Dynamic Bottleneck Identification of Manufacturing Resources in Complex Manufacturing System
Bottleneck identification is of great interest in discrete manufacturing fields, as they limit the system’s throughput. However, the bottlenecks are difficult to accurately identify due to the instability and complexity of discrete manufacturing systems.

Buckling and strength analysis of panels with discrete stiffness tailoring [PDF]
Continuous variation of stiffness across flat plates has been shown, theoretically, to improve buckling performance by up to 60%. However, steered fibre manufacturing methods cannot achieve the minimum radius of curvature required for improvement whilst ...
