Heuristic and Exact Algorithms for the Two-Machine Just in Time Job Shop Scheduling Problem
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2016 , Article)
The problem addressed in this paper is the two-machine job shop scheduling problem when the objective is to minimize the total earliness and tardiness from a common due date (CDD) for a set of jobs when their weights equal ...
Optimization of chiral lattice based metastructures for broadband vibration suppression using genetic algorithms
(
Academic Press
, 2016 , Article)
One of the major challenges in civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering is to develop vibration suppression systems with high efficiency and low cost. Recent studies have shown that high damping performance at broadband ...
Training Radial Basis Function Neural Networks for Classification via Class-Specific Clustering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
In training radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs), the locations of Gaussian neurons are commonly determined by clustering. Training inputs can be clustered on a fully unsupervised manner (input clustering), or ...
Optimal Determination of Respiratory Airflow Patterns for a General Multicompartment Lung Mechanics System with Nonlinear Resistance and Compliance Parameters
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we develop a framework for determining optimal respiratory airflow patterns for a multicompartment lung mechanics system with nonlinear resistance and compliance parameters. First, a nonlinear multicompartment ...
Hybrid radio resource allocation and interference coordination for type 1a-relayed long term evolution uplink
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology

Relay technology has been included in long term evolution (LTE) cellular system through 3GPP Release 10. Relay-based LTE cellular system is one of the most promising technologies to enhance the throughput and coverage of ...
Calculation of derating factors based on steady-state unbalanced multiphase induction machine model under open phase(s) and optimal winding currents
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Multiphase machines have become a promising candidate in high-power applications as they offer many advantages over their three-phase counterparts. The main salient feature is the high fault tolerance capability. During ...
Relay selection schemes to minimise outage in wireless powered communication networks
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, the authors discuss relay selection schemes with the objective to minimise outage probability for a network consisting of a single source, multiple relays and a single destination. The relays are powered by ...
Optimization of reliability and maintenance of liquefaction system on FLNG terminals using Markov modelling
(

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to optimize system redundancy and maintenance intervals of a propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant (C3MR) liquefaction process on floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) export platforms. ...
Prediction of performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with waste biomass pyrolysis oil using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Advanced third generation biofuels like pyrolysis oil generated from waste biomass paves way for a cleaner and sustainable environment. An experimental-cum-statistical analysis was performed with the aim of determining the ...
Multi-objective optimal design of hybrid renewable energy systems using PSO-simulation based approach
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Recently, the increasing energy demand has caused dramatic consumption of fossil fuels and unavoidable raising energy prices. Moreover, environmental effect of fossil fuel led to the need of using renewable energy (RE) to ...
