For this purpose, first, using a survey on the relevant literature, ten related factors were identified. Then, the opinions of 21 experts were collected, and by applying the ISM technique, the interactions between the ten identified factors were categorized and developed. Finally, the structural equation modeling technique developed the conceptual fit model. The findings indicated that ten identified factors are structured in six general levels. The results also represented a positive and significant relationship among 16 identified relationships in the conceptual model. Based on our findings, “information sharing” is identified as the primary factor of the model. A shorter lead time return factor was also identified at the highest level of the model.

A synergy of the high strength-to-weight ratio of the CFRP composites coupled with design freedoms inherent in AM techniques offers several interesting opportunities to customize and increase access to mechanical parts. However, several challenges are currently preventing the AM fabrication of the composites from realizing satisfactory mechanical properties compared to some of the traditional methods such as autoclave molding, extrusion molding, compression molding, etc. The challenges can be improved with a better understanding and appropriation of materials design factors that define the controllable material features which could be suitably varied to obtain desired mechanical performances.

Thermoplastic matrix compositions, chain arrangements, and structural morphology effects are discussed in relation to the ease of processing and the final mechanical performance of fabricated composites.

Modelling the process is a complicated task, because a wide range of different geometries are manufactured, and the pipes can possibly be cooled after rolling. To address this issue, two ANN models were designed, with one model consisting of two coupled ANNs to increase its accuracy. This also represents a novel modelling approach.

External cylindrical plunge grinding is considered the standard for the manufacturing of suitable shaft counterfaces. It creates a stochastic surface texture with many anisotropic groove-like grinding structures, oriented in the circumferential direction of the shaft. The structures are created by the grain engagement into the workpiece during the grinding process. This surface characteristic exhibits optimal properties for hydrodynamic lubrication between the seal and the shaft. Although there is no axial relative movement between grinding wheel and workpiece in plunge grinding, under unfavorable conditions grinding structures can be produced that deviate from the circumferential direction. These structures then transport fluid through the sealing during rotation. Structures, that cause fluid transportation because of inclined orientation to the circumferential direction, are referred to as micro lead. Especially for high rotational speeds, e.g. in electric powertrains, micro lead causes high pumping effects and therefore leakage and following failure of products.

In this approach, association rule mining is adapted to continuous processes for producing highly interpretable results in the form of association rules that represent the main causes for failures. The methodology includes data preparation, modelling of production states and the evaluation of root causes using an associative classification algorithm.
