Abstract—A fast offset surface generation approach is presented in this paper to construct intersection-free offset surfaces, which preserve sharp features, from freeform triangu...
—This paper proposes a general scheduling model that extends job-shop scheduling models to incorporate important features of real manufacturing systems. More precisely, each oper...
—In this paper, we present a new sketch-based system — KnitSketch, to improve the efficiency of process planning for knitting garments at an early design stage. The KnitSketch...
—This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The un...
: This paper addresses the dynamic pricing problem of a single-item, make-to-stock production system. Demand arrives according to Poisson processes with changeable arrival rate dep...
—For multiclass flow line models, we identify a class of service times that allow a decomposition of the system into subsets of servers called channels. In each channel, the cus...
— Surface flattening has numerous applications in sheet manufacturing industries, such as garment industry, shoe industry, toy industry, furniture industry and ship industry. Mo...
