Advances in blends preparation based on electrically conducting polymer
( Springer Nature , 2019 , Article)This work presents an extensively detailed study on preparation and performance of four different hydrochloric acid-doped polyaniline (PANI) blends. The blends are obtained by changing four different polymers, viz. polyvinyl ... -
Chatter stability prediction for a flexible tool-workpiece system in a turning process
( Springer London , 2017 , Article)The paper focuses on the chatter stability prediction for a flexible tool-workpiece system in a turning process. The dynamic model of the turning process presented here considers two end conditions of the flexible workpiece. ... -
Multiple parts process planning in serial–parallel flexible flow lines: part II—solution method based on genetic algorithms with fixed- and variable-length chromosomes
( Springer London , 2015 , Article)Multiple parts process planning (MPPP) is a hard optimization problem that requires the rigor and intensity of metaheuristic-based algorithms such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. In this paper, a solution ... -
Optimal skill assignment with modular architecture in spare parts supply systems
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2017 , Conference Paper)We study a single location supply system for repairable spare parts. The system consists of a multi-server repairshop and inventory of ready-to-use spare parts. When a failed part is received, a new (or as-good-as-new) ... -
Organizational innovation and the role of strategic planning: the case of the Dubai hotel industry
( emerald insight , 2023 , Article)Purpose In today's dynamic and competitive environment, innovation is a key requirement for hotels to survive, be profitable and sustain their competitive advantages. However, because the study of innovation in the ... -
Stretching the Spines of Gymnasts: A Review
( Springer International Publishing , 2016 , Article)Gymnastics is noted for involving highly specialized strength, power, agility and flexibility. Flexibility is perhaps the single greatest discriminator of gymnastics from other sports. The extreme ranges of motion achieved ... -
Uncertainty and contract flexibility in automotive supply chains: A simulation model
( Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. , 2019 , Article)Supply chains are vulnerable to uncertainties in demand and supply. Such uncertainties are often responsible for failure of contracts between buyers and suppliers. Flexible provisions in contracts are likely to reduce the ...
