This paper proposes a self-healing solid-state drive (SSD) design strategy that exploits heat-accelerated recovery of NAND flash memory cell wear-out to improve SSD lifetime. The key is to make each NAND flash memory chip self-healable by stacking an extra heater die, and to employ system-level redundancy to ensure SSD data storage integrity when one memory chip is being self-heated for memory ...

Productivity and quality in the finish turning of hardened steels can be improved by utilizing predicted performance of the cutting tools. This paper combines predictive machining approach with neural network modeling of tool flank wear in order to estimate performance of chamfered and honed Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tools for a variety of cutting conditions. Experimental work has been performe...

Abstract. Tool wear sensing plays an important role in the optimisation of tool exchange and tip geometry compensation during automated machining in flexible manufacturing system. The focus of this work is to develop a reliable method to estimate flank wear during end milling process. A neural-fuzzy scheme is applied to perform one-step-ahead prediction of flank wear from cutting force signals ...

The present work compares the performance of three turbulence modeling approach (based on the two-equation k ε − model) in predicting erosive wear in multi-size dense slurry flow through rotating channel. All three turbulence models include rotation modification to the production term in the turbulent kineticenergy equation. The two-phase flow field obtained numerically using Galerkin finite el...

BACKGROUND The low wear rates of crosslinked polyethylenes provide the potential to use larger diameters to resist dislocation. However, this requires the use of thinner liners in the acetabular component, with concern that higher contact stresses will increase wear, offsetting the benefits of the crosslinking. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked the following questions: Is the wear of conventional a...

This paper was aimed to address the modeling and optimization of factors affecting the corrosive wear of low alloy and high carbon chromium steel balls. Response surface methodology, central composite design (CCD) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of the parameters and also to model and minimize the corrosive wear of the steels. The second-order polynomial regression model...

Material damage caused by the attack of particles entrained in a fluid system impacting a surface at high speed is called ‘Erosion’. Erosion is a phenomenon that takes place in several engineering applications. It also can be used in several manufacturing process such as abrasive waterjet machining. Erosion is a complex process dependent on particle speed, size, angle of attack as well as the b...

in the two dimensional output space. The unsupervised process leads to the self organization of modeling with no previous knowledge of what is being modeled and therefore it does not model a predetermined environment. Taking the above into account feature selection was performed by analyzing the contributions of different sensor based features towards tool wear classification. It was found that...
