The selection of the appropriate machining parameters plays a very important role in the implementation of high-speed machining technology. The case-based reasoning is used in the developing of high-speed machining database to overcome the shortage of available high-speed cutting parameters in machining data handbooks and shop floors. The high-speed machining database developed in this paper includes two main components: the machining database and the case-base. The machining database stores the cutting parameters, cutting tool data, work pieces and their materials data, and other relative data, while the case-base stores mainly the successfully solved cases that are problems of work pieces and their machining. The case description and case retrieval methods are described to establish the case-based reasoning high-speed machining database. With the case retrieval method, some succeeded cases similar to the new machining problem can be retrieved from the case-base. The solution of the most matched case is evaluated and modified, and then it is regarded as the proposed solution to the new machining problem. After verification, the problem and its solution are packed up into a new case, and are stored in the case-base for future applications.展开更多

This paper proposes an index algorithm of clustering called CMA, which supports fast retrieval of large image databases. CMA takes advantages of k-means and self-adaptive algorithms. It is simple and works without any user interactions. There are two main stages in this algorithm. In the first stage, it classifies images in a database into several clusters, and automatically gets the necessary parameters for the next stage-k-means iteration. The CMA algorithm is tested on a large database of more than ten thousand images and compare it with k-means algorithm. Experimental results show that this algorithm is effective in both precision and retrieval time.展开更多

In particular, the theory of fuzzy membership functions, similarity matrices, and the operation of fuzzy inference play important roles.A realistic set of 25 washers and nuts are employed to conduct extensive experiments and simulations.The investigation includes a complete demonstration of engineering design. The results obtained from this feasibility study are very encouraging indeed because they represent the lower bound with respect to performance, namely correctrecognition rate, of what fuzzy methodology can do.
