Finding well-defined clusters in data represents a fundamental challenge for many data-driven applications, and largely depends on good representation. Drawing literature regarding representation learning, studies suggest that one key characteristic of latent representations is the ability to produce semantically mixed outputs when decoding linear interpolations two representations. We propose ...

one of the most important issues in the plant layout design especially in mass production organizations with high inter-plant logistics is‘material flow and inter-plant traffic analysis and its effects on the production capabilities or pauses in production lines. in this paper the inter-plant traffic analysis issue on the basis of single channel queue model (m/m/1) is analyzed in a carmaker c...

Bamboo, with its high strength-to-weight ratio as a fiber-reinforced composite material, has wide applications throughout the world. Tre Gai (bambusa stenostachya) bamboo is a popular industry material in Vietnam. This paper attempts to characterize the microstructure and mechanical properties of Tre Gai bamboo through a variety of tests and models. Volume fraction of fiber sheath with radial p...

One of the greatest challenges of manufacturing sheet metal parts is to obtain consistent part dimensions. Springback, the elastic material recovery when the tooling is removed, is the major cause of variations and inconsistencies in the final part geometry. Obtaining a consistent and desirable amount of springback is extremely difficult due to the non-linear effects and interactions between pr...
