Failure prevention in engineering components is vital to efficiently reducing costs and very crucial to preservation of lives. Crucial to this failure prevention is the requirement of knowing stresses within the components, not just to counter the risk of overloading but also to determine the onset

thermally sprayed coatings for use as structural health monitoring (SHM) sensors to monitoring in-service stresses through electromechanical measurements. The components of focus are wind turbine blades and pipes used in oil and gas. Mechanical blend of a nickel alloy (NiCoCrAlTaY) powder and titania (TiO2

Engineering design is a complex process. There are unknowns and uncertainties. To better support engineering design, researches on different aspects of engineering design need to be conducted. Function concepts represent the engineering design purposes of the product elements and are usually

design dependencies, both functional and structural. Next, with the dependency analysis of CAD models, it shows that CAD modeling at best complies with the form of the design at the current stage. The current practice of CAD modeling lacks functional design flavor. Because functional design is critical

in the engineering design process, it justifies the need of extending CAD modeling capability to support functional design. Functional feature, which inherits from the associative feature, is introduced to address the issue of connectivity deficiency between the declarative functions in high-level

To address the requirement of dynamic pricing and cost control in high-variation product manufacturing, nowadays many companies face the problem of generating quotes and order prices timely, accurately and consistently. This research reports a preliminary investigation on automatic cost estimation

address effective and efficient product cost structures, frequent configuration variations and business changes. Cost feature has been defined by the authors as a unique class in the unified feature modelling system to address the characteristics of cost engineering entities, constraints and dependency

relations. This research describes the relations between a cost feature and three engineering sub-models, i.e. machining model, design model and other auxiliary data model by associating tangible and intangible data. Further, semantic relations are investigated in early product design process for dynamic

The utilization of fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) has rapidly increased over the past few decades because of their attractive mechanical properties, comparatively low volumetric mass density, and excellent corrosion resistance compared to traditional engineering materials like steel

possible reductions in manufacturing cost that can be achieved using rapid and continuous fabrication processes. While thermosetting matrices typically offer excellent resistance to water, moisture exposure may significantly affect fibers embedded in thermoplastic polymers. Additionally, some structural

composites for structural applications since the uncertainty of the material interaction with the environment compromises the superior material properties. The present work focused on the effects of hydrothermal aging on the mechanical durability of long glass, carbon, and basalt fibers by immersion in

This thesis studies integrative augmentation with customer satisfaction (CS) standards in a service and a manufacturing organization. Case study organization 1 (CSO 1) is an engineering course operated in a Western Canadian university. In this course, surveys were undertaken that addressed student

structural equation modelling (SEM) that illustrates the effects of multiple characteristics of the MS elements on e-class site satisfaction. The second analysis presents the results of an augmentative integration performed in a windows and doors manufacturer (CSO 2). The integrated management system (IMS

transition metal-based catalysts are demonstrated. Effective strategies such as alloying design, single-atom catalyst design, interface engineering, and heterojunction construction are summarized. Chapter 2 clarifies the objectives and experimental design based on the literature review. Chapter 3 is an

experimental section for the design and fabrication of transition metal-based heterogeneous structural Co2P-Ni3S2 hollow nanowires supported on nickel foam (Co2P-Ni3S2/NF). Owing to the multiple active sites provided by transition metal compounds, the large surface area of the unique hollow nanowire morphology

strength of polymeric composite laminates, delamination remains a major obstacle, jeopardizing these improvements. The first two chapters of this thesis thoroughly explores the challenges of graphene distribution within the laminates, highlighting those inconsistencies in the structural integrity and

-GRC plates in both pre- and post-buckled thermal states, highlighting the complex interplay between material distribution, structural imperfections, and their combined effects on the performance of the laminated plate. Recent advancements in manufacturing technologies have transformed the

fabrication of composite laminates. This innovation offers enhanced design flexibility, customization options, and improved production efficiency. The integration of advanced manufacturing with composite materials has opened up new possibilities for constructing complex and functional engineering structures
