Abstract Technological evolutions have brought truly meaningful benefits, but also new challenges for which suppliers of computer product supply chains had to find solutions. Cyber-attacks are being conducted by teams cybercriminals who highly skilled in science. There been many episodes where governments some countries financially supported such an attack on a public company or institution. Th...

This article presents a methodological study on the potential use of structural optimization strategies for eco-design to support engineers during the design process of green products. The structure of the traditional process of eco-design now depends on the personal skills of the designer and his ability to integrate in the traditional design process the requirements of eco-sustainability. The...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of computer usage on the demand for paper and paperboard products. A log-linear model is developed to analyze the effect of computer usage on the demand for four categories of paper, newsprint, printing/writing paper, packaging paper and household/sanitary paper. The analysis is divided into two parts. The first part is US monthly analysis. We ...

Increasing life standards, developing technology, growing importance of food quality and safety lead food industry to search new analysis methods. In addition, high consumer expectation and increasing population forces manufacturers to find fast and accurate techniques. The present study was aimed to prepare a summary about computer aided image processing systems covering working principles and...

In general, deep drawing products have various cross-section shapes such as cylindrical, rectangular and nonaxisymmetric shapes. The application of the surface area calculation to non-axisymmetric deep drawing process has not been published yet. In this research, a surface area calculation for non-axisymmetric deep drawing products with elliptical shape was constructed for a design of blank sha...

Concepts are proposed to improve the computer support in the (re)design of mechanical products. These concepts are combined with a proposal for an improved link between CAD and CAPP systems. The concepts resulted from a methodic design approach aiming at the design of a re-design support system. Findings from literature, previously conducted research and an object oriented design approach have ...

Computers have become commonplace in our daily lives; they are embedded within so many products that they have largely become invisible. Furthermore, computers are used to aid in the design of those products and it is possible for the entire design process to be performed digitally. But humans are physical beings; evolved to have an innate understanding of the physical world. In contrast, this ...
