( EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. , 2009 , Article)Minimization of response times and costs and maximization of the efficiency and quality in producing a product are imperative for survival in the competitive manufacturing industry. Sheet metal forming is a widely used and ... -
Lean behavior in implementing lean process management
( INSInet Publication , 2009 , Article)Lean is one of the popular concept has been practiced in most company. However, there are a lot of companies who implement lean are not realized whether lean level of company is improve or relegate. Thus, it is important ... -
A comparative analysis of experimental and numerical investigations of composite tubes under axial and lateral loading
(2010 , Article)Quasi-static tests are performed in order to determine the crash behavior of composite tubes. The specimens are made from woven fiber carbon/epoxy. The crash experiments show that the tubes crushed in a progressive manner ... -
Identifying crack parameters in slow rotating machinery using vibration measurements and hybrid neuro-particle swarm technique
(2010 , Conference Paper)Low-cycle fatigue-initiated cracks may result in failure in slow-rotating equipments. Online monitoring to identify such fault/crack parameters, namely crack size and crack location, would be critical in providing an early ... -
Solving the inverse problem of crack identification using fuzzy genetic algorithms
(2010 , Conference Paper)Failure due to low-cycle fatigue initiated cracks in rotating equipment may result in catastrophic scenarios. It is, therefore, important to identify fault parameters, such as crack size and crack location, to avoid such ... -
