Abstract This paper presents a new approach to the problem of fixture layout design for 3D workpieces. The approach is based on a concept of optimum experiment design, and the problem is treated as an optimal pursuit to select optimal locators from an initial collection of a large number of fixel locations on the surfaces of the given workpiece and to achieve form-closure for the part. An interchange algorithm is described, in which the fixture locators are generated sequentially first and are further improved. The algorithm uses the D-optimality criterion to minimize the workpiece positioning error. An example of a 3D workpiece is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper considers the H∞ control problem for a class of singular Markovian jump systems (SMJSs), where the jumping signal is not always available. The main contribution of this paper introduces a new approach to a mode-independent (MI) H∞ controller by exploiting the nonfragile method. Based on the given method, a unified control approach establishing a direct connection between mode-dependent (MD) and mode-independent controllers is presented, where both existence conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, another three cases of transition probability rate matrix (TRPM) with elementwise bounded uncertainties, being partially unknown and to be designed are analyzed, respectively. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Abstract This paper describes a new approach to an automated layout design system for industrial plant piping. The routing system, which is the main part of this layout system, is composed of three steps, according to the practical layout design process. By dividing the layout design into the optimal routing phase (Step 1, Step 2) and the arrangement phase (Step 3), it is possible to design without depending on the routing order, and with small computer memory storage capacities. The optimal route is obtained by using the routing algorithm and heuristic search, based on expert knowledge. The arrangements are made by applying the enumeration method, taking the strong and weak constraints into account.

Real World Problems

Abstract Problems in the field of engineering design represent an important class of real world problems that typically require a fuzzy and imprecise representation. This article presents and discusses a new approach to model this type of problem, by incorporating linguistic descriptions together with a variety of user-defined trade-off strategies. An interactive computer application is introduced, using stochastic optimization to solve the design task by producing a specially desired output under the given environmental conditions which are partly caused by the personal preferences of the engineer and by the expectations of the customer. It utilizes a randomized evolutionary technique, made suitable for the class of problems at hand, to generate and to optimize design solutions that are later identified by a clustering algorithm. Moreover test problems that were solved by the application are considered. In all cases the good solutions were obtained by evaluating only an extremely small fraction of all possible designs.

A Priority

Abstract The need for yield estimation strategies in the design stage is a priority recognized by industry. Yield estimates can be employed to assess the manufacturability of a design, and allow for modification to produce a robust design. Therefore, low yield of products can be avoided and costs for manufacturing can be reduced. This paper presents an accurate and time-efficient yield estimation approach for use with simulation models. We use a metamodel-based method, which is time-efficient compared to crude Monte Carlo yield estimation using the original simulation code. The approach employs a boundary-focused experiment design, which overcomes the inaccuracy of yield estimates that can occur when using a metamodel method. The results of two examples demonstrate the effectiveness of this new approach.

In this paper, we establish a simultaneous decomposition for three quaternion tensors via Einstein product. This simultaneous decomposition transforms the given three quaternion tensors into nice forms which have only 1 and 0. We conclude with an application in the color video signal processing. This new approach only need to store four keys to realize the simultaneous encryption and decryption of three videos.

The Given

In this paper, a new analytical solution to the undamped Helmholtz oscillator equation in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic function is reported. The solution is given for any arbitrary initial conditions. A comparison between our new solution and the numerical approximate solution using the Range Kutta approach is performed. We think that the methodology employed here may be useful in the study of several nonlinear problems described by a differential equation of the form z ″ = F z in the sense that z = z t . In this context, our solutions are applied to some physical applications such as the signal that can propagate in the LC series circuits. Also, these solutions were used to describe and investigate some oscillations in plasma physics such as oscillations in electronegative plasma with Maxwellian electrons and negative ions.
