In this study, the operation optimization problem of the steel manufacturing process, which needed to go through a complex production organization from customers' orders to workshop production, was analyzed.

The literature review reveals that, although considerable research has been conducted to optimize the operation of steel production, these techniques are usually independent and unsystematic.Therefore, the future work related to operation optimization of the steel manufacturing process based on the integration of multi technologies and the intersection of multi disciplines were summarized.展开更多

The tubular wall of the prosthesis is divided circumferentially into three zones; basic line (BL), remeshing line ( RL) and guide line ( GL). Some heterogeneity has been observed on the tubular wall in terms of stitch structure of the prosthesis and linear density of the constituent filaments. The breaking position of the prosthesis under circumferential tensile localizes preferentially in remeshing line that is the weakest zone by warp knitting with double needle bed. Furthermore, the statistical differences of the mechanical properties of the filaments of zone RL, GL and BL have been confirmed too. It is predictable that the deterioration of prosthesis, under physiological loads (periodical pulse blood pressure etc.), could happen firstly in the weaker zone in vivo.展开更多

文摘Sustainable production depends on the optimization of manufacturing processes.The assessment of carbon emissions in manufacturing is crucial for achieving sustainability.However,a comprehensive systematic framework to reflect the carbon emission regularity of manufacturing processes is currently lacking.This study focuses on the modeling and evaluation of carbon emissions by considering machining processes and multiple factors.First,carbon emission models for machining processes,such as turning,milling,and drilling,are systematically summarized by considering power consumption.Second,the influence of system parameters on carbon emissions is analyzed.Results show that cutting depth exerts a substantial effect on carbon emissions,and material removal rate has minimal influence.Last,the emission reduction mechanism and performance of novel sustainable machining processes are examined to contribute to carbon emission reduction.This study helps in systematically understanding carbon emissions in manufacturing processes,providing support for the further development of sustainable manufacturing.
文摘This article briefly discusses the theoretical basis and overall goals of energy conservation in the steel manufacturing process system.It is proposed that in the process of implementing system energy conservation,it is necessary to fully recognize and utilize the characteristics and functional advantages of the steel manufacturing process,pay more attention to energy quality,firmly grasp the overall goal of system optimization,focus on the integrated optimization of gas,steam,and waste heat systems,and propose the idea of constructing a"steel chemi-cal gas electricity heating cooling multi generation system".Based on practice,the main principles,models,and effects of implementing systematic energy conservation in steel enterprises have been proposed.
