Many manufacturing organizations are unable to achieve acceptable quality performance because they do not have total control over their processes and equipment. Strict inspection cannot guarantee a stable supply of quality ...

Composites are two or more dissimilar materials, such as fibre and resin, working together to create a product with exceptional properties not present in the original materials. There are various technologies used in the ...

Wind energy has often been touted as one of the most reliable sources of renewable energy that should be used for people. Today wind energy produces less than one percent of total energy used worldwide mainly by propeller ...

The optimization of machining parameters for machine tools using the criterion of maximum productivity rate is complex and, in many cases, an unresolved issue. The intensification of machining processes leads to changes ...

Automated production lines of a parallel-serial structure are most productive in the manufacturing area. Designers of automated lines segment into sections with several stations place buffers between the series of sections ...

To ensure the structural integrity of composite materials, honeycomb sandwich panels must be inspected for defects with through-transmission ultrasonic testing. This study focused on the root causes analysis of disbonds ...

Of late, much has been discussed on virtual manufacturing. Essentially, virtual manufacturing comprises of the development of prototypes using computer simulation. In this paper, it is proposed that Statistical Design ...

Attitude control system is designed to change the attitude of a satellite, able to meet pointing requirement, eliminating external disturbances, a low-cost controller as well as a high reliability control system which can ...
