Previously, different deadlock control strategies for automated manufacturing systems (AMSs) based on Petri Nets with reliable resources have been proposed. However, in real-world applications, resources may be unreliable. Therefore, deadlock control strategies presented in previous research studies are not suitable for such applications. To address this issue, this paper proposes a novel three-step deadlock control strategy for fault detection and treatment of unreliable resource systems. In the first step, a controlled system (deadlock-free) is obtained using the "Maximum Number of Forbidding First met Bad Markings Problem 1" (MFFBMP1), which does not consider resource failures. Subsequently, all obtained monitors are merged into a single monitor based on a colored Petri net. The second step addresses deadlocks caused by resource failures in the Petri net model using a common recovery subnet based on colored Petri nets. The recovery subnet is applied to the system obtained in the first step to ensure that the system is reliable. The third step proposes a hybrid approach that combines neural networks with colored Petri nets obtained from the second step, for the detection and treatment of faults. The proposed approach possesses the advantages of modular integration of Petri nets and can also learn neurons and reduce knowledge, similar to neural networks. Therefore, this approach solves the deadlock problem in AMSs and also detects and treats failures. The proposed approach was tested using an example from literature.
The turning, which consists of the removal of metal from the outer diameter of a rotating cylindrical workpiece, is one of the most common techniques for cutting, especially when finishing the product. The values of the cutting parameters, such as feed rate, cutting speed, and depth of cut, in a turning operation must be selected carefully to improve the profit of operations by enhancing productivity and reducing the total manufacturing cost for each component. A high vibration leads to poor surface finish and reduced productivity and shortens the tool life; therefore, this parameter should be controlled. In this study, an experiment is conducted to investigate the effects of these cutting parameters in the turning process of a workpiece, composed of AISI 1040 steel, using the response surface method. Statistical tools were used to design the experiments. These parameters are optimized by using analysis of variance, regression, and optimization techniques to achieve the condition of minimum vibration and chip frequency, therefore improving the surface roughness after the turning process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
