Designing an Innovative Face-Milling Cutter

The paper consists in a research in the design of an innovative face-milling cutter, in terms of product lifecycle management (PLM), with the help from creative design methods, such as TRIZ. The model of the lifecycle management of the cutting tools was presented, emphasizing the functional analysis and creative design phase. Based on this analysis, a new constructive variant of the milling cutter was designed and simulated with finite element method, highlighting its advantages compared with classic construction variants.

Systemic analysis of the caulking assembly process

The present paper highlights the importance of a caulking process which is nowadays less studied in comparison with the growing of its usage in the automotive industry. Due to the fact that the caulking operation is used in domains with high importance such as shock absorbers and brake systems there comes the demand of this paper to detail the parameters which characterize the process, viewed as input data and output data, and the requirements asked for the final product. The paper presents the actual measurement methods used for analysis the performance of the caulking assembly. All this parameters leads to an analysis algorithm of performance established for the caulking process which it …

Computer Simulation Paradigm Regarding the Structure and Mechanical Characteristics of Human Long Bones

Given the complex form of the long bones, a quality method of geometrical modeling which provides a good result is that of the 3D modeling by reconstruction, using the principles of reverse engineering. One of the important problems that shall be taken into consideration while modeling is the one concerning the real structure of the bones. This aspect presents a lot of importance because from the point of view of the mechanical behavior, the bones are neither homogenate structures. In this paper a study of the long bones structures is undergone, and in relation to the modelated element (the human tibia) it is divided in areas (called constructive-anatomical entities) of different mechanical…

Augmented Reality Applied in Machining Processes and Cutting Tools Management

This paper describes the benefit obtained from implementing a cutting tool management system. Also, a state of the art on tool management systems available on the market is presented. By analysing the drawbacks generated by the implementation of such a system, we are providing a cheap and practical solution: an Augmented Reality aided machining and tool management system. Using augmented reality we managed to improve the tool management systems by providing, at the scene of action, all the necessary tool information in a much more user friendly way.

A Conceptual Model of Product Design

The paper presents a conceptual model that pursues the understanding of the activities, the phases and the mechanisms of product design. The purpose of this model is to aid the product conception phase, as well as to develop software products that can furthermore aid design. The model takes into account the entire mental potential of the human being. The paper uses Jung's model in order to describe the various aspects of the human psyche. The paper presents a number of design models from the scientific literature. The proposed model defines domains of the needs imposed by stakeholders and specialists, functions domains and product domains. It explains the mechanism through which information…

Formwork application optimization by using augmented reality

By using the PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) principle on the formwork case study, after determining the functions and the technical solutions, the application must be made as optimum as possible in order to assure productivity and provide the necessary information as quick as possible. The concept is to create a complex management for the formwork based on augmented reality. By taking into account the development rate of the information, augmented reality is tending to be one of the widest (in term of domain) visualization instrument. Also used in the construction domain, augmented reality can be applied also for the case of formwork design and management. The application of the solutio…

Study on New Product Development, by Networking

The paper presents a situation of working in network in order to design or improve a new product. To implement theoretical models and to validate a working algorithm into a virtual research, there was proposed a specific theme from drilling and chamfering tool. The facilities offered by the research centers – database, software - led to rapid selection and configuration solutions, demonstrating achieving research productivity growth and a substantial reduction of times redesign.

Designing a Specialized Devices for Correction of the Axis Deviation at the Human Leg

The presented article is an original contribution which implies the design of a specialized device for high tybial osteotomy (HTO) optimization. In the papers are presented the sources that imply HTO, the axial deviations of the human lower member from the correct position. This sources are the gonarthosys owed to the usage of the knees cartilages or owed to some diseases (such as the Blount disease) and the vicious consolidated fractures. After presenting the needs to realize such a specialized device for HTO, the principal requests the device shall fulfill are underlined. Starting from these , two sub ensembles were projected, one for the tibial positioning and for the execution of the ho…

Experimental Study of Vibrations in Face Milling Cutting

The paper consists of a research in designing and experimental analysis using a face milling cutter with round inserts. A general model for the new cutter is proposed taking into consideration multiple aspects regarding monitoring and controling the milling process. A comparison of measured vibrations when cutting with different parameters for two constructions of the milling head is presented. The objective of this vibration comparison is to verify wether the new design behaves in similar way with the classic and proven concept of insert clamping using a central screw.
