In industrial practice, production planning is a key factor for manufacturers and suppliers. The entire planning process spans from the appearance of the customer demand to the fulfillment of the demand. Operational execution is based on pre-planned production processes and operations using properly allocated resources. The accurate planning of assembly operations within production is an extremely complex process in terms of efficiency. Predicting stochastically variable efficiencies is difficult due to the ever-changing manufacturing conditions. This paper defines typical assembly process situations for a semi-automatic assembly line and examines their consequence for the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Firstly, a literature review demonstrates the scientific relevance. Secondly, the classification of patterns based on assembly process description parameters is described taking into account the positive and negative effects on the OEE. In addition, the assembly patterns and their characteristics are illustrated through a real automotive example.

This article is committed to examine the unsteady MHD Casson liquid flow in an inclined infinite vertical plate in the proximity of heat generation and thermal radiation. The governing energy and momentum partial differential equations are ascertained. The momentum equation is established for two distinct types of conditions when the magnetic domain is relevant to the liquid and the magnetic domain is relevant to the moving plate. Analytical expressions for liquid temperature and motion are acquired by applying Laplace transform technique. The effects of physical parameters are accounted for two distinct types of motions namely impulsive motion and accelerated motion. The numerical values of liquid motion and temperature are displayed graphically for various values of pertinent flow parameters. A particular case of our development shows an excellent compromise with the previous consequences in the literature.

Flow problems are solved using so-called fundamental equations and the corresponding initial and boundary conditions. The fundamental equations are the motion equation, the continuity equation, the energy conservation equation, and the state equations. In our paper, we extend the validity of the equation of motion used to describe one-dimensional, steady-state tubular flow to a case in which the mass flow of the medium changes along the tubular axis during the flow. Such flows occur in perforated and/or porous pipes and air ducts. The research in this direction was motivated by the fact that the extension and formulation of the equation of motion in this direction has not been carried out with completely general validity. In the equation of motion used to solve the problems, the isochoric and isotherm nature were assumed. In our paper, we present fundamental equations that formulate differential equations to describe polytrophic and expanding flows.

In this study, we prepared polypropylene sheets with a superhydrophobic surface from extruded sheets with a phase separation method. We investigated the influence of extrusion parameters on the morphological properties of the polypropylene sheet and found that two significantly different structures can be formed in the cross-section of the sheet when the cooling temperature was varied. The effect of the morphology of the extruded material was studied on phase separation and through that on the surface structure that formed. The created morphology of the extruded sheet plays a significant role in the procedure of the phase separation method and less in surface wettability. We also included a polypropylene blend and nucleated polypropylene in this study to investigate their role in surface morphological changes and indirectly on wetting behavior. Surfaces have become superhydrophobic with an increased water contact angle from 102° to 150° and contact angle hysteresis below 10°. For nucleated polypropylene samples, we achieved remarkably good results (a water contact angle of 158°). The morphological and wettability behavior of the surfaces were investigated with a polarized optical microscope and water contact angle measurements, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.

New generations of high strength aluminum alloys are increasingly used in automotive industry. AA7075 is one of the strongest aluminum alloys in industrial use today. The outstanding strength properties open the possibility to use this alloy in automotive industry as a possible alternative material for car body elements instead of steels. Growing industrial demand of aluminum alloys led to the development new technologies, processes. Solution heat treatment, forming, and in-die quenching is one such technology. In our research work the different parts of the heat affected zone of AA7075-T6 high strength aluminum were examined. The thermal cycle of the heat affected zone was tested at four different temperatures (280 °C, 380 °C, 440 °C, 550 °C) with the help of physical simulation. The aim was to define the softening tendency of the heat affected zone after gas tungsten arc welding. Two heat input values 100 J/mm and 200 J/mm were selected in order to simulate a low and a high heat input welding at the given sheet thickness and welding technology by the application of Rykalin 2D model. Then the most critical subzone was selected for the further investigations. Therefore, the 380 °C temperature was examined in case of five more technical processes, which based on the solution heat treatment, forming, and in-die quenching process. The properties of the investigated subzone were examined by optical microscope and hardness test.

