Abstract:
Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the relationship between cycle-to-cycle task variations in mixed-model assembly lines and workers’ exposure to poor posture and insufficient recovery time and provide guidelines for mixed-model assembly line (MMAL) design. Background: In the US, 17.6 out of 100,000 manufacturing workers suffer musculoskeletal injuries while conducting tasks in assembly lines which may be paced (e.g. continuously moving) or self-paced (e.g. asynchronous indexing). MMALs produce multiple products in the same line. Pacing must be carefully considered to achieve productivity targets while providing workers sufficient time to complete the tasks and recover. The effect of pacing on worker fatigue and exertions is not well understood. In MMALs, the complexity of completing multiple work methods may increase exposure to these risk factors. These concerns also affect hospital kitchens. While kitchen workers don’t have standardized work cycles, the work tasks (e.g. get, move, put) resemble the cyclic nature of manufacturing plants. Studies have been conducted to describe the effect of cycle-to-cycle task variations on worker posture and recovery time in MMALs (Carrasquillo, Armstrong, and Hu 2011, 2016, 2017). Methods: Three studies were conducted: (1) field observation of continuous moving assembly line - hospital kitchen, continuous moving conveyor; (2) conveyor type, product mix/sequence laboratory experiment - simulated assembly task conducted under 9 conveyor and product mix/sequence configurations; (3) field observation of on demand, self-paced assembly line with varying demand - hospital kitchen where patients placed orders at any time. Workers were video recorded and worker posture and recovery time were assessed. Posture tracking was used in laboratory study (2). Results: The self-paced assembly lines (asynchronous indexing, and manual), provided workers control over their work pace. They reached within the reach envelop more frequently than in the paced, continuous moving conveyor (43% vs. 86% –99%). The workers on the self-paced assembly line had the greatest average recovery time (31.8%), the worker on the continuous moving conveyor had 9.5% and the subjects on the asynchronous indexing conveyor had 0.7% recovery time. Discussion and conclusions: In study (1) increases in variations increased the frequency of workers reaching outside the reach envelope and reduced recovery time. In Study (2), the self-paced, asynchronous indexing mixed-model assembly line was the most effective configuration in reducing the frequency of reaching unnecessarily to complete the job. However, subjects didn’t reduce the pace to recover; instead, they worked continuously. The workers’ pace in the Study (3) assembly line was constrained by the process time. In it, workers, chose to reach outside the reach envelop 14% of the time; less frequently than in Study (1). The process time provided time for recovery. It exceeded 10%, more than in any of the other assembly line configurations. These findings demonstrate that as work variations increase, so does the frequency of reaching while the recovery time is. Self-pacing reduced but did not eliminate awkward postures. Participants reached ahead and completed the assigned tasks before the work objects were within the reach envelope. Ensuring that a minimum work time is maintained for each product type is essential to providing workers with sufficient time for recovery.

Abstract:
Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) aims at optimally assigning the work elements required to assemble a product to an ordered sequence of workstations, while satisfying precedence constraints. Notwithstanding the advances and developments in ALB over the years, recent and thorough surveys on this field reveal that only a small percentage of companies employ ALB procedures to configure their assembly lines. This paradox may be attributed, to some extent, to the fact that ALB is addressed mostly under ideal conditions. Despite the time variability inherent in manufacturing tasks, there is a strong research trend towards designing and implementing algorithms that consider ALB on a deterministic basis and focus on the optimality of the proposed task assignments according to existing ALB performance measures. In this paper, the need to assess the performance of the proposed solutions of various algorithms in the literature is corroborated through simulation experiments on a benchmark ALB problem under more realistic conditions. A novel ALB index, namely the Effective Cycle Time, ECT, is proposed to assess the quality of alternative assembly line configurations in paced assembly lines operating under task times variations.

