Abstract:
SUMMARYThe introduction of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, Cell Technology, and Automated Machining Techniques with the related reduction in manning levels has resulted in the development of tooling systems, tool management systems, and, independent tool magazines to service TURNING MACHINES where a high number of tools are required to cover one shift or unmanned operation.Actual cutting time (production time) represents a value between 5% and 20% of average machine utilisation time, and developments in cutting materials and geometries have largely exhausted rationalisation possibilities in this area.

Abstract:
Solid modellers are now well established for computer aided design of mechanical parts. Machining applications, however, remain limited to geometric tool path planning. The physical aspects of the process are largely ignored. Success in actual machining, however, depends on consideration of cutting forces, torques, part and tool deflection, chatter, tool breakage and wear. This paper reports research progress towards a comprehensive simulation of the physical machining process of thin flexible parts. The system is based on extensions to a commercially available solid modeller. Cutting tool location data (CL-DATA) files along with an initial solid model of the workpiece are inputs. Each tool motion is segmented into short steps along the path and angular increments of spindle rotation. At each simulation step, immersion of the cutting tool teeth with the part is calculated. This information is then used by a machining process model to calculate cutting forces and tool/workpiece deflection. Up to five-axis motion is supported using a sweep representation of the tool swept volume. Flexible tools are modelled as cantilevers; flexible parts are created as solid models, are meshed and are dynamically solved using finite element analysis. The mesh is updated as material is machined away from the part.

Abstract:
The thesis presents an approach to adaptive decision making strategies to reduce bottlenecks in a drilling operation and to extend tool life. It is an attempt to portray the real drilling system in a typical Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) layout. The system designed serves as back end intelligence to drilling machines (INTELLIDRILL) in a Flexible Manufacturing System for making dynamic and real time decisions. INTELLIDRILL uses mathematical and adaptive tool reliability models to simulate the machining conditions and tool availability for an operation based on history of tool failures. The results are used to compute the machining parameters and the tools required for an operation. INTELLIDRILL can devise strategies for different tool materials to operate on batches of different materials. INTELLIDRILL decisions could lead to significant savings in tooling costs and reduction in flow line bottlenecks.

Abstract:
In this study, we address job sequencing and tool switching problem arising in Flexible Manufacturing Systems. We consider a single machine with limited tool slots on its tool magazine. The available tool slots cannot accommodate all the tools required by all jobs, therefore tool switches between jobs are required. A single tool transporter with limited capacity is used in transporting the tools from the storage area to the machine. Our aim is to minimize the number of tool transporter movements. We provide two mixed integer linear programming formulations of the problem, one of which is based on the traveling salesman problem. We develop a Branch-and-Bound algorithm powered with various lower and upper bounding techniques for optimal results. In order to obtain good solutions in reasonable times, we propose Beam Search algorithms. Our computational results reveal the satisfactory performance of the B&
B algorithm for moderate sized problems. Moreover, Beam Search techniques perform well for large-sized problems.

