This connection also leads to a tremendous amount of data generated leading to ‘Data’ now considered one of the core assets in the broader manufacturing industry. However, the availability of this asset is hardly made use of by Small and Medium scale manufacturing enterprises (SME) - the ‘Mittelstand’ of America. How can certain types of data be shared by SME companies, yet have the ability to retain ownership and control over their own data? How does SME leverage computing on these diverse forms of data for the benefit of its clients and itself? In this paper, we propose a decentralized data distribution architecture to democratize the potential availability of large amounts of data generated by the manufacturing industry using the Fog Computing paradigm. The architecture leverages an Industry scalable middleware extension of Cloud manufacturing that securely filters and transmits data from IoT enabled manufacturing machines on the shop floor to potential users over the cloud. This work also demonstrates a data-centric approach which allows peer-to-peer data sharing laterally within the fog layer to serve cloud users. We demonstrate the feasibility of the Fog middleware infrastructure through case studies that involves various types of manufacturing data.}, journal={47TH SME NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING RESEARCH CONFERENCE (NAMRC 47)}, author={Sherlekar, Riddhiman and Starly, Binil and Cohen, Paul H.}, year={2019}, pages={893–902} }

This poses a challenge to designers who are looking to obtain quality 3D printed parts at best available prices within fastest turnaround times. Customers relying on a sole source for 3D printed parts may have limited options in obtaining the best deals. From a service supplier point of view, filling excess capacity will require significant marketing budgets to reach and retain customers. In this paper, we present a novel mechanism design approach for improving the accessibility of prototyping services providers by leveraging their excess capacity. In our proposed mechanism, consumers name their own price and the mechanism will find service bureaus who are willing to make the part under the stated price. The mechanism runs similar to a reverse auction where consumers bid and the platform finds a service supplier which is able to match the stated bid price. The incentive for suppliers to participate in such a platform is the opportunity to market their excess capacity to a deal conscious consumer at a lower price without cannibalizing their existing sales channels. Qualified suppliers do not directly compete with each other for any given order since they are chosen using a two stage selection process by the service platform. This algorithm ensures that every supplier has a fair chance of selling its services on the platform regardless of price. We implement the proposed mechanism design approach in a simulated service marketplace and empirically evaluate the marketplace behavior by studying the impact of various model factors such as the supplier threshold price, the size and variety of suppliers in the marketplace.}, journal={JOURNAL OF MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS}, author={Pahwa, Deepak and Starly, Binil and Cohen, Paul}, year={2018}, month={Jul}, pages={134–143} }

                  Summary
                  The Regenerative Medicine Foundation Annual Conference held on May 6 and 7, 2014, had a vision of assisting with translating tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM)-based technologies closer to the clinic. This vision was achieved by assembling leaders in the field to cover critical areas. Some of these critical areas included regulatory pathways for regenerative medicine therapies, strategic partnerships, coordination of resources, developing standards for the field, government support, priorities for industry, biobanking, and new technologies. The final day of this conference featured focused sessions on manufacturing, during which expert speakers were invited from industry, government, and academia. The speakers identified and accessed roadblocks plaguing the field where improvements in advanced manufacturing offered many solutions. The manufacturing sessions included (a) product development toward commercialization in regenerative medicine, (b) process challenges to scale up manufacturing in regenerative medicine, and (c) infrastructure needs for manufacturing in regenerative medicine. Subsequent to this, industry was invited to participate in a survey to further elucidate the challenges to translation and scale-up. This perspective article will cover the lessons learned from these manufacturing sessions and early results from the survey. We also outline a road map for developing the manufacturing infrastructure, resources, standards, capabilities, education, training, and workforce development to realize the promise of TERM.