Abstract:
The thesis is concerning rotator assembly at Indexator. A need to increase production has been seen and it can be done by implementing an optimized assembly process. In addition to the assembly process a new design on workstations and new test equipment is needed.The study resulted into three assembly process proposals. The processes were balanced, layouts were produced and Plant simulation was utilized to produce simulation models. Each proposal were analyzed based on cost, performance, ease of implementation, flexibility and worker condition. This resulted in a stationary assembly process being most promising and a 3D simulation model was produced for visualization and better understanding. The stationary assembly process has a capacity for 90 rotators per day, while reducing the amount of workers by one.The layout of the workstations was done based on the assembly process layout and further developed to make the work cell lean and ergonomic. It resulted in three workstations to perform the assembly. The test bench was developed by creating target specifications, establish a test procedure and decide components for the test bench layout. The finished test bench can measure dynamic torque, count particles to ensure cleanliness and is able to run the test unattended.
Examensarbetet handlar om montering av rotatorer på Indexator. Målet är att ta fram en optimerad monteringsprocess som kan implementeras i Indexators fabrik utan svårigheter. Den nya monteringsprocessen kommer kräva en ny design på arbetsstationerna och nya testbänkar.Fyra koncept på monteringsprocessen togs fram, baserat på monteringens behov och målsättning. Efter utvärdering så modifierades de fyra koncepten till tre förslag på monteringsprocesser. Processerna balancerades, layouter utvecklades och simuleringsmodeller producerades för varje process. Varje förslag analyserades baserat på kostnad, prestanda, implementation,flexibilitet och arbetar-förhållande. Resultatet blev en stationär monteringsprocess och en 3Dsimulering gjordes för visualisering och förståelse. Den stationära monteringsprocessen har en kapacitet på 90 rotatorer per dag och reducerar behovet av montörer.Layouten för monteringsstationerna baseras på processens layout och har modifierats för ergonomiska aspekter. Inom monteringsstationerna så utvecklades layouten för att minimera antalet onödiga rörelser för montören. Testriggens design utvecklades genom att analysera de behov som fanns, skapa en kravspecifikation samt utvärdera och besluta om testprocedur, upplägg för testrigg och dess ingående komponenter. Testriggen uppfyller målsättningen som är att kunna mäta dynamiskt vridmoment, räkna partiklar för att säkerställa renhet i rotatorn och kunna utföra testningen självgående för att frigöra montören under testprogrammet.

Abstract:
This study investigates second language (L2) acquisition of word orders and markers of collectivity in Chinese and Thai. One of the differences between Chinese and Thai is that Chinese nominal phrases appear with a “numeral + classifier + noun” word order while Thai phrases appear as “noun + numeral + classifier”. Another difference is that men, the Chinese collective marker, cannot be used with nouns referring to animals or indefinite nouns, while phûak, the Thai collective marker, can do so. Based on the cross-linguistic differences, an empirical study was conducted to answer whether Thai learners of Chinese and Chinese learners of Thai would be able to acquire target language (TL) structures that are different from those in their native language (L1) and whether they could reject incorrect TL structures. One hundred and forty-four participants were recruited to complete an acceptability judgment task and a self-paced reading task. It is found that both Chinese and Thai learners could perform native-like in their acceptance of TL word orders since early stages of acquisition. However, it took them until an advanced level to be able to completely reject incorrect TL word orders that resembled structures in their L1. Thai learners also faced difficulty rejecting the use of men with animal and indefinite nouns in their L2 Chinese. In contrast, Chinese learners tended to be successful in their acquisition of phûak. The results are interpreted in terms of roles of positive evidence and form-function transparency. In general, L2 learners tend to acquire a TL structure earlier when they can receive positive evidence in TL input and when a form-function connection of the structure is transparent. Nonetheless, these factors do not have an absolute effect on acquisition outcome since some learners may be able to use a probabilistic learning strategy to successfully acquire L2 knowledge even when positive evidence is unavailable.

Colloidal dispersions are usually stabilized by interparticle electrostatic repulsion. However, strong electrostatic potentials prevent nucleation of new structures. When the electrostatic potential is strongly attractive, particles coagulate into a disordered structure; if it is strongly repulsive, known processes can order them into a closepacked structure. Driven by the need to make tailored structures, researchers have focused on circumventing electrostatics to nucleate and stabilize newer structures. Yet most colloidal systems of interest are strongly charged. Reducing the electrostatic potential of a system may create only unstable structures without long-range order. In this thesis, electrostatic interaction between strongly charged particles is exploited to make novel structures. It is shown that -with an added steric component in the interaction potential- oppositely charged particles, which undergo rapid coagulation otherwise, can be arranged into stable, long-range ordered structures. Compared to their like-charged counterparts, these structures have greater stability due to an attractive electrostatic potential. It is shown that an entire class of surfactants, amphiphilic non-ionic surfactants, can be used to stabilize an oppositely charged particle system. Stabilizing these systems, allows for the nucleation of newer structures. For instance, it is shown that a non-close-packed arrangement of positive particles can be obtained on a layer of negatively charged particles. Creating such non-close-packed 2D structures on a template is essential for creating 3D non-closepacked structures. Indeed, it is shown that at high Debye lengths, by varying the concentration of particles in a suspension of like-charged colloids, electrostatic repulsion among particles can stabilize "sparse" structures. In these structures, particles occupy only a few of the many sites that are available to them. Yet, they form an ordered structure. Nuclei of a sparser structure are assembled at higher Debye length and lower particle concentration. Monte Carlo simulations confirm that these structures are stabilized by electrostatic repulsion when particle concentration is low. It is shown that the remaining sites in a sparse structure can be filled by a different particle type. By replicating this process of 2D heterostructure formation, layer by layer, and removing one kind of particle in the last step of the process, a two-layer non-close-packed structure is obtained.

