.hot metal gas forming of tubes can be used in various industries such as automotive and aerospace industries. in this process tube is formed at elevated temperatures, by using gas instead of fluid pressure. lower required pressure and low power are its advantages in comparison to hydroforming process. in this paper, a hot metal gas bulging process of an aluminum alloy tube has been investigate...

in recent years, supply chain management has developed into one of the most critical strategies for achieving competitive advantage in different industries and the supplier selection process has increasingly been distinguished as an important and vital decision in supply chain management of manufacturing and service industries. on the other hand, with so many suppliers having different capabili...

Abstract The proper monitoring of quality-related but hard-to-measure variables is currently one the bottlenecks limiting safe and efficient operations industrial processes. This paper proposes a novel ensemble learning algorithm by coordinating global local Gaussian process regression (GPR) models, this able to capture behaviours for accurate prediction timely monitoring. To further address de...

Process industries has for long been important for the development of Swedish industry and society. All industries face different conditions that affect how to best run their operations. This thesis aims to describe some of the conditions that characterize process industries compared to other industries. Further one of these characteristics has been studied more closely. One of the traits of pr...
