Crystalline Imperfections

The crystalline imperfections are described as the geometrical defects in the crystal due to incorrect arrangement of atoms, impurity, vacancy, and many more. It is not possible to achieve a perfect or ideal crystal, practically.

Students have asked these similar questions

1)Identify which principle of design for assembly (DFA) is applied in the design you have recommended.

A final assembly plant for a certain automobilemodel is to have a capacity of 240,000 units annually.The plant will operate 50 wk/yr, 2 shifts/day, 5 days/wk, and 8.0 hr/shift. It will be divided into three departments: (1) body shop, (2) paint shop, (3) trim-chassis-final department. The body shop welds the car bodies using robots, and the paint shop coats the bodies. Both of these departments are highly auto-mated. Trim-chassis-final has no automation. There are 15.5 hr of direct labor content on each car in this department, where cars are moved by a continuous conveyor. Determine (a) hourly production rate ofthe plant, (b) number of workers and workstations required in trim-chassis-final if no automated stations are used, the average manning level is 2.5, balancing efficiency 1⁄4 93%, proportion uptime 1⁄495%, and a repositioning time of 0.15 min is allowedfor each worker.

Solve problem 17.5 but assume that m = 0.5 for all stations. Other data are the same 17.5 listed below 17.5 (a) A 10-station assembly machine has an ideal cycle time of 6 sec. The fraction defect rate at each station is 0.005 and a defect always jams the affected station. When a breakdown occurs, it takes 1.2 min, on average, for the system to be put back into operation. Determine (a) the hourly production rate for the assembly machine, (b) yield of good product (final assemblies containing no defective components), and (c) proportion uptime of the system.
