    Abstract: In this work, tools such as SolidWorks CAD, SolidWorks Simulation was used in the course of the design of a bottled water handle. This approach provided a less tedious process to its manual counterpart. Every progression of design was assessed and interpreted in detail in this paper. The primary goal of increasing the torsional rigidity and stiffne... Show More

    Abstract: This paper considers a tool switching problem (ToSP) in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). Indeed, a new version of the ToSP that may be faced in practice is proposed. In this paper, a tool life is considered for each tool and a new formulation of the ToSP is presented, however, because of the complexity of such an NP-hard problem, the exact me... Show More

    Abstract: Studies are made on the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process performance parameters such as material removal rate, kerf and surface roughness of Incoloy®Alloy800 following the Taguchi’s design of experiments. ANOVA is performed to trace the statistically significance of input parameter (viz. gap voltage, pulse-on-time, pulse-off-time ... Show More
