The paper presents the work of analysis of Automated G-clip Paperclip machine of using Solidworks Simulation and a comparison between results of each analysis in cutting process using design of experiment (DOE) and followed by design verification of simulating the cutting process after design changes. It emphasizes on the analysis of process and additional substation process to overcomes current machining problem. The current problem is occurred at the cutting station, which lead to poor quality product. There is two-design stage, which is preliminary of design of experiments conducted in order to fulfill the design validity and design verification. Application of longitudinal cyclic transfer system in feeding with pre-straightener substation is implied for comprehensive feeding of the wire with 1.3 mm diameter in 2 second. Forming dies with stepper motor controller give the precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good stepper motors have an accuracy between 3 5% of a step and this error is non-cumulative from one step to the next. By incorporating the new station in simulation procedure for this machine, it shows that the product quality is improved.

Construction practitioners recognise that rework is undesirable due to the detrimental effects. While rework literature has examined rework causation factors in construction projects, the problem continues to plague the industry resulting in poor delivery performance. To better understand this phenomenon and given the scarcity of Malaysian-based rework study, a questionnaire survey involving 130 Malaysian construction practitioners (consultants, contractors and clients) were undertaken to obtain feedback about nature, implications, causes and solutions for rework. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical techniques to prioritise the variables studied. From the analyses, rework is a causal factor for delays and cost overruns, higher wastage and productivity inhibitor. The findings revealed the leading causes of rework are poor quality management, improper planning, lack of communication, design changes and poor subcontractor management. Some practical rework minimisation approaches are also suggested to better manage and prevent rework towards enhanced project performance.

Quality, reliability, and safety of products are the most important requirement of manufacturer in order to maintain their product competitiveness in market. Customers needs related to quality product in the market therefore drive the design and process activities to a high quantity of analysis. One possibility to reduce the number of activities is to integrate FMEA (i-FMEA) to merge Design FMEA (DFMEA) and Process (PFMEA) through DAIREC methodology. In this paper, a regression analysis between critical dimensional decided during design stage and key process factor in current process control is analyzed using MINITAB software. A judgment on a new ranking has been decided based on process performance indices (Ppk) for improvement lot.

Collective Thomson Scattering

Abstract The ITER Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) system will be the main diagnostic responsible for measuring the velocity distribution function of fusion-born alpha particles in the plasma. As the CTS diagnostic is integrated in the equatorial port plug 12 (drawer 3), with direct apertures to the port interspace where maintenance hands-on operation will be carried out, it is essential to assess the shutdown dose rates (SDDR) in these maintenance areas. In this work, the D1S-UNED3.1.4 Monte-Carlo transport code, based on the implementation of the direct-one-step methodology in MCNP5 v1.60, was used to estimate the dose rate level 12 days (106 s) after shutdown in the port interspace. The results show that the CTS system does not contribute significantly to the SDDR in the area where hands-on maintenance is foreseen with contribution to dose rates less than 1 µSv/h. This is consistent with previous estimates, although with the most recent model of the CTS design there is a slight increase of the SDDR values. This deviation can be attributed to design changes and improved shielding modelling and/or most importantly, to statistical fluctuations of the D1S simulations. From a neutronics point of view, the increase in the SDDR falls within the range of the statistical fluctuations, and the design is still compliant with the radiation safety ALARA principle aiming at minimizing radiation doses, and there is no requirement for further design optimizations.

The Impact

A case study is made on the tack driving assembly of a boot and shoe lasting machine, and relates to the impact noise occurring during part of the machine cycle. Much of the noise is radiated due to vibrations at several frequencies of the tack driver lifting lever, which is excited by the direct application of impacts during the tack driving process. An experimental approach in applying noise reduction principles to various components of the assembly has been preferred to a more complex theoretical treatment, since the identification of the mechanism of impact noise generation and its subsequent abatement is directly relevant to most machine designers faced with the possibility of impact noise problems in other types of machinery. Small design changes, based on the knowledge gained from the experimental investigations, have resulted in noise reductions from 10 to 14 dB being achieved.

