Abstract Micro tools/parts are attracting increasing attention due to the miniaturization evolutionary tendency in many fields, whose functionalities are critically determined by their materials and shapes [1- 5]. Sharp-edged ceramic microparticles have great prospects to be used as micromachining tools and micro components. However, it remains a huge challenge to fabricate nontransparent ceramic sharp-edged microparticles in a high-throughput way while taking their shape complexity, precision, and strength into account [6-8]. Herein, we present an online mixing and in-situ polymerization strategy: “one-pot microfluidic fabrication” along with two novel microfluidic device fabrication methods: “groove & tongue” and sliding More >

Abstract As computer graphics technology continues to advance, Collision Detection (CD) has emerged as a critical element in fields such as virtual reality, computer graphics, and interactive simulations. CD is indispensable for ensuring the fidelity of physical interactions and the realism of virtual environments, particularly within complex scenarios like virtual assembly, where both high precision and real-time responsiveness are imperative. Despite ongoing developments, current CD techniques often fall short in meeting these stringent requirements, resulting in inefficiencies and inaccuracies that impede the overall performance of virtual assembly systems. To address these limitations, this study introduces a… More >

Abstract This work investigates a multi-product parallel disassembly line balancing problem considering multi-skilled workers. A mathematical model for the parallel disassembly line is established to achieve maximized disassembly profit and minimized workstation cycle time. Based on a product’s AND/OR graph, matrices for task-skill, worker-skill, precedence relationships, and disassembly correlations are developed. A multi-objective discrete chemical reaction optimization algorithm is designed. To enhance solution diversity, improvements are made to four reactions: decomposition, synthesis, intermolecular ineffective collision, and wall invalid collision reaction, completing the evolution of molecular individuals. The established model and improved algorithm are applied to ball More >

Abstract Bio-based cyclodextrins (CDs) are a common research object in supramolecular chemistry. The special cavity structure of CDs can form supramolecular self-assemblies such as vesicles and microcrystals through weak interaction with guest molecules. The different forms of supramolecular self-assemblies can be transformed into each other under certain conditions. The regulation of supramolecular self-assembly is not only helpful to understand the self-assembly principle, but also beneficial to its application. In the present study, the self-assembly behavior of epoxy-β-cyclodextrin (EP-β-CD) and mixed anionic and cationic surfactant system (sodium dodecyl sulfate/dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, SDS/DTAB) in aqueous solution was studied. Morphological… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The dynamic balance assessment during the assembly of the coordinator gyroscope significantly impacts the guidance accuracy of precision-guided equipment. In dynamic balance debugging, reliance on rudimentary counterweight empirical formulas persists, resulting in suboptimal debugging accuracy and an increased repetition rate. To mitigate this challenge, we present a multi-head residual graph attention network (ResGAT) model, designed to predict dynamic balance counterweights with high precision. In this research, we employ graph neural networks for interaction feature extraction from assembly graph data. An SDAE-GPC model is designed for the assembly condition classification to derive graph data inputs for More >

Abstract As the take-off of China’s macro economy, as well as the rapid development of infrastructure construction, real estate industry, and highway logistics transportation industry, the demand for heavy vehicles is increasing rapidly, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the digital transformation of the production line is imminent. As one of the most important components of heavy vehicles, the transmission front and middle case assembly lines have a high degree of automation, which can be used as a pilot for the digital transformation of production. To ensure the visualization of digital twins (DT), consistent control More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract

The abuse of plastic food packaging has brought about severe white pollution issues around the world. Developing green and sustainable biomass packaging is an effective way to solve this problem. Hence, a chitosan/sodium alginate-based multilayer film is fabricated via a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly method. With the help of superior interaction between the layers, the multilayer film possesses excellent mechanical properties (with a tensile strength of 50 MPa). Besides, the film displays outstanding water retention property (blocking moisture of 97.56%) and ultraviolet blocking property. Anthocyanin is introduced into the film to detect the food quality since

Abstract Numerous clothing enterprises in the market have a relatively low efficiency of assembly line planning due to insufficient optimization of bottleneck stations. As a result, the production efficiency of the enterprise is not high, and the production organization is not up to expectations. Aiming at the problem of flexible process route planning in garment workshops, a multi-object genetic algorithm is proposed to solve the assembly line balance optimization problem and minimize the machine adjustment path. The encoding method adopts the object-oriented path representation method, and the initial population is generated by random topology sorting based… More >

Abstract Kinematic semantics is often an important content of a CAD model (it refers to a single part/solid model in this work) in many applications, but it is usually not the belonging of the model, especially for the one retrieved from a common database. Especially, the effective and automatic method to reconstruct the above information for a CAD model is still rare. To address this issue, this paper proposes a smart approach to identify each assembly interface on every CAD model since the assembly interface is the fundamental but key element of reconstructing kinematic semantics. First,… More >

Abstract With the rapid development of quantum computers capable of realizing Shor’s algorithm, existing public key-based algorithms face a significant security risk. Crystals-Kyber has been selected as the only key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) algorithm in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) competition. In this study, we present a portable and efficient implementation of a Crystals-Kyber post-quantum KEM based on WebAssembly (Wasm), a recently released portable execution framework for high-performance web applications. Until now, most Kyber implementations have been developed with native programming languages such as C and Assembly. Although there are… More >
