Recent Works/Projects Accomplished

  1. “Theory and Practice of Point-Line Kinematics,” National Science Foundation, $243,000, August 1, 2002 - July 31, 2005. This grant provides funding for research on the analysis, characterization, synthesis, and control of tool operations, such as numerical control machining, drilling, screwing, riveting, cutting, probing, insertion, and electric wire discharge machining. A new proposal “Full Configuration Space and Autonomous Tool Path Generation for Five-Axis CNC Machines” has been submitted to NSF to automate the tool path generation process of five-axis CNC machines.
  2. Acquisition of Research and Education Equipment for Geometric Design and Manufacturing Integration," National Science Foundation, $304,143, August 1, 2003 - January 31, 2005. This grant provides the funds to extablish a state-of-the-art manufacturing laboratory. the new lab will include a five-axis CNC machine, a rapid prototyping machine, a coordinate measuring machine, and a 3D digital scanner.
  3. "High Performance Network Connection for Tennessee Technological University," National Science Foundation, $200,000, October 1, 2003 - September 30, 2005 (co-PI). This grant provides the funds to establish the Internet-2 network on TTU campus.
  4. “VW NURBS, Offset Surfaces, and Gouging-Free CNC Tool Path Generation,” National Science Foundation, $154,270, October 1, 1997-March 31, 2001. The project presented a new technique for geometric design and CNC machining. A new proposal “Subdivision Based Geometric Design and Manufacturing Integration” has also been submitted to NSF for the study of the integration of design and manufacturing to shorten product development.
  5. “Integration of Parameter and Tolerance Design for Off-Line Quality Control,” National Science Foundation, $152,942, September 1, 1995-March 31, 1999. The research presented a quantitative expression to identify a robust design and reduce the demand of manufacturing tolerance.