Abstract:
An overall framework to provide a complete tool management solution to an existing or specified manufacturing system is constructed, and prototype software provided, for a hierarchy of levels of tool flow automation. The work is targeted at the design and operation of tooling systems for prismatic parts flexible machining systems ranging from stand-alone unmanned machining stations to highly automated multi-machine multi-cell configurations. The research work moves from identification and category definition of a tool flow network appropriate for the manufacturing requirements, through the careful selection and definition of operating rules and strategies to the evaluation of the options available for tool issue and assignment. Two main computer aids (design facilities) to provide support in a systems thinking approach to tool flow management have been developed and tested with the aid of case studies. The essential role of these design facilities is the timely scheduling of tools to satisfy a short to medium term manufacturing task, and to examine the cost and number of captive tools under selected rules and strategies.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The globalisation is increasing the complexity of product development in terms of product variants and the range of technologies implemented. It emphasises the requirement for developing various design information support systems for the world market. However, small and medium enterprises that employ a wide range of design procedures may not be able to afford customised information support systems, with the result that there is a need for flexible, i.e. easily adaptable, design support tools. Four case studies were carried out to investigate the requirements for an information support system aimed at the design process and design documents. They indicated that a design information support system aimed at supporting design teams in the pre-detail mechanical design phases should be able to adapt various design methods and handle design information in a flexible way. Flexible here means being applicable over a wide range of contexts and extendable without affecting data already captured. Ontology based approaches are widely applied where diverse information has to be handled. The development of the Internet today also makes a distributed design approach more and more popular for mechanical design. An internet-based design support system called DiDeas II (Distributed Design assistant) was developed here with an ontologybased approach implemented to provide distributed and flexible assistance during concept generation in small companies. The DiDeas II has separate server side and client side programs, which communicate through a TCP/IP connection. DiDeas II allows design teams to manage their design information according to various design methods, to decrease time-delays and to improve communication between team members. These benefits were confirmed in two case studies carried out to evaluate DiDeas II. Keywords: Distributed design; ontology; concept design, web-based system.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Globalisering verhoog die kompleksiteit van produkontwikkeling, in terme van produk variante en die bereik van tegnologieë wat geïmplementeer word. Dit beklemtoon die behoefte om verskeie ontwerp-inligting-ondersteuningstelsels vir die wêreldmark te ontwikkel. Klein en medium ondernemings wat 'n wye spektrum ontwerpsprosedures gebruik, kan egter nie doelgemaakte inligting-ondersteuningstelsels bekostig nie, met die gevolg dat daar 'n behoefte vir maklik-aanpasbare ontwerp ondersteuningstelsels is. Vier gevallestudies is uitgevoer om die vereistes vir 'n inligting-ondersteuningstelsel gemik op die ontwerpproses en ontwerp dokumente, te ondersoek. Dit het aangetoon dat 'n ontwerp-inligting-ondersteuningstelsel, wat ontwerpspanne in die voor-detail meganiese ontwerp fases moet ondersteun, by verskeie ontwerpmetodes moet kan aanpas en ontwerpsinligting op 'n aanpasbare manier kan hanteer. Aanpasbaarheid in hierdie konteks beteken toepaslik oor 'n wye spektrum kontekste en uitbreibaar sonder om data wat alreeds ingevoer is, te beïnvloed. Ontologie-gebaseerde benaderings word wyd toegepas waar diverse inligting hanteer moet word. Die ontwikkeling van die Internet maak 'n verspreide-ontwerpbenadering meer en meer gewild vir meganiese ontwerp. 'n Internet-gebaseerde ontwerpondersteuningstelstel genaamd DiDeas II (Distributed Design assistant) is hier ontwikkel met 'n ontologie-gebaseerde benadering wat daarop gemik is om verspreide, aanpasbare hulp te verleen aan klein maatskappye gedurende konsep- ontwikkeling. Die DiDeas II stelsel het afsonderlike bediener en kliënt programme wat deur 'n TCP/IP verbinding kommunikeer. DiDeas II laat ontwerpspanne toe om hulle ontwerp inligting volgens verskeie ontwerpmetodes te bestuur, tydvertragings te verminder en om kommunikasie tussen spanlede te verbeter. Hierdie voordele is bevestig in twee gevallestudies wat uitgevoer is om DiDeas II te evalueer. Sleutelwoorde: Verspreide ontwerp; ontologie; konsepontwerp; web-gebaseerde stelsel.

Abstract:
The final shape of mechanical parts is mainly determined through turning, boring, drilling and milling operations. The prediction of the cutting forces, torque, and power of the machining process, and surface errors and vibration marks left on the parts is required to plan the machining operations and achieve shorter production cycle times while avoiding damage on the part, tool and machine. Past research has focused on developing dedicated mathematical models for each machining operation and tool type. However, the tool geometry and configuration of the machining set-up varies widely depending on the part geometry and application. This thesis presents a generalized mathematical model of machining operations carried out using geometrically defined cutting edges. The mechanics of cutting between the tool edge and the work material are modelled to predict the friction and normal forces on the rake face of a single cutting edge. The combined static and dynamic chip thickness is modelled as a function of tool geometry, the kinematics of machining operation and the relative regenerative vibrations between the tool and workpiece. The cutting forces are transformed to process coordinates by considering the orientation of cutting edge and the kinematics of the machining operation, and are applied on the structural dynamics of the machine tool and workpiece by distribution along the cutting tool–workpiece contact zone. The cutting forces, vibrations, chatter stability and surface errors are simultaneously predicted in a semi-discrete time domain. The geometry and force transformation models are unified in a parametric, mathematical model which covers all cutting operations. The application of the proposed model is demonstrated on turning, drilling and milling operations; multifunctional tools that combine drilling-boring and chamfering in one operation; and two parallel face-milling cutters machining a plate from both sides. The proposed mathematical models are experimentally validated by comparing the measured forces, surface errors, vibrations and chatter stability charts against simulations. The thesis shows the first unified, generalized mathematical modelling of metal cutting operations in the literature. The proposed model is expected to widen the application of science-based machining process simulation, planning and optimization methods in the virtual production of parts.

