Integrated Design and Manufacturing Methods Volume II - New Heuristic and Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Production Scheduling in Flexible Manufacturing Systems,

Abstract

Spline geometries representing airfoil shapes have been found to present difficulties in manufacturing compatibility with design. This work highlights these problems and seeks to find a solution to the problem of profile matching. A spline geometry system has been developed to simulate the design iteration process with manufacturability as the criterion. The computational algorithm and design procedures are documented. The report provides a study of the effect of design knots on the manufactured profile and also a procedure to integrate design and manufacturing data for the production of spline profiles such as the turbine blade section.
