Efficient Branching Rules for Optimizing Range and Order-Based Objective Functions

1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States

  We consider range minimization problems featuring exponentially many variables, as frequently arising in fairness-oriented or bi-objective optimization. While branch and price is successful at solving cost-oriented problems with many...

Precision 3D/4D Printing: Methodology Development and Experimental Validations

1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States

  Additive Manufacturing (AM) has transformed the way we design, prototype, and produce complex parts with unprecedented geometries. However, inherent process challenges lead to unsatisfactory 3D dimensional accuracy, functional part quality, and process stability. Advancements in contactless 3D scanning technology enable the in-situ 3D profiling of printed parts. These sensing capabilities can be utilized to...

Moving Toward Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing

1163 Mechanical Engineering 1513 Engineering Dr., Madison, WI, United States

  Manufacturing processes, such as stamping, forging, and rolling rely heavily on process simulation and in-situ correction to produce high volume of complex parts. Incremental sheet forming and additive manufacturing (AM) processes are used to make small volume of specialty products. AM processes rely heavily on CAD models for process design and closed loop control...
