Multi-objective optimization for optimum tolerance synthesis with process and machine selection using a genetic algorithm
This paper presents a new approach to the tolerance synthesis of the component parts of assemblies by simultaneously optimizing three manufacturing parameters: manufacturing cost, including tolerance cost and quality loss cost; machining time; and machine overhead/idle time cost. A methodology has been developed using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique to solve this multi-objective optimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology has been demonstrated by solving a wheel mounting assembly problem consisting of five components, two subassemblies, two critical dimensions, two functional tolerances, and eight operations. Significant cost saving can be achieved by employing this methodology
Study of in the vicinity of

Performance of the resonant Schottky pickup at CSRe
For a bunched beam, the signals on pickups are coherent, providing a signal power proportional to the square of the number of particles. For a coasting beam the individual particle signals have a random phase; therefore, the overall signal is proportional to the particle number N. As a consequence, Schottky signals are often relatively weak and have to compete with many noise sources. For a small number of particles, the S/N is always a problem. To achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio and better temporal resolution, which could yield important physical information about fast processes, a resonant pickup was developed at GSI (Nolden et al., 2011 [1]), and a similar device is now installed in the CSRe [2] at IMP. This device will be used for nuclear mass and lifetime measurement, as well as other uses. The final goal of the pickup is to detect single particles. In Dec 2012, we performed an experiment with a 112Sn50+ beam with an energy of 253 MeV/u, and the single particle sensitivity of the pickup was successfully confirmed. This paper presents hardware measurements of the pickup as well as beam measurements
