Effect Of Ultra-High Pulse Frequency On The Resolution In The Electrochemical Deposition Of Nickel, Abishek Balsamy Kamaraj, Natalie Reed, Murali Sundaram
Effect Of Ultra-High Pulse Frequency On The Resolution In The Electrochemical Deposition Of Nickel, Abishek Balsamy Kamaraj, Natalie Reed, Murali Sundaram
Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering Presentations And Conference Materials
Using localized electrochemical deposition (LECD) as a mask-less direct writing methodology, metal shapes are printed. The electrochemical double-layer capacitance at ultra-high frequencies is hypothesized to cause a localized deposition and the effect of pulse frequency on the current density is modeled to predict the deposition resolution and rate of deposition. Experimental results confirm that the deposition resolution and efficiency of the LECD process increase with the increase of pulse frequency. Deposition resolution 80% smaller than the tool diameter is feasible in the LECD of nickel used with a ø 250 μm tool at 1 MHz pulsed power.

Computational models and simulations often involve representations of decision-making processes. Numerous methods exist for representing decision-making at varied resolution levels based on the objectives of the simulation and the desired level of fidelity for validation. Decision making relies on the type of decision and the criteria that is appropriate for making the decision; therefore, decision makers can reach unique decisions that meet their own needs given the same information. Accounting for personalized weighting scales can help to reflect a more realistic state for a modeled system. To this end, this article reviews and summarizes eight multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) techniques …

Balancing Trade-Offs In One-Stage Production With Processing Time Uncertainty, Jingjing You
Balancing Trade-Offs In One-Stage Production With Processing Time Uncertainty, Jingjing You
Theses and Dissertations--Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Stochastic production scheduling faces three challenges, first the inconsistencies among key performance indicators (KPIs), second the trade-offs between the expected return and the risk for a portfolio of KPIs, and third the uncertainty in processing times. Based on two inconsistent KPIs of total completion time (TCT) and variance of completion times (VCT), we propose our trade-off balancing (ToB) heuristic for one-stage production scheduling. Through comprehensive case studies, we show that our ToB heuristic with preference =0.0:0.1:1.0 efficiently and effectively addresses the three challenges. Moreover, our trade-off balancing scheme can be generalized to balance a number of …
