This study introduces an integrated framework combining Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) to optimize quality in multi-component product assemblies. The novelty of this work lies in its closed-loop structure: ANN is used to...
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a widely used additive manufacturing (AM) technology, favored for its design flexibility and suitability for low-volume production. However, precise cost estimation remains a critical challenge, particularly in indu...
Copper is a critical material for energy transition and green technologies, making its sustainable use increasingly important. Its superior thermal and electrical conductivity make it highly well-suited for additive manufacturing (AM). In this study,...
The unique cutting–burnishing coupling effect in BTA deep hole drilling generates a high-hardness and -brittleness white layer (ultrafine martensitic layer), which will degrade component performance and accelerate tool wear. This work investiga...
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is widely used in orthopedic and prosthetic applications due to its excellent wear resistance and biocompatibility. However, its high molecular weight presents significant challenges in terms of proce...
In this study, the maximum achievable weldable thickness in spot welding with pinless tools was investigated by welding multiple stacks of 1 mm thick high-strength steel HC420LA. This approach allowed for the evaluation of heat dissipation during the...
To increase wear resistance, (Zr,Nb)N, ZrN and (Zr,Hf)N coatings with columnar structures and (Zr,Ti)N and (Zr,Nb,Hf)N coatings with nanolayer structures were deposited on an AISI 321 stainless steel substrate. The samples with (Zr,Nb)N and ZrN coati...
Polymer matrix composites have been used extensively in the aerospace and automotive industries. Nevertheless, the growing demand for composites raises concerns about the thermal stability, cost, and environmental impacts of synthetic fillers like gr...
This study investigates multi-objective optimization of end-milling parameters for AISI D2 cold-worked tool steel using GC1130-coated carbide inserts under wet machining, focusing on cutting speed and feed rate per tooth values beyond manufacturer re...
Microfluidic device prototyping demands rapid, cost-effective, and high-precision mould fabrication, yet ultrashort pulsed laser structuring of polymer inserts remains underexplored. This study presents a novel method for fabricating microfluidic mou...
