The increasing use of Machine Learning (ML) components embedded in autonomous systems -- so-called Learning-Enabled Systems (LESs) has resulted the pressing need to assure their functional safety. As for traditional safety, emerging consensus within both, industry and academia, is assurance cases this purpose. Typically support claims reliability can be viewed as a structured way organising arg...

selecting an appropriate manufacturing machine is a very important and complex problem for firms, which usually have to deal with both qualitative and quantitative criteria. taking into account the differences among machines in terms of cost, speed, quality and after sale services, type and number of machines are important parameters to consider. therefore, the goal of this paper is to propose ...

Using computer models to predict the dynamic performance of ultraprecision machine tools can help manufacturers substantially reduce the lead time and cost of developing new machines. However the use of electronic drives on such machines is becoming widespread, the machine dynamic performance depends not only upon the mechanical structure and components but also the control system and electroni...

Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) was used to produce stator half-shells of a transverse flux machine from pure iron (99.9% Fe). In order reduce losses in the bulk components, radially extending slits with nominal width 150 and 300 µm, respectively, were integrated during manufacturing. The components subjected suitable heat treatment. addition microscopic examination slit quality, also measured ...
