AMT implementation is often a high-risk investment. Many companies experience a misalignment between the installed functionality and pro- duction needs. There is a need for decision support in order to take into account all possible advantages and disad- vantages of the technology implementation, and ensure that the technology meets the requirements of the production processes. In this article, a differentiated technology justi- fication approach is introduced. The approach suggests a combination of strategic, financial and risk justification methods. The recommended number and type of methods depend on the integration level of the technical system under consideration, ranging from stand-alone machines to large and integrated production systems. The approach was developed based on a literature review and a case study. The application of the approach was presented in a case where several types of pipe bending technology were evaluated.展开更多

In the context of aerospace composites production in particular, there is a heightened impetus to address and reduce this risk. Current qualification and substantiation frameworks within the aerospace industry define tractable methods for risk reduction. In parallel, Industry 4.0 is an emerging set of technologies and tools that can enable better decision-making towards risk reduction, supported by data-driven models. It offers new paradigms for manufacturers, by virtue of enabling <i>in-situ</i> decisions for optimizing the process as a dynamic system. However, the static nature of current (pre-Industry 4.0) best-practice frameworks may be viewed as at odds with this emerging novel approach. In addition, many of the predictive tools leveraged in an Industry 4.0 system are black-box in nature, which presents other concerns of tractability, interpretability and ultimately risk. This article presents a perspective on the current state-of-the-art in the aerospace composites industry focusing on risk reduction in the autoclave processing, as an example system, while reviewing current trends and needs towards a Composites 4.0 future.展开更多

This paper provides a dif-ferent perspective by examining relevant challenges and providing examples of some less-talked-about yet essential topics, such as hybrid systems, redefining advanced manufacturing, basic building blocks of new manufacturing, ecosystem readiness, and technology scalahility. The first major challenge is to （re-）define what the manufacturing of the future will he, if we wish to： ① raise public awareness of new manufacturing＇s economic and societal impacts, and ② garner the unequivocal support of policy- makers. The second major challenge is to recognize that manufacturing in the future will consist of sys-tems of hybrid systems of human and robotic operators; additive and suhtractive processes; metal and composite materials; and cyher and physical systems. Therefore, studying the interfaces between con- stituencies and standards becomes important and essential. The third challenge is to develop a common framework in which the technology, manufacturing business case, and ecosystem readiness can he eval- uated concurrently in order to shorten the time it takes for products to reach customers. Integral to this is having accepted measures of ＂scalahility＂ of non-information technologies. The last, hut not least, chal-lenge is to examine successful modalities of industry-academia-government collaborations through public-private partnerships.

This paper puts forw ard a mechanical and electrical step actuator of nanometer precision, which cons ists of a step motor of large fine-dividing number of step angle, shaft couplin gs, a decelerator of large decelerating ratio, a screw mechanism and a pole of U shape, and has the minimum step displacement of 10 nm, the step displac ement precision of 1 nm, the step frequency of 4 kHz, the maximum loadability of 20 kg. In order to achieve the nano displacement of nano precision by this actu ator, the theoretical analysis of stress and strain must be made on the transmit ting course of nano displacement of the actuator, and their numerical simulation is done by computer. The paper establishes the constitutive equation of 3-D stress and the strain co ordinate equation of the composing system of the nanometer precision actuator. A s a result, the theoretical relation among stress and strain and displacement is set up. The torque of the step motor produces a thrust to transmit the displace ment of the above system of the parts and assemblies to output the needed nano d isplacement. In the case of concrete analysis and calculating, the comparing met hod of film-roof is applied to analyze and calculate the motor axis, decelerato r axes, the screw pole and the nut. The analysis method of plane stress and stra in is used to analyze and calculate the shaft couplings and gears. The analysis method of beam stress and strain is used to do the pole of U shape. These calcul ation is belong to the physical non-linear problem. Under the condition of smal l deformation, the analysis way of the finite element can be combined with the a bove analyses and calculations. The elementary analysis results show that the na nometer precision actuator can be applied in STM nanofabrication.展开更多

