Abstract: This paper describes how manufacturing planning can be used for generating manufacturability feedback for machined parts to be made on a 3-axis machining center. The approach presented in this ...

Abstract: A biological treatability study by activated algae process was performed with synthetic wastewater containing a high concentration of nitrogen. It was found that the wastewater could be processed at all nitrogen removal ...

Abstract: A laboratory study using the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor for treating high-strength wastewater containing tetrachloroethene (PCE) was carried out to study the effect of carbon source, recycle, and shock loading ...

Abstract: This paper is an attempt to provide an estimation of dynamic gear tooth loading due to coupled torsional-lateral vibrations in a geared rotor-hydrodynamic bearing system. The effects of mass ...

Abstract: This paper is an attempt to provide a dynamic analysis of a rigid rotor-gear pair-hydrodynamic bearing system with journal motions in the oil film space of the bearings. A mathematical model ...

Abstract: Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are very small devices that contain both mechanical and electrical elements with sizes in the order of microns. Design cycle time is an important consideration ...

Abstract: In 2007 we have computing power and infrastructure that are remarkable in terms of both speed and cost. A casual observer would expect the effects of this technological “free lunch” on Computer ...

Abstract: Increasingly, Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) processes are being considered for creating functional parts. In such applications, SFF can either be used for creating tooling (i.e., patterns for ...

Abstract: Contemporary process planners for sheet metal bending solve the process planning problem for individual parts. Quite often, many different parts can be produced on shared setups. However, plans ...
