Feature-based product modeling is the leading approach for the integrated representation of
engineering product data. On the one side, this approach has stimulated the development of …

Product development requires sharing information of a diverse nature between several
actors. Since the new products resulting from this process often require assembly as part of …

Skin cancer has become a public health problem due to its increasing incidence. However,
the malignancy risk of the lesions can be reduced if diagnosed at an early stage. To do so, it …

This paper describes a general methodology in Design for Environment (DFE), and a part of
our research with a specific application using entropy minimisation. The entropy evaluation …

The important issue of mechanical assemblies has been a subject of intense research over
the past several years. Most electromechanical products are assemblies of several …

For the last couple of decades, information and communication technologies have been
increasingly used to support the decision making in manufacturing organizations. However …

In this research, we effectively integrate the downstream activities of the design process and
present a product model representation. Using an extended definition of feature, the product …

The early stages of product design are critical for incorporating manufacturing perspectives.
Recognizing the significance of assembly in discrete product manufacturing, the study …

Computer-aided process planning (CAPP) plays a vital role in manufacturing of a product by
computer-aided techniques. Auto-recognition of a surface's volumetric features and …

This paper describes the use of liaison to better integrate product model and assembly
process model so as to enable sharing of design and assembly process information in a …
