冲裁模CAD／CAM结构库之原型法

本文首先给出了一种新的2.5D 实体表示法,然后在此基础上提出了“原型”的概念。原型法的思想运用在结构库的管理中主要体现在它将模具结构与构成这种结构的零件之间的强联系变成弱联系,结构库面向的对象是一个具有整体性和可运算性的结构原型。这样的原型结构库基本上达到了通用性与开放性的要求。     

Merging Functional Form Feature into GT Codes to Enhance the CAD/CAM Integration

The TangShan Research Institute of Group Technology has been engaged in the develop-ment of GT for the light industry machinery building factories since 1980.Under its overall supervisionmore than 8 factories have applied GT to drawing control and process planning,while 4 of them reorga-nized their machine shops into GT cells and the throughput capabilities were raisd immediately by 15 toeven 49%.Since the existing GT coding systems predict only the global characteristics of machine parts,theirapplication alone is unable to transfer all the information needed for the CAD/CAM integration in aCIM environment.From the very beginning of 1989,we started to study the feasibility of introducingconcepts of Functional Form Features into GT codes.Based on the exhaustive study of nearly 100,000part drawings from machineries for making pottery and porcelain appliances,cigarette,paper pulp,glass bottles,plastics moulding,beer and beverage filling etc.,a new GT/FFF coding system wasworked out and a corresponding set of standard drawings assembled from FFF primitives Was formulat-ed which can cover up to 65—75% of existing parts from light industry machineries.FFF based GTcodes greatly facilitate the standardization control of released drawings,accelerate the engineering de-sign and process planning,and certainly will play an important role in the future CIM organization.

Innovation in construction: a sociology of technology approach

An alternative approach to understanding innovation is made using two intersecting ideas. The first is that successful innovation requires consideration of the social and organizational contexts in which it is located. The complex context of construction work is characterized by inter-organizational collaboration, a project-based approach and power distributed amongst collaborating organizations. The second is that innovations can be divided into two modes: 'bounded', where the implications of innovation are restricted within a single, coherent sphere of influence, and 'unbounded', where the effects of implementation spill over beyond this. Bounded innovations are adequately explained within the construction literature. However, less discussed are unbounded innovations, where many firms' collaboration is required for successful implementation, even though many innovations can be considered unbounded within construction's inter-organizational context. It is argued that unbounded innovations require an approach to understand and facilitate the interactions both within a range of actors and between the actors and technological artefacts. The insights from a sociology of technology approach can be applied to the multiplicity of negotiations and alignments that constitute the implementation of unbounded innovation. The utility of concepts from the sociology of technology, including 'system building' and 'heterogeneous engineering', is demonstrated by applying them to an empirical study of an unbounded innovation on a major construction project (the new terminal at Heathrow Airport, London, UK). This study suggests that 'system building' contains outcomes that are not only transformations of practices, processes and systems, but also the potential transformation of technologies themselves.     

剪切机的运动学分析

剪切机是工业生产中常用的设备，广泛应用于剪切各种材料。某厂使用的小型剪切机因生产需要将其改装成自动剪切设备，但理论上难以确定其最小剪切性能。笔者采用图解法对其进行运动和受力分析，得出在调速电机转速一定的情况下能够剪切的钢材直径，对生产使用具有较高的理论指导价值。

Towards real CAD

Present-day computer-aided design (CAD) packages play only a small part in the area of mechanical engineering design, which involves the synthesis and embodiment of physical components to perform a pre-determined function without unwanted side effects. The computer cannot properly help the designer in this task until it is able to capture and process the function requirements of the design. This paper describes the computer system being developed for this purpose at the Engineering Design Centre at Cambridge University Engineering Department. The paper also explores some of the geometrical and programming implications raised.
