ...

Abstract: A kinked interfacial crack under out-of-plane shear is analyzed where a straight interfacial crack is kinked into material 1 out of the interface. Employing the Wiener- Hopf technique, the ...

Abstract: In this research, the achievable precision level using mechanical datums for manufacturing has been studied. Specifically, the effect of how a datum is secured in a mechanical alignment system ...

Abstract: An intelligent system has been used for injection molding. Five molded part defects, two mold parameters and the part weight are used as system inputs which are described by fuzzy terms. ...

Abstract: Mechanical means of positioning are frequently used in mechanical assembly processes. However, very little attention has been paid to the proper design and selection of mechanical alignment systems ...
