This paper introduces a perpetual type-2 Neuro-Fuzzy modelling structure for continuous learning and its application to the complex thermo-mechanical metal process of steel Friction Stir Welding (FSW). The ‘perpetual’ property refers to the capability of the proposed system to continuously learn from new process data, in an incremental learning fashion. This is particularly important in industr...

objective: international diabetes organization estimates that there are 285 million people worldwide who suffer from diabetes, and this figure is expected to increase to 450 million in next 20 years. according to statistics issued by the world health organization, diabetes is considered among ten leading causes of death in world and its prevalence in the population is growing.this paper deals w...

In the field of manufacturing systems automated data acquisition and development of technological innovations like manufacturing execution systems (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Advanced Planning Systems (APS) and new trends in Big Data and Business Intelligence (BI) have given rise to new applications and methods of existing decision support technologies. Today manufacturers need a...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methodology that connects several methods, from geometrical design post-process selection, into common optimisation framework. Design/methodology/approach A formulated and tested in case study. outcome the study analysed by comparing obtained results with alternative designs achieved using other methods. ...

ground penetrating radar (gpr) is one of high resolution geophysical methods for locating missed objects, buried equipments. gpr is a nondestructive testing method that is useful in various kinds of explorations such as mapping the archaeological sites. the safety of the archaeological sites is one of the most concerns of the archaeologists. one of the best gpr applications is in archaeology as...

in the current seismic data acquisition techniques, sources are fired with large time intervals in order to avoid interferences between the responses of successively firing sources, measured by the receivers. this leads to a time-consuming and expensive survey. theoretically the waiting time between two successively firing sources has to be infinite, since the wavefield never vanishes completel...

Semiconductor manufacturing spans across many manufacturing areas, including wafer manufacturing where electronic circuitry is built layered on a wafer, chip manufacturing that involves circuit probing and testing, and product manufacturing from which the final IC (integrated circuits) products are assembled, and finally tested. Semiconductor manufacturing is well known as the most challenging ...

The evaluation of a free fluid surface in a porous medium has several mathematical applications that are important in industries using molds, particularly in the fluid injection process. The vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process is a promising technology in the primary composite industry. An accurate computational simulation of the VARTM process would be a cost-effective tool i...