There is no problem to express them exactly mathematically, but th e reportage has not been done on the investigation of precision analysis of thre e-dimension free curves nanofabrication. Nanofabrication Precision includes the geometrical precision and the precision of driving system (below simply cal led the system precision). This paper submits the precision analysis method of c urve normal vector to analyze geometrical precision. Take an aspherical surf ace for example, it can be fitted and constructed by tensor product parameter cu rves, such as linear drawing curves, straight veins curves, rotating curves, swe eping curves, DUCT curves and Geomap curves. Then the curves of the aspherical s urface is iterated and modified to select the best fitted curves of the aspheric al surface. Finally, the geometrical precision of perfect approximate aspherical surface fitting has been sought. This kind of geometrical fitting construction is very important. Another is the system precision, which contains axial position precision, line p recision, and twisting and swinging precision, etc. The paper adopts the theory of precision optimum match (Prof. Wang Er-qi first put forward in 19 83) to allocate precision optimumly. The minimum cost is used as an objective fu nction, and weight method matches the precision. To obtain the optimum match combination of the minimum cost design parameters and every composing element t olerance, the precision is iterated and sought optimumly to design the system op timumly. The theoretical analysis shows that it’s feasible to control three dim ension free curves nanofabrication within nanometer scale precision.展开更多

In this situatio...Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) requires a process of grinding, mixing and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams into a polymer matrix that creates a high-strength fiber composite. In this situation, the specified waste or base raw materials used are the waste thermoplastics and different types of cellulosic waste including rice husk and saw dust. FRC is a high-performance fiber composite achieved and made possible through a proprietary molecular re-engineering process by interlinking cellulosic fiber molecules with resins in the FRC material matrix, resulting in a product of exceptional structural properties. In this feat of molecular re-engineering, selected physical and structural properties of wood are effectively cloned and obtained in the FRC component, in addition to other essential qualities in order to produce superior performance properties to conventional wood. The dynamic characteristics of composite structures are largely extracted from the reinforcing of fibres. The fiber, held in place by the matrix resin, contributes to tensile strength in a composite, enhancing the performance properties in the final part, such as strength and rigidity, while minimizing weight. The advantages of composite materials always beat down their disadvantages. In this analysis, we tried to find out FRC advance manufacturing, recycling technology and future perspective for mankind and next generation development. This research will bring a new horizon for future science with FRC technology and every aspect of modern science which will bring a stable dimensional stability by recycling process with minimizing waste for environment and next generation science.展开更多

It is a profound transformation of techno-economic paradigms, imbedded in the technology, management, and institutional systems. As this revolution deepens, it is likely that manufacturing and the manufacturing sector would acquire new definitions. In addition, the resource foundation and factor structure, which are central to the competitiveness of a nation and an enterprise, would perhaps be reconfigured, hence rewriting the landscape of global industrial competition. Under this scenario, the ＂smiling curve ＇＂ which used to portray the economic features of the value chain, may change into a ＂silence curve＂ or even ＂sadness curve ＂. The catching- up pathway of latecomer countries, as predicted by the traditional ＇flying geese model＂, is likely to be blocked, solidifying the division of＂core and periphery countries＂ which is unfavorable to developing countries. Industrial competition between countries would move from competition between enterprises and supply chains to competition in industrial ecosystems, matdng system adaptability and dynamics the key to long-term industrial competitiveness. As an effort to embrace the ＂Third Industrial Revolution＂ and meet the challenges brought by ＂multi-facets competition＂ with developed industrial nations in various links of value chain, in the future China should make appropriate adjustments in its strategies for economic transition and upgrading, global competition, technological innovation, industrial development and information technology.展开更多

This paper submits the precision analysis method of c urve normal vector to analyze geometrical precision. Take an aspherical surf ace for example, it can be fitted and constructed by tensor product parameter cu rves, such as linear drawing curves, straight veins curves, rotating curves, swe eping curves, DUCT curves and Geomap curves. Then the curves of the aspherical s urface is iterated and modified to select the best fitted curves of the aspheric al surface. Finally, the geometrical precision of perfect approximate aspherical surface fitting has been sought. This kind of geometrical fitting construction is very important. Another is the system precision, which contains axial position precision, line p recision, and twisting and swinging precision, etc. The paper adopts the theory of precision optimum match (Prof. Wang Er-qi first put forward in 19 83) to allocate precision optimumly. The minimum cost is used as an objective fu nction, and weight method matches the precision. To obtain the optimum match combination of the minimum cost design parameters and every composing element t olerance, the precision is iterated and sought optimumly to design the system op timumly. The theoretical analysis shows that it’s feasible to control three dim ension free curves nanofabrication within nanometer scale precision.

