Abstract: There are strong correlations between material assignment, shape, and functionality of a part in an overall product/assembly. However, these strong correlations are rarely exploited for automated material assignment. We ...

Abstract: The paper deals with the evaluation of acceleration of redundant and nonredundant parallel manipulators. The dynamic model of three degreesoffreedom (3DOF) parallel manipulator is derived by using the virtual work principle. ...

Abstract: Resource allocation in the presence of constraints is an important activity in many systems engineering problems such as surveillance, infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring, and cooperative task performance. ...

Abstract: Functionally graded materials (FGM) have recently attracted a lot of research attention in the wake of the recent prominence of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. The continuously varying spatial composition profile ...

Abstract: In many system-engineering problems, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, and cooperative task performance, it is critical to allocate limited resources within a restricted area optimally. Static coverage problem ...
