    A Matrix Manipulation Approach to Graph-Based Feature Extraction in Wooden Beam Machining

    by Shu-Ting Chang and Alan C. Lin

    Abstract

    n the woodworking beam processing industry, engineers typically rely on CAM software to generate machining codes, which are then executed by NC machines equipped with automated feeding systems. This paper introduces a matrix manipulation approach for the automated extraction of both standard and intersecting features in wooden beam machining, enabling 3D CAD models to be seamlessly transformed into complete toolpaths. The proposed system analyzes the topological and geometric properties of solid...

    Trajectory Planning Based Precise Positioning Control of an X-Y Platform

    by Haris Khan , Hsiu-Ming Wu and Chung-Wei Chen

    Abstract

    The study aims to attain precise positioning control of an X-Y platform. Here, square and circular motion trajectories with a trapezoidal velocity profile are planned. Subsequently, decentralized PID controllers are designed to track the predefined reference trajectories. The corresponding experiments are conducted to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control scheme. In terms of the experimental results, the average positioning error is smaller than 0.0164 mm in the squa...

    Performance Improvement for a Diesel Engine Combined with a Methanol and Aqueous Urea Reformer Through Exhaust Gas Recirculation

    by Horng-Wen Wu , Zhi-Wei Guo , Chung-Yuan Wu , Wei-Cheng Chiu and Dhinesh Balasubramanian

    Abstract

    This study establishes an exhaust gas recirculation device in a diesel engine and integrate a reformation system of methanol blended with aqueous urea. Modifying the diesel engine's intake inducts hydrogen-rich gas into the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for testing and investigating how inducting hydrogen-rich gas influences the engine's exhaust emissions. The results are as follows. The engine exhaust outlet and intake have integrated the EGR system with the methanol and aqueous urea reformat...

    Study on the Meshing Impacts of Gear and Rack Systems of Pumping Machines by SPH-FEM Coupling Method

    by Xing-Jia Tang , Mutellip Ahmat and Fan-Kai Di

    Abstract

    This paper aims to explore the adaptability of the SPH-FEM coupling method in simulating gear and rack meshing impacts. Taking the gears and racks of a pumping unit as the research object, the adaptive SPH-FEM coupling method is used to simulate gear and rack meshing impacts. This provides a new approach for studying the impact of gear mechanisms that may involve structural damage. The propagation law of the impact stress is obtained, which reveals the microscopic mechanism of formation of the t...

    Research on Optimization of Injection Mould Process Parameters Based on The Upper Bracket of Automobile Front-End Frame

    by Zhendong Zhang , Shanshan Peng and Hu Wu

    Abstract

    Aiming at the injection mould process parame-ter optimization methods are relatively few, and there is no combination of multiple multi-objective optimi¬zation methods to carry out optimization research. In this paper, the gating system of the upper bracket of automobile front-end frame is designed, and the flow channel system of the upper bracket of automobile front-end frame is simulated. The orthogonal experi¬ment of the upper bracket of automobile front-end frame is designed. The multi-objec...
