The development of numerical simulations for metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes to predict distortion and residual stress is considered a strategic tool for supporting the industrialization of AM. However, the complexity of these analyses, due to the intricacies of thermal cycles, demands substantial computational resources and a deep understanding of the key process variables to achieve accurate models. This study aims to evaluate the influence of thermal parameters on the results of thermomechanical simulations using the Inherent Strain Method (ISM). Specifically, the analysis investigates the effects of estimated peak temperatures on thermal analyses, distortion, equivalent stress, and microstructure volume fraction in maraging 300 steel (MS300) parts simulated via finite elements. The results indicate that varying the peak temperature of the models causes a linear change in the thermal simulation output, referred to as the exposed energy fraction (EEF) in the Simufact Additive software, which determines the thermal history of the process in fabricated geometry. However, the distortion behavior—by the mechanical analyses that used the EEF as input—deviated from this linearity across specific regions, emphasizing the need for localized accuracy assessment within complex geometries. Equivalent stress decreased with lower peak temperatures, highlighting a correlation between these factors, while the microstructure volume fraction remained unchanged across different peak temperatures. The simulation results were validated by comparing the simulated measurements with experimental data of the same geometry manufactured via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Displacement in the simulation was assessed by comparing the diameters of the front and back faces, as well as through surface deviation analysis, which highlighted variations between the scanned experimental geometry and the simulated part. Additionally, the microstructure of the experimental part was examine

Unbalanced mechanical systems are always of great concern to engineers because of, the implications on the reliability of the systems. This paper presents two approaches to handling the problem in mechanical systems equipped with electrical motors driven by variable speed drivers. The two methods are able to verify the imbalance of the system based on the cyclic load factor (CLF) and on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), both using the torque signal obtained from the drive. Algorithms were developed to obtain the necessary parameters from the drive and then converted into ladder programs able to be embedded in the drivers so that real time balancing control can be achieved. Experimental results demonstrate the possibility of assisting the balancing of mechanical systems based on the developed algorithms. Among the advantages of maintaining a balanced system using the present approach is preventing equipment wear, increasing the useful life and reducing maintenance costs.

The new requirements of modern real-time distributed supervision and control systems such as more flexibility, interoperability, and cost savings, have motivated the use of software-intensive solutions both in academia and industry. Following this trend we have presented, in a previous publication, the design rationale and implementation issues of a flexible and reusable software platform (ARCOS) that relies on the CORBA component model (CCM/CIAO), the DAIS (data acquisition from industrial systems) standard, and framework technologies. This paper builds on this previous publication by presenting a new assembly tool that allows for the visual component-based implementation of ARCOS-based systems and the automatic generation of the related CCM/CIAO/ARCOS artifacts. To demonstrate the power of such a tool, two example applications are presented.
