Energy consumption in machining contributes a significant part of manufacturing cost and
produces a great environmental impact. This paper provides a critical assessment on energy …

Optimizing the energy efficiency of processes has become a priority in the manufacturing
sector; driven by soaring energy costs and the environmental impact caused by high energy …

The last decade has seen a considerable growth in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for
operations management with the aim of finding solutions to problems that are increasing in …

Heating of a cutting tool during the processing detail on CNC machine cause thermal
deformations which reduce the quality of the machined surfaces. The authors propose to use …

Real-time optimization of machining processes for aerospace structural components is
imperative due to the difficult-to-cut materials and complex structures. Effective feed rate …

Increasing demands for flexibility and fast reactions in modern process operation and
production methods result in nonlinear system behaviour of partly unknown systems, and …

Inappropriate machining conditions such as cutting forces cause tool failures, poor surface
quality and worst of all machine breakdowns. This may be avoided by using optimal …

Due to failure, partial failure, or maintenance, the capacity of each machine is multi-state.
Therefore, the limited relationship between the capacity of each machine and the input raw …

The past decades of most industrial machines were replaced by the use of improved
machines like Computerized Numerical Controlled (CNC) machines and proved to be …

The use of adaptive feed rates shortens machining time and increases the potential of
efficient machining. Currently, feed rates in an numerically controlled (NC) program are pre …
