Aided Design

Computer-aided design of assembly processes (Computer aided assembly planning, CAAP) of complex products is an important and urgent problem of state-of-the-art information technologies. Intensive research on CAAP has been underway since the 1980s. Meanwhile, specialized design systems were created to provide synthesis of assembly plans and product decompositions into assembly units. Such systems as ASPE, RAPID, XAP / 1, FLAPS, Archimedes, PRELEIDES, HAP, etc. can be given, as an example. These experimental developments did not get widespread use in industry, since they are based on the models of products with limited adequacy and require an expert’s active involvement in preparing initial information. The design tools for the state-of-the-art full-featured CAD/CAM systems (Siemens NX, Dassault CATIA and PTC Creo Elements / Pro), which are designed to provide CAAP, mainly take into account the geometric constraints that the design imposes on design solutions. These systems often synthesize technologically incorrect assembly sequences in which known technological heuristics are violated, for example orderliness in accuracy, consistency with the system of dimension chains, etc.An AssemBL software application package has been developed for a structured analysis of products and a synthesis of assembly plans and decompositions. The AssemBL uses a hyper-graph model of a product that correctly describes coherent and sequential assembly operations and processes. In terms of the hyper-graph model, an assembly operation is described as shrinkage of edge, an assembly plan is a sequence of shrinkages that converts a hyper-graph into the point, and a decomposition of product into assembly units is a hyper-graph partition into sub-graphs.The AssemBL solves the problem of minimizing the number of direct checks for geometric solvability when assembling complex products. This task is posed as a plus-sum two-person game of bicoloured brushing of an ordered set. In the paradigm of this model, the brushing operation is to check a certain structured fragment for solvability by collision detection methods. A rational brushing strategy minimizes the number of such checks.The package is integrated into the Siemens NX 10.0 computer-aided design system. This solution allowed us to combine specialized AssemBL tools with a developed toolkit of one of the most powerful and popular integrated CAD/CAM /CAE systems.

Στη διατριβή αυτή διερευνάται και επιλύεται σειρά προβλημάτων μέσω της ανάπτυξης εξελιγμένων προσομοιωμάτων ευθύγραμμης και καμπύλης δοκού. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αντιμετωπίζονται τα προβλήματα ανομοιόμορφης στρέψης, γενικευμένης στρέβλωσης λόγω διάτμησης και στρέψης (μέσω των οποίων μελετάται το φαινόμενο της διατμητικής υστέρησης), διαστρέβλωσης (παραμόρφωση των διατομών της δοκού στο επίπεδό τους) καθώς και το πρόβλημα της δυναμικής ανάλυσης ευθύγραμμων και καμπύλων δοκών. Η αντιμετώπιση των προβλημάτων αυτών βασίζεται στη γενικευμένη διατύπωση καινοτόμων θεωριών δοκού (Generalized Beam Theories - GBT), με τις οποίες το πεδίο μετατοπίσεων και οι συνιστώσες των τανυστών παραμόρφωσης και τάσης διατυπώνονται ως γραμμικοί συνδυασμοί γινομένων μονοδιάστατων και διδιάστατων συναρτήσεων.Η αναλυτική λύση των μονοδιάστατων και διδιάστατων προβλημάτων συνοριακών και αρχικών-συνοριακών τιμών που μορφώνονται εν γένει δεν είναι εφικτή. Ως εκ τούτου, τα προβλήματα αυτά επιλύονται αριθμητικά εφαρμόζοντας τη Μέθοδο Συνοριακών Στοιχείων (Boundary Element Method - BEM), τη Μέθοδο Αναλογικής Εξίσωσης (Analog Equation Method - AEM), η οποία αποτελεί εξέλιξη της BEM, καθώς και τη Μέθοδο Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων (Finite Element Method - FEM). Όσον αφορά στην επίλυση μονοδιάστατων προβλημάτων, οι αριθμητικές μέθοδοι που χρησιμοποιoύνται (AEM και FEM) συνδυάζονται με εργαλεία της Ισογεωμετρικής Ανάλυσης (Isogeometric Analysis - IGA) ώστε να επιτευχθεί μία προσέγγιση με χαμηλότερο υπολογιστικό κόστος καθώς και πιο διαδραστική μεταξύ ανάλυσης και γεωμετρίας που θα επιτυγχάνει πιο αξιόπιστα αποτελέσματα περιορίζοντας το σφάλμα που πηγάζει από την προσέγγιση της γεωμετρίας. Συγκεκριμένα, οι παραμετρικές καμπύλες B-splines και NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) που έχουν υιοθετήσει τα λογισμικά πακέτα μοντελοποίησης με υπολογιστή (Computer-Aided Design - CAD) εφαρμόζονται στην παρούσα διατριβή. Με βάση τις αναπτυχθείσες αναλυτικές και αριθμητικές διαδικασίες συντάσσονται καινοτόμα προγράμματα ηλεκτρονικού υπολογιστή για την ανάλυση τρισδιάστατων ευθύγραμμων και καμπυλόγραμμων ραβδωτών φορέων. Κάθε κύριο κεφάλαιο της διατριβής αποτελείται από την εισαγωγή, τη διατύπωση του προβλήματος, την αριθμητική επίλυση, αντιπροσωπευτικά αριθμητικά παραδείγματα και τα συμπεράσματα.

