“…There are limitations in manufacturing modular machinery as there is no standard method of producing such components [35]. To overcome this, modular production system [MPS] is put forward [36,37] for manufacturing low to medium technology consumer goods. MPS builds flexible production systems from standardized modular subsystems.…”

Manufacturers throughout the world are facing major new challenges, including shorter product life cycles and increasing competition. As companies strive to rationalize engineering design, manufacturing, and support processes and to produce a large variety of products at lower costs, modularity is becoming a focus. This paper reviews the methodologies for determining modular manufacturing systems while considering cost and performance. The manufacturing concept, termed modular production systems and modular manufacturing systems are aimed specifically at "hard" low to medium technology products, as typified by goods such as children's toys and kitchen appliances. It was proposed to increase the flexibility of the manufacturing operation in terms of its range of function, product, and service by modularizations and its ability to be easily reconfigured in the face of changing conditions.

In the present paper, a finite element model is developed to investigate the static analysis of the piezostack with two hundred layers, in which the polarization directions are opposite between two adjacent layers in axial one. The distributions of the stress and voltage are simultaneously taken into account under both the constant electric and mechanical loads. The results show that the maximum Von Mises stress locates in the corner of the structure near the constrained surface, and the maximum electric field strength locates over the end of the internal electrode that has zero potential. In addition the effect of strip electrodes is considered for the above computation, the numerical simulation indicates that its influence is insignificant and can be ignored in practice analysis.