Abstract:
This paper aims at addressing how to design a flexible software for RBF-based numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). In the process, object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) approach combined with feature modeling, is adopted to construct object models of PDE solvers. This project was mplemented in Fortran 90, emulating object oriented constructs by encapsulating particular data structures and subroutines in modules to represent classes. The separation of mathematical domains and numerical domains as well as the introduction of the workflow manager and operations gives a significant flexibility and extendability for the software. For illustration, a solver for Dam seepage problem is constructed with the new design, compared with the one by the pre-existing reference code.

Abstract Robot type machine tools with parallel link mechanism are characterized by the performance to change tool posture and machine wider range than conventional machine tools. It is realized by simultaneous multi-axis control of parallel link mechanism. However, there are some problems, it is difficult to identify and adjust alignment error. In addition, the machining performance is unidentified due to the rigidity is different from conventional machine tools. In this research, a geometric model is described and the forward kinematics model is derived based on the geometric model. Then, the machining tests were carried out to evaluate the machining accuracy by measured machined surface and the simulated motion of tool cutting edge based on proposed forward kinematics model.

Abstract:
Abstract Achieving high performance of machining production systems requires the use of multi-axis machine tools. In order to maximize the performance of multi-axis machine tools, micro process planning for creating machining data is important. Many researches on micro process planning mainly focused on 3-axis machining. As promising approaches among them, a micro process planning system was proposed that reuses actual machining cases and analyzes case data to derive the necessary rules. However, it is not always effective for multi-axis machining, because enough case data are not collected for micro process planning of a specific multi-axis machine tool. In this study, a digital twin of multi-axis machine tool in cyberspace is proposed to collect real and virtual machining case data for micro process planning.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Emerging deep learning (DL) techniques, which have demonstrated the superior capability to learn complex patterns and interrelations from multivariate data, provide promising solutions to characterize and model complex system that cannot be accurately described by conventional machine learning techniques. Hence, DL techniques have been extensively studied for condition monitoring, diagnosis, and remaining life prediction of manufacturing machine and components. One challenge associated with DL techniques is that the accuracy and reliability of DL models would vary significantly with the data amount, variety, and machine operating scenarios that are used to train the models. If the trained model is applied beyond the training scenarios, an internal covariate shift problem would occur and thereby damage the model reliability. To address this challenge, the DL models should not only extract hierarchical features from the input data, but also study the similarities and differences among data collected from different scenarios and include the discovered similarities in the feature extraction mechanism to generalize models to a broad application. This paper presents a trial to develop a transferable convolutional neural network (CNN) for in-situ diagnosis tool wear severity under different operating conditions.

Abstract This study considers to efficiently collect “highly value-added” data for in-process anomaly detection of cutting tools in machining processes, and focuses on collection of time-series data of temperature nearby the tool cutting-edge by using a wireless tool holder system composed of an internal temperature measuring device and a wireless transmitter, which is connected with a thermocouple built-in the cutting tool. We then propose a method to detect a change of tool performance based on a recurrent neural network (RNN) with a long short-term memory (LSTM) structure. The capability of the proposed RNN system with LSTM is demonstrated through computational experiments, and demonstrate the time-series data of temperature nearby cutting tool tip is applicable for change detection of cutting tools status.