In the office, computers are central to a range of tasks. The architects’ days are mostly spent at screens: checking and responding to e-mail, finding “precedent” images that provide the inspiration for design, researching building materials and new technologies, and most centrally of all using one of a range of computer-aided design packages. Watching them at work, I observe screens flicking perpetually between these programs and tasks. Observing their movements, I find it clear that these architects are thoroughly digital humans, their capacities of thought and action indissoluble from digital technologies that saturate this working environment....

Abstract The process planning of a manufacturing method is the key to ensure the quality of the fabricated part. In Additive Manufacturing (AM), slicing is a crucial step in process planning to convert a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model to a machine-specific format. If the slicing results were incorrect, the manufacturing quality would have no way to be assured. Therefore, it is important to understand the performance of different slicing technologies for AM. Digital Light Processing (DLP) printing is an important AM process that has a good surface finish, high accuracy and fabrication speed, and is widely applied in many dental and engineering industries. However, while most other AM processes are toolpath-based, as a process that uses images as the fabrication tool, the DLP printing has its process planning understudied. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to study, compare and benchmark the slicing technologies for DLP printing. Three slicing technologies are compared: contour, voxelization, and ray-tracing. They are tested with some common defects in slicing, and their usage in computational resources is also reported. The summary and suggestion are given at the end.

There is increasing implementation of digital technologies in construction. However, the transformation effects encompassing digital technology implementation are yet to be fully comprehended within the context of construction. Therefore, this study was aimed to provide a holistic understanding of digital transformation in construction. The study drew on extant literature by studying 36 journal publications published between 2016 when digital transformation emerged in construction from the information systems field and 2020. This led to the development of an inductive framework using a grounded theory methodology (GTM) to highlight digital transformation in construction as a process where the implementation of digital technologies creates transformation effects that trigger strategic considerations for putting in place the enablers that facilitate transformation effects and for suppressing the barriers to it. Building on the framework, this study described and presented the strategic considerations for facilitating specific enablers and those for suppressing specific barriers as digital transformation guideline in construction. This study demonstrated how the implementation of digital technologies has increased the understanding of and provided the basis for digital transformation in construction.

The digital manufacture of complete dentures would greatly simplify the workflow; however, the metal-reinforced complete dentures production method has not been well established. This article describes a technique of fabricating metal-reinforced complete dentures in a milling machine using the geometry guide, a negative impression of the occlusal surface of the metal-reinforced complete denture designed using the computer-aided design software. The geometry guide supports and stabilizes the artificial teeth and metal framework in the correct position in the surrounding resin. Fabrication of metal-reinforced dental prosthesis using the digital technique is possible with this method.
