DESIGN AND UTILIZATION OF A LOW-COST FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING CELL
(
IEEE
, 1988 , Conference Paper)
This paper describes how to establish and efficiently utilize a low-cost Flexible Manufacturing (FM) cell for education, light machining and assembly operations. The cell comprises a microcomputer, manufacturing workstations, ...
The use of Robot Redundancy in Contour Path Operations for Selected Manufacturing Applications
(
IEEE
, 1992 , Conference Paper)
Redundant robots have many applications and use in path synthesis for crowded workspace and in minimum time control path tracking problems. In selected manufacturing applications - such as spray painting, continuous welding, ...
Design and numerical study of the integration of omnidirectional shroud with vertical axis wind turbine
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The integration of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with the novel omni-directional shroud is proposed. It consists of the upper wall, lower wall and an array of 5 guide-vanes. Wind from all directions is collected ...
Double EWMA-Based Polynomial Quality Profiles Monitoring
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Profile monitoring is useful whenever the quality is described by a relationship between a response and one or more of explanatory variables. It is conventional to refer to this relationship as Quality Profile. Despite the ...
Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
Distribution-Free Adaptive Step-Down Procedure for Fault Identification
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Identifying the faulty variables of the out-of-control signal in high-dimensional process is an important problem for quality control areas. Even though there have been several procedures for fault variable identifications, ...
An Integrated Quay Crane Assignment and Scheduling Problem Using Branch-and-Price
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the integrated quay crane assignment and scheduling problem (QCASP). The problem requires determining the assignment of quay cranes to vessels and the scheduling of operations to be performed by ...
Integrated Optimization for Stock Levels and Cross-Training Schemes with Simulation-Based Genetic Algorithm
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
A spare part supply system for repairable spares in a repair shop is modeled as a set of heterogeneous parallel servers that have the ability to repair only certain types of repairables. The proposed model minimizes the ...
Regional Well-to-Wheel Carbon, Energy, and Water Footprint Analysis of Electric Vehicles
(
Atlantis Press
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Adoption of alternative vehicle technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have the potential of reducing some of the environmental impacts ...
Carbon Footprints of Construction Industries: A Global, Supply Chain-linked Analysis
(
IEEE
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The global construction industry is predicted to grow rapidly over the next decades by developing globalization, urbanization, and infrastructure renewal. Global Construction 2020 forecasts that China, USA, India, Japan, ...
