This paper proposed a method for assembly sequence planning for modular product. Community structure were used in assembly sequence. Firstly, GN Algorithm was employed to detecting the module of product, Secondly candidate sets of disassembly sequence can be generated according to the module partition evolution process and priority rules, Lastly, the optimization of disassembly sequence could b...

background: a boron neutron capture therapy (bnct) facility, based on a dt neutron generator, with the final goal to find out a potential, alternative, solution to existing bnct treatment facilities which are based on nuclear reactors is examined. materials and methods: with the aim of the mcnp4b monte carlo code different beam-shaping assembly (bsa) configurations were considered. lead was sel...

In sequenced automobile assembly, the assignment of personnel is done at almost all major manufacturers subordinate to the sequencing, resulting in sub-optimal utilization of personnel resources. By integrating the sequence planning with the personnel assignment planning, a significant increase in hours-per-vehicle efficiencies is possible. The presented integrated planning approach combines a ...

facility layout problems (FLPs) are common problem in several manufacturing industries because FLPs have a great impact on production operations. Efficient manufacturing facility layout design could lead to lower manufacturing costs. Therefore, many sub problems should be addressed and considered from design stage. This research proposes a new framework for mix-model assembly line (MAL) manufac...

Mesh deformation, which is sometimes referred to as mesh morphing in CAE, is useful for providing various shapes of meshes for CAE tools. This paper proposes a new framework for interactively and consistently deforming assembly models of sheet structure for mechanical parts. This framework is based on a surface-based deformation, which calculates the vertex positions so that the mean curvature ...