Stepper motors are wildly used in the many fields, such as CNC machine, motion robot, aeronautics and astronautics. To realize online precise measurement, error analysis and verification of control strategy, it is necessary to sample and analyze the driving signals of motors, and simulate mechanical motion in a computer. So a test, analysis and simulation system of stepper controllers was designed. Driving signals of stepper motors are synchronously sampled and analyzed by the unit of acquisition and analysis. A connecting Motherboard was used to link the various parts and finish the data transmission. The working states of motor divers under load were simulated by connecting motor driver to the simulation board of motor load. In the industrial computer, the control effects of multi-axis control system were displayed by 3D simulation. Test results show that the system is stable and reliable, and has a certain application value.

Associated with manufacturing and assembly processes, inevitable geometric deviations have a decisive influence on the function and quality of products. Therefore, their consideration and management are important tasks in product development. Moreover, to meet the demand for short development times, the front-loading of design processes is indispensable. This requires early tolerance analyses evaluating the effect of deviations in a design stage, where the product’s geometry has not yet been finally defined. Since such an early tolerance consideration allows quick and economic design changes seeking for robust designs, it is advisable that the design engineer, who is entirely familiar with the design, should take this step. For this purpose, this paper presents an easy-to-use CAD-based tolerance analysis method for skeleton models. The relevant part deviations are represented by varying geometric dimensions with externally driven family tables. The approach comprises the strength of vector-based methods but does not require an expensive set-up of tolerance analysis models. Particularly, the novelty of this method lies in the CAD-internal sampling-based tolerance analysis of simple geometries without the use of expensive CAT software. This enables designers to evaluate the effect of tolerances already at the preliminary design stage. Using a case study, the presented approach is compared with the conventional vector-based tolerance analysis.

Abstract The Paper describes a metal and composite recurrent cost model of a large civil aircraft wing structure for a multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimisation (MDO) environment. The work was part of a recent European MDO project (BE95-2056) which investigated methods for the integration of structures, aerodynamics, dynamics and manufacturing cost at the preliminary design stage. The paper discusses the cost modelling approach, which is based on parametric and process cost model methods, and the integration of the cost models into an MDO process. Results for the cost models are shown. A framework has been successfully developed which allows the incorporation of manufacturing cost models into an MDO environment. It allows a designer to evaluate cost changes with respect to specific design changes such as rib pitch, stringer pitch, wing area and wing sweep.

AbstractIn designing a complex circuit, designers make a large number of circuit simulations, design changes and optimizations and can predict the circuit's performance reasonably accurately before committing it to silicon. It would be unthinkable to bypass detailed circuit simulation and optimization and rely on simple design rules and the testing of finished IC's to discover errors or to find out if the performance of the circuit meet specifications. Yet, this is basically the way IC reliability is treated today. A logical alternative is to predict circuit reliability at the circuit design stage through reliability simulation.Reliability simulator BERT is used to illustrate the physical models and approaches used to simulate the hot electron effect, oxide time-dependent breakdown, electromigration, bipolar transistor gain degradation, and radiation effects. The goal is to make circuit reliability simulation a part of the IC design process.

An experimental and analytical study is made of the noise emission from the drawroll assembly of a textile draw-twisting machine. As an alternative to resorting to acoustic absorption techniques or the use of expensive high damping materials, investigations are made into the basic method of noise generation in the assembly. This leads to the incorporation of small design changes and the significantly lower noise emission thereby achieved is compared with the original emission. Aimed at the machine designer, the presentation is made in a straightforward, non-mathematical fashion.

Research Questions

The sample size of a study is a key design and planning consideration. However, sample size and power calculations are often either poorly reported or not reported at all, which suggests they may not form a routine part of study planning. Inadequate understanding of sample size and statistical power can result in poor quality studies. Journals increasingly require a justification of sample size, for example through the use of reporting checklists. However, for meaningful improvements in research quality to be made, researchers need to consider sample size and power at the design stage of a study, rather than at the publication stage. Here we briefly illustrate sample size and statistical power in the context of different research questions and how they should be viewed as a critical design consideration.
