A biological treatment unit has been developed for electroplating wastewater based on the fact that organic pollutants are found in rinsing effluents due to some organic acids and salts used in electroplating bath.

Manufacturing cell formation is a key factor of implementing cellular manufacturing.

Robotic Cells Scheduling Based on Chaos Genetic Algorithm;

The method of element birth and death was applied to simulate the model of loading welding heat source.

The paper briefly introduces several heat source models in numerical simulation of welding processes,including Gaussian distribution,double-ellipsoid distribution and birth-death element.

The process of multi-pass welding was simulated using a technique of element birth and death.

Temperature distribution during wheel piling is simulated using the thermal analysis module as well as "element birth and death" and contact features of finite element analysis software ANSYS (Ver 6.

The paper actualizes the structural initial load using the element birth and death technology,and contrasts the RC beam strengthened with CFRP on the bottom face with the one strengthened with CFRP on the side faces.
