A clustering-based repair shop design for repairable spare part supply systems
( Elsevier Ltd , 2018 , Article)In this study, we address the design problem of a single repair shop in a repairable multi-item spare part supply system. We propose a sequential solution heuristic to solve the joint problem of resource pooling, inventory ... -
A combined method to model dynamic recrystallization based on cellular automaton and a phenomenological (CAP) approach
( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)Titanium alloys with high stacking-fault energy show continuous dynamic recrystallization (CDRX) instead of discontinuous dynamic recrystallization (DDRX) during high-temperature deformation. During the CDRX mechanism, new ... -
A comparative analysis of experimental and numerical investigations of composite tubes under axial and lateral loading
(2010 , Article)Quasi-static tests are performed in order to determine the crash behavior of composite tubes. The specimens are made from woven fiber carbon/epoxy. The crash experiments show that the tubes crushed in a progressive manner ... -
A Comparative Study on Pandemic Response and Their Impact on Economic Growth: Evidence From COVID-19 Outbreak In Scandanavia
( IEOM Society , 2021 , Conference Paper)Coronavirus strikes again with the delta variant and puts the world in a phase 3 pandemic state. Countries all over the world have adopted different response mechanisms to contain the virus's spread. Health officials call ... -
A comprehensive analysis of bio-inspired design of femoral stem on primary and secondary stabilities using mechanoregulatory algorithm
( Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH , 2020 , Article)The coated porous section of stem surface is initially filled with callus that undergoes osseointegration process, which develops a bond between stem and bone, lessens the micromotions and transfers stresses to the bone, ... -
A comprehensive annual delivery program for upstream liquefied natural gas supply chain
( Elsevier , 2016 , Article)Developing a cost-effective annual delivery program (ADP) is a challenging task for liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers, especially for LNG supply chains with large number of vessels and customers. Given significant ... -
A continuum model with a percolation threshold and tunneling-assisted interfacial conductivity for carbon nanotube-based nanocomposites
( American Institute of Physics Inc. , 2014 , Article)A continuum model that possesses several desirable features of the electrical conduction process in carbon-nanotube (CNT) based nanocomposites is developed. Three basic elements are included: (i) percolation threshold, ... -