文摘Sustainable processes for purifying water,capturing carbon,producing biofuels,operating fuel cells,and performing energy-efficient industrial separations will require next-generation membranes.Solvent-less fabrication for membranes not only eliminates potential environmental issues with organic solvents,but also solves the swelling problems that occur with delicate polymer substrates.Furthermore,the activation procedures often required for synthesizing microporous materials such as metal–organic frameworks(MOFs)can be reduced when solvent-less vapor-phase approaches are employed.This perspective covers several vacuum deposition processes,including initiated chemical vapor deposition(iCVD),initiated plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(iPECVD),solvent-less vapor deposition followed by in situ polymerization(SLIP),atomic layer deposition(ALD),and molecular layer deposition(MLD).These solvent-less vapor-phase methods are powerful in creating ultrathin selective layers for thin-film composite membranes and advantageous in conformally coating nanoscale pores for the precise modification of pore size and internal functionalities.The resulting membranes have shown promising performance for gas separation,nanofiltration,desalination,and water/oil separation.Further development of novel membrane materials and the scaling up of high-throughput reactors for solvent-less vapor-phase processes are necessary in order to make a real impact on the chemical industry in the future.
文摘Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) requires a process of grinding, mixing and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams into a polymer matrix that creates a high-strength fiber composite. In this situation, the specified waste or base raw materials used are the waste thermoplastics and different types of cellulosic waste including rice husk and saw dust. FRC is a high-performance fiber composite achieved and made possible through a proprietary molecular re-engineering process by interlinking cellulosic fiber molecules with resins in the FRC material matrix, resulting in a product of exceptional structural properties. In this feat of molecular re-engineering, selected physical and structural properties of wood are effectively cloned and obtained in the FRC component, in addition to other essential qualities in order to produce superior performance properties to conventional wood. The dynamic characteristics of composite structures are largely extracted from the reinforcing of fibres. The fiber, held in place by the matrix resin, contributes to tensile strength in a composite, enhancing the performance properties in the final part, such as strength and rigidity, while minimizing weight. The advantages of composite materials always beat down their disadvantages. In this analysis, we tried to find out FRC advance manufacturing, recycling technology and future perspective for mankind and next generation development. This research will bring a new horizon for future science with FRC technology and every aspect of modern science which will bring a stable dimensional stability by recycling process with minimizing waste for environment and next generation science.
文摘Built on artificial intelligence, digitalization, and information technologies, the ＂Third Industrial Revolution ＂＂ transforms large-scale assembly lines and flexible manufacturing system with fundamental modern manufacturing technologies and features personalized manufacturing, which is enabled by reconfigurable manufacturing system, and quick market response. It is a profound transformation of techno-economic paradigms, imbedded in the technology, management, and institutional systems. As this revolution deepens, it is likely that manufacturing and the manufacturing sector would acquire new definitions. In addition, the resource foundation and factor structure, which are central to the competitiveness of a nation and an enterprise, would perhaps be reconfigured, hence rewriting the landscape of global industrial competition. Under this scenario, the ＂smiling curve ＇＂ which used to portray the economic features of the value chain, may change into a ＂silence curve＂ or even ＂sadness curve ＂. The catching- up pathway of latecomer countries, as predicted by the traditional ＇flying geese model＂, is likely to be blocked, solidifying the division of＂core and periphery countries＂ which is unfavorable to developing countries. Industrial competition between countries would move from competition between enterprises and supply chains to competition in industrial ecosystems, matdng system adaptability and dynamics the key to long-term industrial competitiveness. As an effort to embrace the ＂Third Industrial Revolution＂ and meet the challenges brought by ＂multi-facets competition＂ with developed industrial nations in various links of value chain, in the future China should make appropriate adjustments in its strategies for economic transition and upgrading, global competition, technological innovation, industrial development and information technology.
