The precision and functionality of an assembly heavily depend on the dimensions of its components, which can often lead to quality issues. However, increasing precision can be expensive and impractical. Alternative methods, ...

Strong correlation between boundary layer excitation and hydrofoil eigenmode occurs for specific angles of attack and Reynolds numbers, resulting in strong tonal noise emissions under certain circumstances. This study aims ...

In manufacturing companies, assembly is an essential process to obtain the final product. The life cycle of an assembly product depends on various production strategies, e.g., resource allocation, rework decision, selection ...

This chapter provides a non-exhaustive picture of the opportunities, experiences and transformations that have taken place over the last 10 years. Many of these have been, and increasingly will be, supported by the emergence ...
