I want to find the rotation per unit length of a thin tube using their stress-strain characteristics in incremental theory.

To improve the surface integrity of the material.

I wish to create spring elements on each and every mesh node. In this case my element size are 0.08415m and therefore I wish to create every single individual spring along 16.83m pipe length with the distance between springs of 0.08415m. The figure I attached are springs I created by manually input each location of every single spring. I wonder what are the faster ways to create the spring automatically along the 16.83m without having to do it manually? I wish to have it done automatically as I will be reusing the model with different pipe diameter and pipe length and having to remodel every single spring is going kill off a lot of time. I have tried object generator but failed to generate those springs.  Appreciate any help!

Besides this there are many other optimization algorithm recently invented which are generally called Hybrid optimization Technique because it’s a combination of two method. If we share our experiences then it will be helpful for all of us who are in the field of optimization. I may be missing some methods, researcher are requested to add those algorithms and the way of use like many model needs initial value, weight, velocity, different type of writing objective function etc. I am facing some problems that’s why I make this format which will definitely help me as well as all other researchers in this field. Expecting resourceful and cordial cooperation.

Is there any relation between block chain and inventory management?

Sometimes its very necessary to find appropriate journals to submit articles but its also necessary to know the impact factor.

I am trying to reduce edge build up/down and center buildup defects during continuous hot-dip galvanising process. During analysis it showed us it is mostly during air knife adjustments.

The carotid shunt is made up of a tube on the extremities of which the balloons are glued during the manufacturing process. Quality control (functionality test) are carried out in order to ensure that the product is conform. It has to be ensured that the balloons suffer no leaks.

What are the possible quality control test (non-destructive) that can be put in place after the assembly process to ensure conformity of the product ?

Two nozzles of different output diameters (0.20 mm and 0.25 mm) are being used to take mass measurements for an analysis over a time period for the same input pressure.

It has been observed that the standard deviation in the measurements increases in with an increase in diameter of the nozzle.

Is this true? Does an increase in diameter causes greater fluctuations in the flow for the same input pressure?

Is there specific KPI(s)?

Hi, all.

Wondering about Enterprise Performance Perspectives (such as postulated by BSC), each Perspective reveals an expectation expressed by stakeholders and managers, and it also may regard such as an "aggregation" of Performance Indicators(PI).

For instance, in this hypothetical scenario:

Something related with Production, Drilling and Reservoir Engineering.

I am doing my research work in TWECDM.

1) can anybody please tell me what is the new scope in TWECDM. And what are the new materials possible for machining. I have collect all the data which are required to set up machine. But Unfortunately I could not find the materials which is suitable for the machining. So, Kindly suggest me new materials for TWCDEM.

2) is it possible to do machining sodalime glass with TWECDM?

3) I have one doubt that what are the new MMC materials are suitable for TWCDM. 

Lawyers, scientists, physicians, accountants and engineer are trained to think logically and observe ethics of their profession, but they use different method of problem solving. Their training and experience influence the way they think. Even for science based professions, scientists, engineers and physician solve their problem differently. Business leaders are advised to think like engineers, implying there is a value in it. How engineers acquire the mid-set they have? How can it be nurtured and transported to other professions.  It is said that engineers are success oriented, but “success” means different thing to different people.  Success for some is an idea becoming reality, for some an idea becoming a profitable business, and for some an idea to provide a pathway right to the bank.

There are also publication by the royal academy of engineers describing the traits of an engineer.  Few books on “think like an engineer’” were published recently. They use anecdotes to teach businessmen to think like engineers, but author themselves don’t think like engineers, since they use inductive logic rather than deductive logic. These authors begin with anecdotes, and then determine what general conclusions can logically be derived from those anecdotes. In other words, they decide what theory or theories could explain the anecdotes, then concluded that all should think like an engineers. This is a reasonable hypothesis given the data. However, induction does not prove that the theory is correct. There are often alternative theories that are also supported by the data. Such books may have an entertaining value, but no one becomes a thinker by reading them.

I am researching “how an engineer thinks?”  I appreciate if you would share your thoughts with me.

I am doing research and need to predict flank wear in end milling. I need help to measure flank wear by using image process (ccd camera) and a microscope.

As a beginner, I have some queries regarding Dodge-Romig AOQL Table as follows:

1. If the rejected lots are 100% inspected (normally), then what is the objective of selecting a sample size using Dodge-Romig AOQL table (because we already know about the lot)? I find that if I inspect each and every item of a (rejected) lot, then selecting a sample size using AOQL table makes no sense.

Conceptually can two existing semibatch distillation assets substitute for a 3 outlet continuous divided wall column, accepting lower thermal efficiency.  Think semi commercial scale.

Specifically, are there heuristics to follow for this comparison, given all column dimensions, and stages, so that the alternative flowsheet, has a greater success at being capable?

I am conducting a research project about sand production control in oil wells. And I am in need of good references to rely on while conducting my research. Any help would be appreciated.

My goal is to propose a methodology to assess the economic and environmental impact of a new equipment/technology/production system in manufacturing or remanufacturing processes by using simulation and proper KPIs

I wonder:

I warmly embrace answers ranging from the sharing of experiences in this field to references, when clearly connected to the topic.

Thank you.

In EDM process, tool wear is almost inevitable and wear characteristics do depend on tool electrode material properties, flushing conditions etc.

But will tool wear be affected by the work piece properties? For example a material like titanium which have poor thermal conductivity is difficult to machine and the machining time will be very high in comparison with the same for a material like stainless steel. 

My doubt is, apart from this longer machining time (which will result into prolonged exposure of the tool electrode to discharge conditions and may result in relatively higher wear) does any property of the work piece material (say thermal conductivity) will have a direct influence on tool wear?

Can be determined from the various models, a transition region? Is it possible that in one area, both processes can take place?

I am specially interested in languages capable to deal with dynamic and stochastic environments.

This would help me include the papers or journals as references and also study their work to find out their limitations and carry out further studies on their work.

Thank you.

Operational risk is a concept from the area of ​​financial risk. The definition is contained in the Basel II regulations. On the other hand, there is the theory of machines safety, occupational safety, environmental risk through production. It seems that the same issues come up quite differently from economists and production engineers. Maybe there are some models that integrate these issues?

The problem lies in the risk (human, economic and environmental) assessment of the designed method of production, in compliance with the terms occurring in the theory of operational risk (Basel regulations).

I'm working with multi-criteria analysis applied to manufacture processes. However, I'd like to include in my study only the most relevant manufacturing metrics available. For example, some common metrics are:

- Manufacture defects

- Degree of availability

- Production capacity

- Cost

- Cycle time

- Etc

I believe that they can be summarized into 3 main metrics:

- Cycle time

- Process efficiency

- Cost

What do you think about it? Any feedack is welcome! Thank you
