Many joint parts by welding are found in the compression vessels, ship structures, pipings, heat exchangers, etc. Before their welding, steel plate cutting in a required form is very important. But because of the present CAD system's capability, unless otherwise expensive general CAD system is equipped, the efficiency or the accuracy of the cutting work can not be achieved easily. In order to get over this sort of problems, application-specific software that is limited on for the development view of the joint parts in those sort of facilities mentioned before was developed in this study.

Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) has excellent mechanical properties and high specific strength; therefore, it is widely used in aerospace, automobile, defense, engine parts, and bio fields. Particularly in the aerospace field, as it has a low specific gravity and rigidity, it is used for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency through weight reduction of parts, and most have a thin-walled structure. However, it is extremely difficult to machine thin-walled shapes owing to vibration and deformation. In the case of thin-walled structures, the cutting forces and vibrations rapidly increase depending on the cutting conditions, significantly affecting the surface integrity and tool life. In this study, machining experiments on thin-wall milling of a titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) were conducted for each experimental condition with different axial depths of cut, radial depth of cut, and machining sequence. The machining characteristics were analyzed, and an effective machining method was derived by a comprehensive analysis of the machined surface conditions and cutting signals.

The fine blanking is a process of press-working which makes possible to produce thick sheet metal parts of finished sheared surface and close dimensional accuracy over whole material thickness in single blanking operation. Fineblanked parts in general are characterized by their cleanly sheared surface over the whole stock thickness and accurate size for the specific functions. The fine blanking technology is urgently needed to remove secondary operations which are necessary in conventional blanking operation and cost reduction. In this study, the effect of material texture and vee-ring on parts for automobile is investigated by experimental observation and analysis.

This paper presents an example of the development of motor drives for machine tools. Machine tools need motor drives with high control precision and performance. We developed a motor drive system that meets these requirements. The converter, the one component of drive system, adopts modular structure and high DC-link voltage. The drive which consists rest part of drive system is developed based on TMS320C32 DSP and state-of-the-art circuit technology. In this paper each developed parts are described in terms of its structure, specification and features.

Group technology(GT) is a manufacturing philosophy which identifies and exploits the similarity of parts and processes in design and manufacturing. A specific application of GT is cellular manufacturing. the first step in the preliminary stage of cellular manufacturing system design is cell formation, generally known as a machine-part cell formation(MPCF). This paper presents and tests a grouping gentic algorithm(GGA) for solving the MPCF problem and uses the measurements of e(ficacy. GGA's replacement heuristic used similarity coefficients is presented.

Titanium alloy (Ti-alloy) is widely used as a material for core parts of aircraft structures and engines that require both lightweight and heat-resistant properties owing to their high specific stiffness. Most parts used in aircraft have I-, L-, and H-shaped thin-walled structures for weight reduction. It is difficult to machine thin-walled structures owing to vibrations and deformations during machining. In particular, cutting tool damage occurs in the corners of thin-walled structures owing to the rapid increase in cutting force and vibration, and machining quality deteriorates because of deep tool marks on machined surfaces. In this study, milling experiments were performed to derive an effective method for machining a L-shaped thin-walled structure with Ti-alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Three types of machining experiment were performed. The surface quality, tool wear, cutting force, and vibration were analyzed comprehensively, and an effective machining method in terms of tool life and machining quality was derived.

The group formation problem of the machine and part is a critical issue in the planning stage of cellular manufacturing systems. The machine-part grouping with alternative process plans means to form machine-part groupings in which a part may be processed not only by a specific process but by many alternative processes. For this problem, this study presents an algorithm based on self organizing neural networks, so called SOM (Self Organizing feature Map). The SOM, a special type of neural networks is an intelligent tool for grouping machines and parts in group formation problem of the machine and part. SOM can learn from complex, multi-dimensional data and transform them into visually decipherable clusters. In the proposed algorithm, output layer in SOM network had been set as one-dimensional structure and the number of output node has been set sufficiently large in order to spread out the input vectors in the order of similarity. In the first stage of the proposed algorithm, SOM has been applied twice to form an initial machine-process group. In the second stage, grouping efficacy is considered to transform the initial machine-process group into a final machine-process group and a final machine-part group. The proposed algorithm was tested on well-known machine-part grouping problems with alternative process plans. The results of this computational study demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm can be easily applied to the group formation problem compared to other meta-heuristic based algorithms. In addition, it can be used to solve large-scale group formation problems.

In this paper, we have shown Dalvik virtual machine implementation to reduce the profiling overhead from the trace of the JIT compiler for the specific method. By running the same Java method on the original Dalvik VM and the modified Dalvik VM, we have achieved around 30% performance improvement with this algorithm. In this paper, to increase the reader's understanding of Android Dalvik virtual machine, we will explain the architecture of Dalvik JIT compiler and we will provide the detailed explanation with source codes for modified parts of Dalvik virtual machine. From the industry perspective, we can expect competitive benefits over the competitors with performance improvement in Android core.

This paper presents a methodology for the development of a part classification and coding system suited to each individual company. When coding a group of parts for a specific company by a general purpose part classification & coding system like OPITZ system, it is frequently observed that we use only a small subset of total available code numbers. Such sparsity in the actual occurrences of code numbers implies that we can design a better system which uses digits of the system more parsimoniously. A 2-dimensional fuzzy ISODATA algorithm is developed to extract the important characteristics for the classification from the set of given parts. Based on the extracted characteristics nd the distances between fuzzy clustering cenetroids, a company-unique classification and coding system can be developed. An example case study for a medium sized machine shop is presented.

An expert system is developed for rational and efficient design of multi-component injection molding which is a fairly new manufacturing technique to produce plastic parts by injecting two or more materials sequentially using multiple injection units in a single machine into a single rotary mold. The knowledge base used in the present design system is primarily composed of two parts ; knowledge from domain expert and knowledge from CAE analysis. The present expert system has hour main modules ; general design guidelines for injection molding specific guidelines for multi-component injection molding redesign guidelines from the result of the CAE analysis and finally troubleshooting for multi-component injection molding. To show the validity of the present design methodology two shop floor design problems were tested ; design and fabrication of timing belt cover and power window's assist knob by using multi-component injection molding.
