This paper presents an intelligent process planning system using STEP features (ST-FeatCAPP) for prismatic parts. The system maps a STEP AP224 XML data file, without using a complex feature recognition process, and produces the corresponding machining operations to generate the process plan and corresponding STEP-NC in XML format. It carries out several stages of process planning such as operations selection, tool selection, machining parameters determination, machine tools selection and setup planning. A hybrid approach of most recent techniques ( neural networks, fuzzy logic and rule-based) of artificial intelligence is used as the inference engine of the developed system. An object-oriented approach is used in the definition and implementation of the system. An example part is tested and the corresponding process plan is presented to demonstrate and verify the proposed CAPP system. The paper thus suggests a new feature-based intelligent CAPP system for avoiding complex feature recognition and knowledge acquisition problems.

Integrating flexible process plans with scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems Saygin, C; Kilic, SE (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1999-01-01) This paper highlights the importance of integration between process planning and scheduling in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). An effective integration increases the potential for enhanced system performance and enhanced decision making. A framework that integrates flexible process plans with off-line (predictive) scheduling in FMS is presented The flexibility in process planning, including process flexibility, sequence flexibility, and alternative machine tools, is discussed. The proposed framework c...
A fractal conductivity-based approach to mobile sensor networks in a potential field Sedat, Nazlibilek; Aydan, Erkmen (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-01) This paper presents the design of multi-robots or multiple mobile sensors and gives the results of the team behavior of them in a potential field in a collaborative manner. The aim is to prove the concept of the fractal conductivity-based approach to mobile sensor networks in a potential field. We attempted to create multi-robots having similar inherent nature, similar background knowledge, and the same mission as relevant bodies, the creation of some sort of attraction force between them is achieved with t...
A novel command generation paradigm for production machine systems Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01) This paper presents a new command generation technique titled VEPRO for computer controlled production machinery. In this method, the tool trajectory is described by a high-level scripting language that enables parametric representations of complex work-piece geometries. The interpreted script is then employed to generate the interpolation data required to compute a tool trajectory that is subjected to a number of kinematic constraints. A real-time interpolator is employed to provide the position commands r...
Discrete size optimization of steel trusses using a refined big bang-big crunch algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02) This article presents a methodology that provides a method for design optimization of steel truss structures based on a refined big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm. It is shown that a standard formulation of the BB-BC algorithm occasionally falls short of producing acceptable solutions to problems from discrete size optimum design of steel trusses. A reformulation of the algorithm is proposed and implemented for design optimization of various discrete truss structures according to American Institute of St...
A new modal superposition method for nonlinear vibration analysis of structures using hybrid mode shapes Ferhatoglu, Erhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2018-07-01) In this paper, a new modal superposition method based on a hybrid mode shape concept is developed for the determination of steady state vibration response of nonlinear structures. The method is developed specifically for systems having nonlinearities where the stiffness of the system may take different limiting values. Stiffness variation of these nonlinear systems enables one to define different linear systems corresponding to each value of the limiting equivalent stiffness. Moreover, the response of the n...