In 2020 International Symposium on Flexible Automation. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/isfa2020-9605.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Tool wear is one of the critical issues which deteriorate machining accuracy in ultraprecision machining. However, tool setting errors caused by the change of worn tool during a machining operation should be carefully compensated by identifying the gaps between the ideal tool center point and the actual tool center point, which inevitably lead to low machining efficiency. Because of the long consumption time of actual tool center point detection, this study aims at achieving on-machine shaping of a diamond tool which is commonly used in ultraprecision machining. In the previous study, shaping conditions without tool chipping are investigated by using various shaping materials. Then, in order to create a flank face that is necessary to realize preferable cutting, a pin gauge made of cemented carbide is adopted as the shaper. From the conducted experiments, it is found that the proposed on-machine shaping can create a specific cutting edge and a flank face on an ultraprecision machine tool.

Abstract Machining data (NC program) is generated by a CAM system, which generates the tool path from the target shape as a plane approximation surface instead of a free-form surface. Owing to this plane approximation, machining accuracy is reduced. In this paper, we propose a method to process the shape with high accuracy by defining the areas where accuracy is not required as a plane approximation surface and defining the part where accuracy is required as free-form surfaces.

Abstract:
Worldwide interest in using recycled materials in flexible pavements as an alternative to virgin materials has increased significantly over the past few decades. Therefore, recycling has been utilized in pavement maintenance and rehabilitation activities. Three types of in-place recycling technologies have been introduced since the late 70s: hot in-place recycling, cold in-place recycling, and full-depth reclamation. The main objectives of this project are to develop a framework and a life-cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to evaluate maintenance and rehabilitation treatments, specifically in-place recycling and conventional paving methods, and develop a LCA tool utilizing Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) to help local and state highway agencies evaluate environmental benefits and tradeoffs of in-place recycling techniques as compared to conventional rehabilitation methods at each life-cycle stage from the material extraction to the end of life. The ultimate outcome of this study is the development of a framework and a user-friendly LCA tool that assesses the environmental impact of a wide range of pavement treatments, including in-place recycling, conventional methods, and surface treatments. The developed tool provides pavement industry practitioners, consultants, and agencies the opportunity to complement their projects’ economic and social assessment with the environmental impacts quantification. In addition, the tool presents the main factors that impact produced emissions and energy consumed at every stage of the pavement life cycle due to treatments. The tool provides detailed information such as fuel usage analysis of in-place recycling based on field data.

Abstract:
Flooding is a major source of concern for Texas’ coastal communities. It affects the quality of infrastructure, the lives of citizens, and the ecological systems upon which coastal communities in Texas rely. To plan for and mitigate the impacts of flooding, Texas coastal communities may implement land use tools such as zoning, drainage utility systems, eminent domain, exactions, and easements. Additionally, these communities can benefit from understanding how flooding affects water quality and the tools available to restore water bodies to healthy water quality levels. Finally, implementing additional programs for education and ecotourism will help citizens develop knowledge of the impacts of flooding and ways to plan and mitigate for coastal flooding. Land use tools can help communities plan for and mitigate flooding. Section III addresses zoning, a land use tool that most municipalities already utilize to organize development. Zoning can help mitigate flooding, drainage, and water quality issues, which, Texas coastal communities continually battle. Section IV discusses municipal drainage utility systems, which are a mechanism available to municipalities to generate dedicated funds that can help offset costs associated with providing stormwater management. Section V addresses land use and revenue-building tools such as easements, eminent domain, and exactions, which are vital for maintaining existing and new developments in Texas coastal communities. Additionally, Section VI addresses conservation easements, which are a flexible tool that can enhance community resilience through increasing purchase power, establishing protected legal rights, and minimizing hazardous flood impacts. Maintaining good water quality is important for sustaining the diverse ecosystems located within and around Texas coastal communities. Water quality is regulated at the federal level through the Clean Water Act. As discussed in Section VII, the state of Texas is authorized to implement and enforce these regulations by implementing point source and nonpoint source pollutants programs, issuing permits, implementing stormwater discharge programs, collecting water quality data, and setting water quality standards. The state of Texas also assists local communities with implementing restorative programs, such as Watershed Protection Programs, to help local stakeholders restore impaired water bodies. Section VIII addresses ecotourism and how these distinct economic initiatives can help highlight the importance of ecosystem services to local communities. Section VIX discusses the role of education in improving awareness within the community and among visitors, and how making conscious decisions can allow coastal communities to protect their ecosystem and protect against flooding.
