The business world is continually changing. Dynamic environments, full of uncertainties,
complexities, and ambiguities, demand faster and more confident decisions. To compete in …

In recent years, composites have attracted a great deal of interest because they lack the
limitations of metallic and polymer materials. Although carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics …

A review of the applications of fractal theory in modern manufacturing is presented in this
chapter. A brief conceptual foundation, typical examples, and methods of computing fractals …

In this article, a plant monitoring approach based on a hybrid mixture of type-3 fuzzy logic
(T3FL) and the fractal dimension (FD) is presented. The main reason for combining type-3 …

Carbon fiber–reinforced plastic (CFRP) is becoming more popular in the aerospace industry
due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and low weight. Machining CFRP to achieve the …

Detecting machine tool condition deterioration affecting its accuracy is a constant challenge
for industrial machine maintenance. Machine tool volumetric errors (VEs) exhibit complex …

The proposed work investigates the hybrid surface characterisation of intra thin-walled
Ti6Al4V surfaces fabricated using laser powder bed fusion technology. The thin-walled …

Milling is a high-performance technology, which makes it possible to efficiently machine
complex shaped surfaces. The quality of the machined component is directly influenced by …

The precision status of machine tools directly affects parts' quality. Therefore, periodical
calibration of machine tools is desirable. Multiple machine error parameters can be acquired …

The volumetric error state of machine tools is related to the quality of the machined parts and
the machine tool condition. Volumetric error vectors (VEs) of machine tools can be estimated …