The flow discharge computation is based on assumptions about the energy grade line slope and the water level to estimate the stream flow with the hydraulic model of Manning's equation. The purpose of this paper is to improve the river discharge prediction using a modified practical Manning's equation for non-uniform but also for uniform flow conditions by using free surface slope, bed slope, friction coefficient and the flow depth. This paper presents an improvement in the integration of the average velocity in gradually varied flows. To validate the modified equation, experimentations have been carried out in the hydraulic laboratory of Ain Temouchent University (Algeria) for 23 flow discharges through two measurement sections; we have got 46 values of the average velocity, the bed slope and free surface slope. The results compare very well with the experimentations. A very good agreement has been found between measured and computed velocities with a coefficient of determination R2 (97.91% for section A and 99.45% for Section B) with the normalized RMSE low than 2.4%. This could be a very useful contribution for the literature. No closer-form of this modified Manning equation is available in the literature.

Degradation and failure prediction has become more and more crucial for maintenance planning and scheduling, the decision-making process, and many other areas of manufacturing systems. This paper presents an approach where different artificial neural network models were developed to predict the degradation path of a machine component using different architectures, including fully connected networks (FCN) and arbitrarily connected networks (ACN). These models were trained using the Neuron-by-Neuron (NBN) training algorithm with forward-backward computations, where NBN is an improved form of the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, combined with FCN and ACN architectures, which can be trained efficiently, it can give more accurate predictions with a fewer number of neurons used. The developed models were evaluated using the statistical performance measure of the sum of squared error (SSE). The results show that the used networks are successfully able to predict the degradation path; the 8-neurons model of FCN architecture and the 3-neurons model of ACN architecture with tanh (mbib) hidden layers activation function and linear function (mlin) of the outputs have the lowest prediction error (SSE) among all the developed models. The use of such architectures combined with NBN training algorithm can easily model manufacturing systems with complex component structures that provide a vast amount of data.

Characteristics of the vibrations of rotational systems with misalignment and rotating looseness are well known and they are used for fault detection in the rotating machinery. For the better understanding and easier decision make in the fault removing process it is necessary to know how severe each fault is. Lack of procedures for quantification of this faults in rotational machinery is evident. In this paper is investigated the possibility for use of multiple regression analysis for determination of quantity of faults in vibration velocity signal. An experimental motor – coupling – rotor system is created and produced. These systems have capability of changing the values of misalignment and rotational looseness. Measurement of vibrational quantities were conducted on these systems by using piezoelectrical accelerometers for different combinations of fault values. All measurements were stored and processed digitally. All measurements have shown the presence of the main characteristics of introduced faults. It is confirmed that it is not possible to use RMS (root mean square) of vibration velocity, since there is a lot of other factors which has significant impact on the vibration quantity.

The standing human body is frequently modeled as an inverted double pendulum restricted to a single plane. In order to capture the coordination efforts and interplay between spatial dimensions, the model has to capture motion and joint torques in all spatial dimensions. Our two-segment model covers two degrees of freedom (ML and AP revolutions) at the ankle and the hip level and utilizes the Denavit-Hartenberg convention. This work aimed to validate the model's torque estimation on a diverse group of participants (11 women, 22–56 years, 11 men, 22–61 years). The inverse dynamic calculations provide estimated joint torques for a motion capture recorded trial, while standing on a force platform enables the indirect measurement of ankle torques. A 60-second-long visually guided balancing task was recorded and repeated three times. The estimated and the indirectly measured torques were compared, and offset and variance type errors ( normalized RMSE and R2 ) were analyzed. The R2-values were excellent (R2 > 0.90) 64 out of the 66 cases (97%) for AP torques and 58 out of the 66 cases (88%) for ML torques. Normalized RMSE values were dominantly under the 0.35 value with some outliers. RMSE showed no evident connection with age, body height, body mass, or BMI. An open-chain kinematic model with two segments, following the Denavit-Hartenberg convention, is well suited to estimate the control torque traces of the human body during standing balancing and needs only three tracked positions.

In order to conceive command systems for welding equipment based on intelligence techniques similar to human thinking; it is better to use artificial intelligence methods, for example: Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization. Freshly, this latter has received increased attention in many research fields. This paper discuss the application of particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the welding process parameters and obtain a better Width of Head Affected Zone (WHAZ) in the welding machine which is gas metal arc welding. The effect of four main welding variables in the gas metal arc welding process, namely welding speed, welding voltage, nozzle-to-plate distance and wire feed speed on the WHAZ are studied. A source code is developed in MATLAB 8.3 to perform the optimization.
