The study was conducted at one of the Sarafix fixator configurations that have a clinical application in the treatment of tibia fractures. The intensity of principal and yon Mises stresses generated at two measuring points (MP) on the fixator connecting rod were monitored and analyzed during the testing on axial compression on the fixator design and its finite element model (FEM). The 3D geometrical and FEM model of the fixator was formed using the computer aided design/computer aided engineering (CAD/CAE) software system CATIA. Verification of the results for the dominant principal stresses obtained from FEA was carried out through tensometric measurements. The measuring chain consisted of strain gauges connected into two Wheatstone half-bridges, digital measuring amplifier system and a computer with software for acquisition and monitoring of measurement results. A quite good agreement was observed between the results obtained on the basis of FEA and results of experimental tensometric analysis,展开更多

In newtype fiowshop layout, the common machines shared by several flowlines could be located together in functional sections. The approach combines traditional cell formation techniques with sequence alignment algorithms. Firstly, a sequence analysis based cell formation procedure is adopted; then the operation sequences for parts are aligned to maximize machines adjacency in hyperedge representations; finally a tree-shape planar flowline will be obtained for each part family. With the help of a sample of operation sequences obtained from industry, this algorithm is illustrated.展开更多
