چکیده

Configurations of points in the plane constrained by directions only or by lengths alone lead to equivalent theories known as parallel drawings and infinitesimal rigidity of plane frameworks. We combine these two theories by introducing a new matroid on the edge set of the complete graph with doubled edges to describe the combinatorial properties of direction-length designs.

Constraining Plane Configurations in Cad: Combinatorics of Directions and Lengths

Configurations of points in the plane constrained by only directions or by lengths alone lead to equivalent theories known as parallel drawings and infinitesimal rigidity of plane frameworks. We combine these two theories by introducing a new matroid on the edge set of the complete graph with doubled edges to describe the combinatorial properties of direction–length designs.

Three-component Distillation Columns Sequencing: Including Configurations with Divided-wall Columns

In the present work, the exergy analysis and economic study of 3 different samples of threecomponent mixtures have been investigated (ESI>1, ESI≈1, and ESI<1). The feed mixture has been tested under three different compositions (low, equal, and high contents of the intermediate component). A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermo...

Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Computer Aided Design of the Tube Hydroforming and Dual Hydroforming Processes

This paper presents a control model of the hydroforming and the dual hydroforming process of a tube. The theoretical part includes calculations to measure the change in tube thickness through the developed process. The hydroforming and the dual hydroforming processes are simulated in the SOLIDSIMULATION software and the static and the dynamic simulations are modeled. The obtained results for th...

Computer Aided Design for Single-Phase Induction Motors Based on a New Gemoetrical Approach

Design of electrical motors normally involves two main stages: i) Preparation of the main dimensions and parameters. ii) Prediction of the performance. At the first stage the main dimensions of the motor, core stack Lfe and stator outer diameter Do, must be chosen. A set of performance conditions such as breakdown torque, desired output and other important parameters must satisfy the internatio...
