Abstract: This paper presents a DFM cost comparison of injection molding and stamping, the processes most commonly used in the production of consumer oriented special purpose components. The general ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel approach to determine reliable estimates of the moments of the steady-state resonant response of a randomly mistuned bladed disk is presented, and the use of these ...

Abstract: The upper and lower bounds on the load-carrying capacities of simply supported rectangular plates with uniformly distributed loads are obtained. The usefulness of Tresca’s yield condition in a ...

Abstract: Several new production cost-tolerance models and a hybrid-model tolerance optimization formulation for tolerance synthesis are presented. These new models are introduced based upon the empirical ...

Abstract: Tension tests were conducted on an aluminum alloy 2017-T4 under hydrostatic pressures up to 50,000 psi. Effects of hydrostatic compression on the plastic stress-strain relations, the radius of ...

Abstract: Many engineering optimization problems are multi-objective, constrained and have uncertainty in their inputs. For such problems it is desirable to obtain solutions that are multi-objectively optimum ...

Abstract: The MICROTOX bioassay, a toxicity test involving bioluminescent microorganisms, was conducted on aqueous leachates derived from a construction material made using coal fly ash as the key siliceous ingredient. The material ...

Abstract: Environmental consequences and potential liabilities of autoclaved cellular concrete (ACC) use were assessed by aqueous leaching of crushed samples for metals and organic solvent extractions of solid ACC for polycyclic ...
