Nowadays, the production time is a key to minimize the process sequence which leads to lower the whole product cost. One of the leadtimes is the installation of the forming dies to the press. There are many methodologies having been developed to solve this problem, such as a Single Minute Exchange Die System (SMED) which could minimize the setting up die to almost 25-30 percent. However, this system would not consider the minimization of the forming process or sequence. Most of the automotive industries would lighten this problem by centralizing common parts which could be utilized with the same component dimension. This part could be used in different car models. However, this technique could only reduce the time in development of the forming processes/dies, but the number of the forming dies is still remain unchanged. Therefore, in this research the geometrical based methodology integrated with Finite Element Modeling would be proposed to develop generalized common dies which could be used with the same part configurations/shapes but difference in dimensions at some areas. This technique is applied and validated with different pulley models. The results show that almost 60 percent of the forming dies would be reduced by this technique.
The need for improved functionalities is driving the search for more complicated multi-component materials. Despite the factorially increasing composition space, ordered compounds with 4 or more species are rare. Here...

This Work In Progress (WIP), Research to Practice Category paper, addresses a new approach to teaching concepts within introductory statics for undergraduate engineering students using a low-resolution-preto/prototyping makerspace. As the benefits of physical modeling and communities of practice have been increasingly documented, makerspaces have sprung up across numerous college and university campuses. Although makerspaces vary between institutions, they generally have resources that provide users the opportunity to perform hands-on design and obtain build experience. These facilities also bring people of different disciplines together, encouraging the sharing of perspectives and fostering collaboration among users. Literature pertaining to makerspaces shows that enhanced learning occurs within students who utilize these spaces. The new approach was pilot tested in the fall 2018 semester. In this math and physics-intensive sophomore-level course, the instructional goals in utilizing the makerspace included an enhanced understanding of the physical significance and application of core course concepts. The main course concept demonstrated was planar truss design, as pursued through the physical construction and testing of balsa wood bridges. Students were asked to design, build, and test a bridge prototype in a hands-on fashion using the makerspace. A second section of the course taught by the same instructor did not utilize the makerspace to build and test a prototype; instead, the students designed and analyzed a bridge prototype using 3D modeling and finite element analysis software, enabling a comparison. An assessment plan was developed that included the gathering of both student-perspectives, as well as direct performance data, including students' performance on the bridge prototyping project. Via survey, students were asked, prior to and after completing the bridge project, their perspectives about the makerspace, and if the makerspace enhanced their understa
