Advanced technologies for the calibration of machine tools are presented. Kinematic errors independently their causes classified into within one-axis as intra-axis errors, between axes inter-axis and volumetric errors. As major technological elements tool calibration, measurement methods, modeling theories, compensation strategies addressed. The criteria selecting a combination from point view ...

in this work, improved heat generation models are developed for straight and tapered shoulder geometries with different tool pin profiles in friction stir welding. the models are developed considering the welding process as a combination of the pure sliding and the pure sticking conditions. from the results, the amount of heat generation is directly proportional to the number of edges in the pi...

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) has developed into a de facto standard for objectoriented software modeling. Its popularity is also growing for real-time and embedded systems, although the modeling of important aspects of this field has not yet been standardized. In this master’s thesis, an evaluation of the UML-based software development tool Rhapsody was performed for the Hitachi H8S/2238...

This chapter outlines Papyrus, a tool for graphical modeling of UML2 applications. It is an open-source project, designed as an Eclipse component, and is based on the existing EMF-based realization of the UML2 meta-model. The goal of this open-source project project is twofold. First, it aims at providing a complete, efficient, robust, and methodologically agnostic implementation of a UML tool ...