Self-assembly is a process that autonomously organizes the building blocks into ordered patterns or structures from a disordered state. These ordered structures usually possess a hierarchy of length scales and represent to a state of lowest free energy. Self-assembly is reversible and can be manipulated by proper controls of the external conditions (e.g. temperature, concentration). Recently, self-assembly has been exploited as a practical strategy for constructing ordered nanostructures and has thus become an essential part in nanotechnology. Block copolymers are capable of self-assembling into a series of long-range ordered morphology governed by interblock segregation strength and the volume fraction of the constituting blocks. Therefore, they have been considered as one of the most important self-assembled polymer materials. Three topics concerning diblock copolymer blends have been studied in this dissertation, including (1) phase transition, (2) crystallization-induced perturbations of microdomain structure and (3) cocrystallization behavior. The diblock system studied in here was poly(ethylene oxide)-block-polybutadiene (PEO-b-PB). A lamellae-forming PEO-b-PB was blended with a low molecular weight homopolymer PB (h-PB) to yield PEO spheres dispersed in the PB matrix. The first experimental evidence on the existence of face-centered cubic (FCC) phase in diblock copolymer/homopolymer blends was disclosed here. The thermal reversibility experiment verified that the FCC packing was a thermodynamically stable phase at elevated temperature. The driving force of the order-order transition (OOT) between BCC and FCC phase was postulated to stem from the balance between packing frustration and interfacial energy. More importantly, the BCC-FCC OOT was found to occur if the system contained the corresponding precursor prior to transition. The lack of such a precursor may be responsible for the prevalent lack of BCC-FCC OOT among diblock copolymer systems in the bulk. Crystallization in the microdomains of crystalline-amorphous diblock copolymers may induce domain coalescence when the crystallization temperature lies above the Tg of the amorphous matrix. We have systematically studied the effect of crystallization on the microdomain morphology of PEO-b-PB/h-PB blends exhibiting spherical morphology in the melt. Isothermal crystallization was found to deform the originally spherical domain into ellipsoidal object with aspect ration of ca. 1.3. Drastic perturbation of the domain structure was induced by annealing the crystalline samples near the onset of melting, where two to three microdomains coalescence into a rod object. We have also examined the role of h-PB in the domain coalescence. It was observed that the blend containing higher h-PB content exhibited a stronger resistance against microdomain coalescence. The resistance was presumed to stem from the diffusion barrier associated with the rejection of a portion of h-PB originally dissolved in the coronal regions of the micelles during the coalescence process. The binary blends of a short symmetric PEO-b-PB and a long asymmetric PEO-b-PB have been studied to examine the cocrystallization behavior of the longer and the shorter PEO blocks confined in the lamellar microdomains. Cocrystallization was found to occur over a wide range of undercooling whereas the corresponding blends of PEO homopolymers with similar molecular weights and compositions displayed phase-segregated crystallization. In contrast to the kinetically trapped solid solutions formed in homopolymer blends, the cocrystallization behavior observed here may be driven thermodynamically to attain a lower interfacial energy in the system while allowing the long PB blocks in the asymmetric diblock to relax conformationally.

Abstract:
This article describes the use of supramolecular chemistry to design low-dimensional nanostructures at surfaces. In particular, it discusses the design strategies of two types of low-dimensional supramolecular nanostructures: structures stabilized by hydrogen bonds and structures stabilized by metal-ligand co-ordination interactions. After providing an overview of hydrogen-bond systems such as 0D discrete clusters, 1D chains, and 2D open networks and close-packed arrays, the article considers metal-co-ordination systems. It also presents experimental results showing that both hydrogen bonds and metal co-ordination offer protocols to achieve unique nanostructured systems on 2D surfaces or interfaces. Noting that the conventional 3D supramolecular self-assembly has generated a vast number of nanostructures revealing high complexity and functionality, the article suggests that 2D approaches can be applied to substrates with different symmetries as well as physical and chemical properties.

