Scalable framework for blockchain-based shared manufacturing

Shared Manufacturing is a new mode of social manufacturing based on the principles of a sharing economy. This paper presents a scalable framework for blockchain-based Shared Manufacturing that preserves the transparency and immutability characteristics of transaction records, which is critical to building trust between entities in blockchain-based systems. We define a blockchain-based protocol for the service execution according to the design principles of the sharing economy. We present a scalable integration of blockchain technology into the concept of Shared Manufacturing by employing cross-chain solutions. We discuss existing cross chain technologies regarding the requirements of Shared Manufacturing and propose hybrid approach. We compare implementations of the proposed framework on two different blockchain networks: Ethereum public network and Xdai sidechain network. We conduct user-oriented test to explore the performance (cost and time) of the implementations in realistic situations in order to justify the use of the sidechain technology. Results indicate that the implementation on the sidechains provides greater scalability than the implementation on the public blockchain network.     

A Polynomial Algorithm for Computing Elementary Siphons in a Class of Petri Nets

A set of elementary siphons plays a key role in the development of deadlock prevention policies for automated manufacturing systems. This paper addresses the computation problem for elementary siphons in a subclass of Petri nets which are basic systems of simple sequential processes with resources (BS³PR) and can model many automated manufacturing systems. An algorithm for enumerating elementary siphons is established by the one‐to‐one relationship between maximal perfect resource‐transition circuits (MPCs) and strict minimal siphons. A set of MPCs is first computed, followed by a set of elementary siphons in a BS³PR. The presented algorithm is proved to have polynomial‐time complexity. An example is used to illustrate the algorithm.     

Group technology based adaptive cell formation using predator-prey genetic algorithm

In recent years, there has been a considerable growth of application of group technology in cellular manufacturing. This has led to investigation of the primary cell formation problem (CFP), both in classical and soft-computing domain. Compared to more well-known and analytical techniques like mathematical programming which have been used rigorously to solve CFPs, heuristic approaches have yet gained the same level of acceptance. In the last decade we have seen some fruitful attempts to use evolutionary techniques like genetic algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization to find solutions of the CFP. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of a fine grain variant of the predator-prey GA (PPGA) in CFPs. The algorithm has been adapted to emphasize local selection strategy and to maintain a reasonable balance between prey and predator population, while avoiding premature convergence. The results show that the algorithm is competitive in identifying machine-part clusters from the initial CFP matrix with significantly less number of iterations. The algorithm scaled efficiently for large size problems with competitive performance. Optimal cluster identification is then followed by removal of the bottleneck elements to give a final solution with minimum inter-cluster transition cost. The results give considerable impetus to study similar NP-complete combinatorial problems using fine-grain GAs in future.

针对氢化脱氢钛合金粉末氧含量较高的问题，研究了添加稀土钕对激光快速成形TC4合金组织及性能的影响。结果发现，添加稀土Nd后，激光快速成形TC4合金的宏观晶粒尺寸变化不大；但随稀土添加量的增加，初始β列状晶逐渐转化为全β等轴晶，晶粒内部的魏氏α组织逐渐转变为网篮α，粗化α条不断增多，呈现团束聚集趋势，晶界α集束体积分数也不断增大；随稀土添加量的增加，激光快速成形TC4合金的室温塑性先大幅度提高，然后急剧降低；稀土添加量为0．1％～0．2％（质量分数，下同）时，氧含量为0．26％的氢化脱氢TC4合金粉末激光快速成形件沉积态的抗拉强度达975MPa，延伸率9．5％，满足锻件标准要求。
