Fixture Designers Guidance: A Review of Recent Advanced Approaches
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fixture design is an important issue in the process of manufacturing. Fixture design is a critical design activity process which bridges Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). The present paper presents a literature review of the Computer-Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) approaches performed. The purpose of this research is to give a deep and quick understanding of fixture design, its criteria and approaches used in this field. The significant techniques used in this field along with their applications, criteria and assumptions are also considered. The shortcomings of the existing research studies are stated and some issues pertaining to handling the weaknesses of the current research are suggested to be hopefully taken into account in future research. © 2014 Jordan Journal of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.

Field-induced static and dynamic yield stresses are explored for magnetorheological (MR) suspensions in an aging, yield stress matrix fluid composed of an aqueous dispersion of Laponite clay. Using a custom-built magnetorheometry fixture, the MR response is studied for magnetic field strengths up to 1 T and magnetic particle concentrations up to 30 v%. The yield stress of the matrix fluid, whic...
متن کاملModeling of Self-Healing Concrete: A Review
Self-healing concrete (SHC) has received a tremendous attention due to its advanced ability of automatic crack detection and crack repairing compared to the standard concrete. Two main approaches which considered as to-date self-healing mechanisms are autogenous and autonomous healing. In the past several years, the effort of the research has been focused on experimental works instead of numeri...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Modular Fixtures
Modular fixtures are gaining wide use for flexible manufacturing and job shop machining. A modular fixture is an arrangement of fixture elements (fixels) that will locate and securely hold a given part. Typically, a human combines intuition with trial-and-error to design fixtures. In some cases designers are unable to design a fixture with given fixels and must resort to custom tooling. It is p...
