Modeling and Verification of Error Propagation in Integrated Additive/Subtractive Multi-Directional Direct Manufacturing
Integrated additive-subtractive manufacturing, when applied in the framework of SolidFreeform-Fabrication (SFF) allows the fabrication of functional parts on single platform, directly from its computer model. Reduction in process complexity and total processing steps is
ensured by multi-directional material deposition and machining. However, due to shift in the
datum location in reorientation steps and sequential addition of material in the form of layers,
the CAD process intent is not exactly replicated. This leads to inclusion of dimensional errors.
Machining in order to eliminate the errors as frequent as layer deposition is highly expensive
and can be avoided by estimation of errors and varying process parameters, and/or performing
machining after a set of layers are deposited. This paper proposes a state space model for modeling the error propagation due to linear as well as angular variation in the datum. The model
is based on identification of possible sources of error, mechanism of error inclusion and influence
of process parameters. An experiment performed to determine parameters of error modeling
has been reported.Mechanical Engineerin

Mechanism for Determination of G-factors for Solid Freeform Fabrication Techniques Based on Large Heat Input
A major class of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) methods for metal deposition
are based on large heat input. The geometry and microstructural properties of the
deposition depend primarily on the heat input and the subsequent distribution at
the substrate. On one hand the insufficient heat may lead to the inadequate melting
of the metal, on the other hand overheating and heat accumulation leads to the overmelting, resulting in the deformation of the build up geometry. The heat distribution is
governed by the available heat sink . For a better control of the process, the estimation
of heat sinks and the subsequent control of the energy input allows a better control
of the process. A parameter G-factor that estimates the heat sink based on the local
geometry of a part has been introduced. The estimation of G-factor is based on the
simulation and the experimental results. Also a mechanism to determine the G-factor
for various substrate geometries has been introduced.Mechanical Engineerin

An Investigation of Gas-Powder Flow in Laser-Based Direct Metal Deposition
Laser-Based Direct Metal Deposition (LBDMD) is a blown-powder laser deposition process
which can produce fully-dense and metallurgicaly sound parts by a layered manufacturing
method. Since a deposition head equipped with discontinuous radially symmetric nozzles has the
potential to be tilted without influence of the gravity on the powder stream shape, it can be used
for multi-axis deposition. The shape of the gas-powder stream with respect to the shape of laser
beam and the size of the molten pool, have a large influence on the size and shape of the buildup.
They determine the geometrical accuracy and the surface quality of the buildup. This paper
examines gas-powder flow from radially symmetric nozzles using computational fluid dynamics
method. For verification purpose the powder flow was investigated by a visualization method
and powder concentration distribution was analyzed using image processing technique. The
obtained results are in good agreement with numerical model.Mechanical Engineerin

Thermo-structural Finite Element Analysis of Direct Laser Metal Deposited Thin-Walled Structures
Multilayer direct laser metal deposition is a fabrication process in which the parts are fabricated
by creating a molten pool into which particles are injected. During fabrication, a complex
thermal history is experienced in different regions of the build, depending on the process
parameters and part geometry. The thermal history induces residual stress accumulation in the
buildup, which is the main cause of cracking during the fabrication. The management of residual
stress and the resulting distortion is a critical factor for the success of the process. A thermostructural finite element model (FEM) of the process is developed, and the analysis reveals
different patterns of residual stress in the thin-walled structures depending on the deposition
strategy and the geometry of the structures. The residual stress patterns obtained from finite
element analysis (FEA) are in good agreement with the experimental results.Mechanical Engineerin
Mirror-Curves and Knot Mosaics
Inspired by the paper on quantum knots and knot mosaics [23] and grid
diagrams (or arc presentations), used extensively in the computations of
Heegaard-Floer knot homology [2,3,7,24], we construct the more concise
representation of knot mosaics and grid diagrams via mirror-curves. Tame knot
theory is equivalent to knot mosaics [23], mirror-curves, and grid diagrams
[3,7,22,24]. Hence, we introduce codes for mirror-curves treated as knot or
link diagrams placed in rectangular square grids, suitable for software
implementation. We provide tables of minimal mirror-curve codes for knots and
links obtained from rectangular grids of size 3x3 and px2 (p<5), and describe
an efficient algorithm for computing the Kauffman bracket and L-polynomials
[18,19,20] directly from mirror-curve representations

Strateški okviri EU za održivi razvoj industrije i mogućnosti našeg usklađivanja
U radu su analizirani strateški okviri EU u planiranju održivog razvoja industrije i mogućnost našeg prilagođavanja. Cilj analize je pokušaj iznalaženja prihvatljivih načina formulisanja osnova i mogućnosti harmonizacije planiranja održivog razvoja industrije u Srbiji u odnosu na evropske strateške okvire postavljene Lisabonskom agendom, Perspektivama evropskog prostornog razvoja ka uravnoteženom i održivom razvoju teritorije EU (ESDP) i mogućnost uvođenja Direktive EU o integralnoj kontroli zagađivanja u industriji (Directive IPPC) i Direktive EU o proceni strateških efekata planova i programa na životnu sredinu (tzv. SEA-strateška procena uticaja). U radu se izučavaju strateški okviri, pristupi i ciljevi održivog razvoja industrije u EU i predlaže prilagođavanje Srbije u periodu tranzicije ka tržišnom privređivanju. U razmatranje su uključene prednosti i nedostaci za primenu pristupa planiranja održivog razvoja u periodu tranzicije u Srbiji, i predlaže se formulisanje nove održive industrijske politike koja bi trebalo da sadrži kombinovane elemente tržišnih i envajronmentalnih mehanizama i način implementacije (standardi, indikatori set raznih politika, instrumenata, mera i dr). U radu su dati predlozi za okvire strategijskog planiranja teritorijalnog razvoja industrije
