...Jaime Juan; M. Núria Salán; Arlindo Silva; José A. Tornero The world is changing and demanding stronger, lighter, and more versatile materials. Taking advantage of the full potential of these materials also requires versatile manufacturing processes. The in situ forming of a liquid-infused preform...

... of the product development process. In particular, early design decisions can have a very significant impact on sustainability. These decisions not only relate to material and manufacturing choices but have a far-reaching effect on the product’s entire life cycle, including transportation, distribution, and end...

... the designer’s original intent. To overcome this situation, the research presented in this paper focuses on the identification and implementation of manufacturing concerns into the design process. Previous work on a 2D disk brake rotor design has shown that processing dwell time is one of the critical factors...

...Diane E. Vaughan; Sheldon H. Jacobson; Derek E. Armstrong Discrete manufacturing process design optimization can be difficult, due to the large number of manufacturing process design sequences and associated input parameter setting combinations that exist. Generalized hill climbing algorithms have...
