ASME Journal of Computing and Information Science in Engineering (JCISE)

June 14, 2013
Author(s)
Vijay Srinivasan
For over a decade this journal has supported and advanced the research and applications at the intersection of information science and mechanical engineering. In that process it has established itself as a premier outlet for cutting edge research in the

CHARACTERIZING ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS

June 14, 2013
Author(s)
Jatinder Madan, Mahesh Mani, Kevin W. Lyons
Presently available systems for sustainability assessment do not fully account for aspects related to a product’s manufacturing. In an effort to make more sustainable decisions, today’s industry seeks reliable methods to assess and compare sustainability

Inferring Intention Through State Representations in Cooperative Human-Robot Environments

June 7, 2013
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Anthony Pietromartire, Zeid Kootbally, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Thomas R. Kramer, Sebti Foufou
In this paper, we describe a novel approach for inferring intention during cooperative human-robot activities through the representation and ordering of state information. State relationships are represented by a combination of spatial relationships in a

Development of a Methodology to Determine Risk of Counterfeit Use

June 5, 2013
Author(s)
Mark Schaffer, Yaw S. Obeng
Counterfeit components have become a multi-million dollar, yet undesirable, part of the electronics industry. The profitability of the counterfeit industry rests in large part on its ability to recognize supply constraints and quickly respond, effectively

High Accuracy Measurements Using a Scanning System with a Single Point Triangulation Sensor

May 13, 2013
Author(s)
Theodore D. Doiron, Wei Ren, Eric S. Stanfield, Balasubramanian Muralikrishnan, Christopher J. Blackburn
The capabilities of non-contact laser spot triangulation sensors for high accuracy measurements have slowly increased over the past decade, and now have usable resolution below 0.1 µm. The Dimensional Metrology Group has developed a simple scanning system

CMSD - A Manufacturing Simulation Integration Standard: Overview and Case Studies

May 10, 2013
Author(s)
Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Frank H. Riddick, Bjoern J. Johansson
Standard representations for information entities common to manufacturing simulation could help reduce the costs associated with simulation model construction and data exchange between simulation and other manufacturing applications. This would make

Categorization of Indicators for Sustainable Manufacturing

May 9, 2013
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Che B. Joung, Prabir Sarkar, John Carrell
Manufacturers around the globe have become aware of the importance of sustainable manufacturing. They are increasing their efforts to become more sustainable by using sustainability-related indicators to assess their performance; however, in these efforts

Writing Guidelines for Requests for Proposals for Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems

April 25, 2013
Author(s)
Susan M. Ballou, Michael Garris, Anthony Clay, Joi Dickerson, Peter T. Higgins, Janet Hoin, Lisa Jackson, Mike Lesko, Joe Morrissey, Leo Norton, Beth Owens, Joe Polski, Melissa Taylor
This is one of a series of documents prepared by the Latent Print Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) Interoperability Working Group. The purpose of these documents is to provide guidance and a framework to those involved in the

Disassembly Process Information Model for Remanufacturing

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Shaw C. Feng, Hanmin Lee, Thomas R. Kramer, Che B. Joung, Parisa Ghodous, Ram D. Sriram
The disassembly process is an essential activity performed on out-of-service products for remanufacturing. A disassembly process includes many subprocesses, such as separation, cleaning, repair, replacement, and inspection. The main purpose of performing

Engineering Change Management Concepts for Systems Modeling

April 22, 2013
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, Allison Barnard Feeney
A significant cost of manufactured systems arises in changing system specifications after they have been built and delivered to customers. This might be due to errors in the original specifications, feedback from customers, competition from other producers

Sustainability through Lifecycle Synthesis of Material Information

April 19, 2013
Author(s)
Paul W. Witherell, Katherine C. Morris, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, Jae H. Lee, Sudarsan Rachuri
The synthesis of material information across lifecycle stages will lay the foundation for a material information model to support sustainable decision making. This paper explores how material information is represented in select standards that address

A Sensor Ontology Literature Review

April 18, 2013
Author(s)
Roger D. Eastman, Craig I. Schlenoff, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Tsai H. Hong
The purpose of this paper is to review existing sensor and sensor network ontologies to understand whether they can be reused as a basis for a manufacturing sensor ontology, or if the existing ontologies hold lessons for the development of a new ontology

Determining Mechanical Reliability of Brittle Materials

April 18, 2013
Author(s)
Stephen W. Freiman, Jeffrey Fong
The widespread existence of slow crack growth in most glasses and ceramics due to a stress-enhanced reaction between an external environment and strained bonds at a crack tip greatly complicates the challenge of assuring the reliability of components which

Modeling and Simulation for Improving Ambulance Patient Compartment Design Standards

April 12, 2013
Author(s)
Deogratias Kibira, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Allison Barnard Feeney, Jennifer L. Marshall, Larry Avery, Jennifer Moore, Carlotta Boone
Emergency medical service providers riding in ambulance patient compartments, while caring for patients, are at high risk of suffering injuries in case of a crash or sudden maneuver. Seat belts are one way to reduce the occurrence and severity of injuries

Block-copolymer healing of simple defects in a chemoepitaxial template

April 11, 2013
Author(s)
Paul N. Patrone, Gregg M. Gallatin
Using a phase-field model of block copolymers (BCPs), we characterize how a chemoepitaxial template with parallel lines of arbitrary width affects the BCP microdomain shape. The model, which is an extension of the Leibler-Ohta-Kawasaki theory, accounts for

Performance Metrics of Speed and Separation Monitoring in Shared Workspaces

April 1, 2013
Author(s)
Jeremy A. Marvel
A metric is proposed that evaluates speed and separation monitoring efficacy in industrial robot environments in terms of the quantification of safety and the effects on productivity. The collision potential is rep-resented by separation metrics and sensor
