Prevention of defects can reduce waste and aid lean strategies such as right first time manufacture. The prediction of defects leads to prevention; however accurate prediction requires a high understanding of the domain and mechanics of each defect. For a prediction simulation to adapt to a manufacturing line's conditions requires timely information about the products being manufactured. In this paper,...
With sensors and sensor circuits becoming increasingly smaller there is the possibility of embedding such systems within products to monitor their handling and operation during the whole life cycle. The manufacturing stage of the life cycle is seen as an important stage to monitor as the defects during operation can often be attributed to manufacturing faults. The assembly of high value printed circuit...
A finite element (FE) model of a tennis racket was created to aid in the design and development of new rackets by allowing engineers to analyse the mechanical properties of the frames without making physical prototypes. This approach saves both time and money but only if the model is an accurate representation of the manufactured racket. The FE model, therefore, needed to be validated. This paper...
