Predicting material properties of flow formed work-piece based on a finite deformation method
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Flow Forming Process is a manufacturing process to deform rotating axis symmetric work-piece with rotating rollers. It is difficult to predict the behaviour of work-piece during the process because the shear and compression ...
Classification of reconfiguration resources and lead time for reconfigurable manufacturing systems
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
Manufacturing technology can improve the turnover of a company if it enables fast market introduction for volume production. Reconfigurable equipment is developed to meet the growing demand for more agile production. Modular ...
Optimizing the morphing displacement of sandwiched nanotube buckypaper actuators via design of experiments methodology
(Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Flexible Automation & Intelligent Manufacturing, 2014)
The actuation properties of carbon nanotube buckypaper have been proved and demonstrated in many researchers' studies. Sandwiched buckypaper/porous film+ion liquid/buckypaper structure showed the lightweight and high ...
