sheet metal components design and manufacture need a great deal of experience and know-how. strip layout design is usually done with trial and error until best design for strip layout is finally achieved. knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, experimental results, and the empirical knowledge of field experts. in this paper, an algorithm which can automatically design ...

abstract accurate water measurement and delivery are basic issues in irrigation networks management and performance. in this regard, baffle modules have been considered as appropriate means for delivering almost constant discharge within a specific range of upstream water variation. the structure is meant for low discharge delivery and could be employed in farm irrigation. however, the design c...

One alternative energy source is thermoelectric which able to convert waste heat into electricity. However, research on thermoelectrics still needs a lot of development, especially module design. Therefore, optimization based the design was carried out using computer simulation. parameters that can be used for analysis maximum output power thought increased through cross-sectional area, length,...

A new model of inter-module dependences is proposed. ! e key idea is that dependences are mediated by specifi cations, so that not only the existence of a dependence is recorded, but also its quality. A single module does not necessarily off er only a single specifi cation; each dependent module may use it through a diff erent specifi cation. ! is notion of dependence seems to explain some comm...
