This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
Concurrent engineering has been widely used in managing design projects to speed up the design process by concurrently performing multiple tasks. Since the progress of a design tas...
Maintaining an asset with life-limited parts, e.g., a jet engine or an electric generator, may be costly. Certain costs, e.g., setup cost, can be shared if some parts of the asset ...