Nanopatterns on aluminum and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) substrates are fabricated by the ultrasonic vibration-assisted nanomachining approach. It is demonstrated that using a small set-point force and the same vibration amplitude for machining PMMA and aluminum, nearly the same feature depth is achieved. The fabrication depth is mainly controlled by the amplitude of the tip-sample z-vibration, and is insensitive to sample materials. A theoretical analysis of the sample contact stiffness and dynamic stiffness of the cantilever is used to explain the observed material-insensitive depth regulation by ultrasonic tip-sample vibration. The ultrasonic vibration also effectively reduces the normal force and friction during nanomachining. On both PMMA and aluminum samples, experimental results demonstrate significant reduction in set-point force and lateral friction force in ultrasonic vibration-assisted nanomachining compared with nanomachining without ultrasonic z-vibration. Smaller tip wear is observed in ultrasonic vibration-assisted nanomachining for the fabrication of PMMA samples.}, number={5}, journal={IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NANOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Zhang, Li and Dong, Jingyan and Cohen, Paul H.}, year={2013}, month={Sep}, pages={743–750} }

In recent years, they have been utilized to improve the functionality and reliability of a wide range of implantable medical devices ranging from well‐established orthopedic residual hardware devices (e.g., hip implants) that can repair defects in skeletal systems to emerging tissue engineering scaffolds that can repair or replace organ functions. This review summarizes the applications and efficacies of these nanomaterials that include synthetic or naturally occurring metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites in orthopedic implants, the largest market segment of implantable medical devices. The importance of synergistic engineering techniques that can augment or enhance the performance of nanomaterial applications in orthopedic implants is also discussed, the focus being on a low‐intensity direct electric current (LIDC) stimulation technology to promote the long‐term antibacterial efficacy of oligodynamic metal‐based surfaces by ionization, while potentially accelerating tissue growth and osseointegration. While many nanomaterials have clearly demonstrated their ability to provide more effective implantable medical surfaces, further decisive investigations are necessary before they can translate into medically safe and commercially viable clinical applications. The article concludes with a discussion about some of the critical impending issues with the application of nanomaterials‐based technologies in implantable medical devices, and potential directions to address these.

In this work, an experiment with a statistical design for the residual stress tensor was performed to investigate the residual stress profile on a machined surface. In order to understand the generation mechanism of residual stress in machining, three variables and workpiece materials were carefully selected to focus on the mechanical loads and avoid the temperature gradients and phase transformation on the machined surface. The mechanical loads considered here included the chip formation force at the primary shear zone and the plowing force at the tool tip–workpiece contact. Depths of cut and rake angles were selected to alter the chip formation force, and the tool tip radius was designed to emphasize the plowing effect. The workpiece material was aluminum 3003. The experimental results showed that the chip formation force provides basic shapes of the residual stress profile for a machined surface. It decides the depth of the peak residual stress below the surface. However, the plowing force was the dominating effect on the surface residual stress, causing high stresses on the surface. The plowing force can shift the surface stress from tensile to compressive. Additionally, the measured stress tensor proved that in-plane shear stress exists for the machined surface.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Manufacturing Processes}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Fu, Wei-En and Cohen, Paul H. and Ruud, Clayton O.}, year={2009}, month={Jul}, pages={88–96} }

However, degradation mechanisms which lead to residual stresses in materials exposed to high-energy ion beams are not well understood. In this study, we examine the evolution of residual stresses in 100 nm thick freestanding aluminum films subjected to typical ion beam exposures within a commercial FIB tool. Experimental results show that the magnitude of the residual stresses increase with cumulative ion beam exposure and that upper limits are attainable. Further investigation demonstrates that a decrease in ion beam current at constant acceleration-voltage augments the upper limits, which manifests itself in greater residual stresses. The stress gradients in thin films develop from surface modifications in the form of amorphous top layers, which are modeled as bilayer approximations. Experimental observations and analysis indicate that ion beam exposure effects on the mechanical properties of nanoscale thin films and nanostructures cannot be ignored.}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF MICROMECHANICS AND MICROENGINEERING}, author={Samayoa, M.
