Classifications and Properties of Materials for Chairside Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing Dentistry: A Review

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...

Design and Fabrication of Materials for Laser Shape Deposition Manufacturing

Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) is a layered manufacturing technique, which uses sequential steps of material deposition and removal to form 3-D structures. A Nd-YAG laser is used to produce fully dense, near net shape multi-material deposits. However, residual stresses caused by the temperature gradient and material property mismatches result in part inaccuracy, warpage, or even delaminat...

Design of 7×24 logistics system for hazardous materials (case study: distribution of gasoline)

The transportation of hazardous materials such as gasoline has unique features due to the nature of these type of materials and the importance role of these material in human life. Therefore, determining the routing of these materials is more challengeable than non-hazardous one due to more dangerous and risky condition besides the transportation costs. Since the distribution of gasoline take p...

1 Soft Computing in Design and Manufacturing of Advanced Materials

The goal of this paper is to show the potential of fuzzy sets and neural networks, often referred to as soft computing, for aiding in all aspects of manufacturing of advanced materials like ceramics. In design and manufacturing of advanced materials it is desirable to find which of the many processing variables contribute most to the desired properties of the material. There is also interest in...