Abstract:
The technological realm provides an unusually active laboratory not only for new ideas and products but also for the remarkable linguistic innovations that accompany and describe them. How else would words like qubit (a unit of quantum information), crowdsourcing (outsourcing to the masses), or in vitro meat (chicken and beef grown in an industrial vat) enter our language? In Virtual Words: Language on the Edge of Science and Technology, Jonathon Keats, author of Wired Magazine's monthly Jargon Watch column, investigates the interplay between words and ideas in our fast-paced tech-driven use-it-or-lose-it society. In 28 illuminating short essays, Keats examines how such words get coined, what relationship they have to their subject matter, and why some, like blog, succeed while others, like flog, fail. Divided into broad categories--such as commentary, promotion, and slang, in addition to scientific and technological neologisms--chapters each consider one exemplary word, its definition, origin, context, and significance. Examples range from microbiome (the collective genome of all microbes hosted by the human body) and unparticle (a form of matter lacking definite mass) to gene foundry (a laboratory where artificial life forms are assembled) and singularity (a hypothetical future moment when technology transforms the whole universe into a sentient supercomputer). Together these words provide not only a survey of technological invention and its consequences, but also a fascinating glimpse of novel language as it comes into being. No one knows this emerging lexical terrain better than Jonathon Keats. In writing that is as inventive and engaging as the language it describes, Virtual Words offers endless delights for word-lovers, technophiles, and anyone intrigued by the essential human obsession with naming.

Abstract:
The objective of this study was to explore correlation between CAT (Computer Aided Tolerancing) simulation and physically measured results in running production with focus on operator dependant factors. Therefore, the manual assembly of 25 different system solutions (locating scheme, tolerances, fasteners etc for a part) was analyzed. The study has been performed in the automotive industry and the system solutions are from 3 different cars in 2 different factories, all manual assembly in a paced line. The analysis shows several interesting results; in running production 33% of the measurements are not ok although 28% had their tolerance zone adjusted according to the measured results to make them ok. The conclusion is that the CAT simulations do not predict all the variation and therefore additional factors need to be included to enable accuracy improvement. Further relationships between additional factors such as operator influence and bad geometrical quality can be proven. A short term solution is suggested as well as a long term solution involving the need for development of additional functions in CAT tools, the overall goal being to decrease the difference between simulation results and actual physical results.

Abstract:
Abstract Engineering students graduating today face a fast-paced, competitive marketplace where the push to reduce cycle times for product time-to-market, to reduce part count, part cost and assembly time and improve quality and reliability seems to increase almost daily. New Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to help the engineering, design and manufacturing team accomplish these goals also seem to be introduced at a phenomenal rate. Considering the facts that CAE technology is advancing at such a rapid rate and that the global marketplace pressures are also expanding at a rapid rate, engineering educators today face the challenges of preparing their students for that global marketplace, integrating the new CAE tools and concurrent engineering into the curriculum and maintaining the integrity of the basic engineering and engineering technology programs. This paper describes the efforts in the Department of Engineering Technology at Western Washington University to integrate design, concurrent engineering and microcomputer applications into the manufacturing and plastics engineering technology programs. In their freshman year, students complete two courses in engineering graphics where solid modeling, traditional Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CAD), and sketching have largely replaced manual drafting courses In their sophomore year, all students are required to complete a microcomputer based course in CAE tools In that course, students learn basic tools such as operating systems (DOS®, Windows®, and UNIX®), spreadsheet programs (Excel®), symbolic equation solvers (Mathcad®) and technical document production (Word®) Other sophomore courses, such as Materials Science, Statics and Strength of Materials, require students to use those tools for homework and projects. In the junior year, students are introduced to applied finite element analysis (FEA) in machine design and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining in their CNC course In the senior year, students complete projects with all these tools and use more advanced FEA C-Mold®, a program to model injection molding processes, is also introduced and used in the senior year Students complete concurrent engineering design projects in the sophomore through senior year All the CAE tools at Western are microcomputer based (“486” based).
