... and tools, etc.) in addition to those at the system level (i.e., addition or removal of machines). This model considers the functional synthesis of manufacturing systems, based on co-platforming, at the machine level and system level. This objective is achieved by using a mixed integer linear programing...

...Pouya Tavousi; Kazem Kazerounian; Horea Ilies The synthesis of functional molecular linkages is constrained by difficulties in fabricating nanolinks of arbitrary shapes and sizes. Thus, classical mechanism synthesis methods, which assume the ability to manufacture any designed links, cannot provide...
