Cross-rolling process for manufacturing lightweight hybrid components

Design of Lightweight Structural Components for Direct Digital Manufacturing

The rapid growth in direct digital manufacturing technologies has opened the challenge of designing optimal micro-structures for high-performance components. Current topology optimization techniques do not work well for this type of problems and hence in this paper we propose a technique based on an implicit representation of the structural topology. The detailed microstructure is defined by a ...

Rapid-Manufacturing-Process for Elastomeric Components

The Selective Laser Sintering Process of thermoplastics (SLS) enables the manufacturing of components with complex shape in a short time period without the manufacturing of a specific mold. However, this manufacturing process is limited by the restricted range of materials. In contrast to this primary shaping process, vacuum casting allows a quick, inexpensive and highly accurate process but it...

Mowing Practices and Lightweight Rolling

Anthracnose (Colletotrichum cereale Manns sensu lato Crouch, Clarke & Hillman) has been a devastating disease on annual bluegrass (ABG) [Poa annua L. f. reptans (Hausskn.) T. Koyama] putting green turf over the past 15 yr. The objectives of this 2-yr fi eld trial on ABG were to evaluate the impact of mowing height (2.8, 3.2, and 3.6 mm), mowing frequency (seven and 14 times wk–1), lightweight r...

Semantic Integration for Cross-organizational Manufacturing Business Process

Enhanced the business-to-business process integration capabilities is a key success factor in manufacturing industry. However, challenges such as changing markets and heterogeneous manufacturing resources counteract business process interactions. This paper proposes an integration framework for cross-organizational processes, in which two technologies, namely ontology and web service compositio...
