Abstract: In this research, teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm has been used for determining optimal cutting process parameters in ball-end milling processes where multiple conflicting objectives are present. First, dynamic cutting force components have been modeled using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based on design of experiments and then TLBO algorithm is used to determine the objective function maximum (cutting force surface) by consideration of cutting constraints. Ball-end milling experiments have been performed according to the experimental plan. Analysis of the developed approach has been performed to test its validity. The results showed that integrated system of ANFIS and TLBO is an effective approach for solving multi-objective cutting conditions optimization problem in ball-end milling. The high accuracy of results within a wide range of machining parameters indicates that the system can be practically applied in industry.

 

Key words: end-milling, cutting parameters, optimization, TLBO, cutting force, ANFIS.

Optimization of an intake system using CFD numerical simulation

Abstract: The paper deals with the use of CFD numerical simulations during the design and optimization of components, which are used for air distribution taking into account temperature. An intake manifold for a light racing vehicle has been chosen as a representative example. The aim of the research is to find a solution with the best possible distribution of air to the individual cylinders of the engine, whilst ensuring the quick response of the car engine. This type of analysis is very problematic because there is high speed compressible flow of air in the intake system, pressure drops and changes of temperatures. The optimization of the shape of the airbox is achieced in connection with CFD simulation (solver Siemens NX Advanced Flow) with the geometrical optimization of the generic model of the airbox. A 1D model of the engine was created to obtain the input data for CFD analysis. Values of pressures and temperatures for the individual cylinders of the engine in relation to time were subsequently generated from the 1D model. These values are used as input for the CFD analysis. The final analysis was performed as transient for several combustion cycles of the engine.

 

Key words: numerical simulation, CFD, intake manifold.

Abstract: In general, the profile measuring machine uses the displacement sensor attached on movable mechanism in order to measure the object. It could measure the object profile by the amount of movement of the displacement sensor and output of the displacement sensor. When measuring the object, metrological frame is important as a reference. If the metrological frame has some profile errors, the output of the displacement sensor includes the profile error of the metrological frame. We proposed a new method to distinguish the profile error of the metrological frame from the output of the displacement sensor. The proposed method requires two linear stages and the displacement sensor. Two linear stages are set and aligned in parallel; displacement sensor and object are mounted on each stage. The output of the displacement sensor can be obtained by the combination of the position of the two linear stages. The object profile and profile error of the movable mechanism are determined by calculation using only the output of the displacement sensor. The validity of the new method was confirmed by the simulation and experiment. It was confirmed to be possible to construct metrological frame less than 1 μm.

 

Key words: metrological frame, profile error, error separation, profile measurement, Linear Stages.

Abstract: This paper presents a review of genetic algorithms in integrated process planning and scheduling problems.  According to the literature information, process planning and scheduling are two functions that were sequentially carried out in a manufacturing system, where scheduling was performed after process plans had been generated. Their integration highly improves the performance and efficiency of manufacturing systems. The integrated process planning and scheduling problem belongs to the class of most difficult combinatorial problems and it requires high efficient methods for finding optimal solutions. Genetic algorithms are one of the most famous metaheuristic algorithms based on the principles of artificial intelligence that found its use in various branches of science. Modern genetic algorithms proved to be very reliable in finding optimal process plans and schedules. Here, state of the art review of genetic algorithms for optimization of process planning, scheduling and their integration is shown. Many different modifications and hybrid approaches are briefly discussed. Mostly used genetic components and strategies are shortly presented with some sample parts that are often considered when testing genetic algorithm performances.

 

Key words: genetic algorithms, optimization, integration, process planning, scheduling.

Abstract: The present paper aims to analyse the forming capacity of stainless steel materials with hydroforming forming process. For this research 1.4301 (X5CrNi18-10) austenitic stainless steel has been in focus for numerical and experimental analysis. The main advertised advantages of this material are ease of formability, good corrosion resistance and excellent aesthetic appearance for the end product. For proper forming evaluation tensile test, forming limit curves – Nakajima test have been carried out. The main material mechanical characteristics were processed in order to determine an accurate finite element model. The hydroforming drawn part was formed by a newly developed hydroforming press concept, developed by the authors. The numerical results were compared to the measured experimental results with the help of optical strain measurement software.

 

Keywords: numerical simulation, sheet metal forming, hydroforming, experimental research, stainless steel, CAD design, uniaxial tensile test, forming limit curve.

Abstract: With the advent of cellular transportation systems, intralogistics saw a completely new concept of materials handling. The advantage of this technique is its ability to provide increased productivity and flexibility of material flow combined with a high degree of automation. Despite many advantages, the industry has hardly adopted the concept, due to high cost and the effort that is necessary to develop the hardware. Implementing modular assembly kits can help reduce the workload. In addition, modular assembly kits allow for a simple exchangeability of components based on individual requisitions. The purpose of this paper is to present a new modular design catalog and knowledge representation for autonomous shuttle vehicles, providing an integral approach with the advantage of both open path navigation on the shop floor as well as inside an automated storage system. Current systems are analyzed according to their tasks and functions. With the results of the analysis, requirements of possible new systems are defined. Based on a requirements list, four essential subassembly modules are categorized: carriage and drive train, sensor technology and control, energy management and load handling devices. In a knowledge-based engineering approach the interrelationships and dependencies between each module are demonstrated. The combination of technical solutions contained in the design catalog allows the creation of several potential systems. A total of three exemplary shuttles are described from different perspectives: the shuttle ‘flexible’ is able to handle multiple loads with varying dimensions, the shuttle ‘standard’ describes a single load system similar to vehicles currently used and finally the shuttle ‘budget’ that provides similar functionality at a lower cost.

 

Key words: shuttle system, autonomous guided vehicle, cellular transport system, function-oriented modularization, assembly kit, modular design catalog.
