A branch-and-price algorithm for the two-stage guillotine cutting stock problem
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We investigate the two-stage guillotine two-dimensional cutting stock problem. This problem commonly arises in the industry when small rectangular items need to be cut out of large stock sheets. We propose an integer ...
PS/TiO2 (polystyrene/titanium dioxide) composite nanofibers with higher surface-to-volume ratio prepared by electrospinning: Morphology and thermal properties
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
Polystyrene (PS)/Titanium dioxide (TiO2) composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning of PS/TiO2 solution in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The effect of PS and TiO2 concentration on the morphology and thermal ...
Improved bounds for hybrid flow shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks
(2013 , Article)
In this paper, we investigate the problem of minimizing makespan in a multistage hybrid flow-shop scheduling with multiprocessor tasks. To generate high-quality approximate solutions to this challenging NP-hard problem, ...
An experimental investigation into mechanical behavior of hybrid and nonhybrid composite semi-elliptical springs
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
This study introduces a new composite semi-elliptical suspension spring by utilizing fiber reinforced composite strength in principal direction instead of shear direction. Three types of composites were tested, namely, ...
An assignment-based lower bound for a class of two-machine flow shop problems
(2013 , Article)
We present an assignment-based lower bound that is valid for a wide class of two-machine flow shop problems with a regular additive performance criterion. We provide empirical evidence that this new bound consistently ...
Enhanced compact models for the connected subgraph problem and for the shortest path problem in digraphs with negative cycles
(2013 , Article)
We investigate the minimum-weight connected subgraph problem. The importance of this problem stems from the fact that it constitutes the backbone of many network design problems having applications in several areas including ...
The effects of gas tungsten arch welding on the corrosion and mechanical properties of AA 6061 T6
(2013 , Article)
Corrosion of welded and un-welded Aluminum Alloy 6061 T6 was investigated by immersing specimens in 3.5% (wt) NaCl solution. Potentiodynamic and open circuit potential measurements were conducted. The mechanical properties ...
Greedy algorithms and metaheuristics for a multiple runway combined arrival-departure aircraft sequencing problem
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
This paper examines the Aircraft Sequencing Problem (ASP) over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures simultaneously. ...
MIP models for minimizing total tardiness in a two-machine flow shop
(
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd.
, 2013 , Article)
We propose compact mixed-integer programming models for the NP-hard problem of minimizing tardiness in a two-machine flow shop. Also, we propose valid inequalities that aim at tightening the models' representations. We ...
Microstructure, thermal and mechanical response of AZ51/Al2O3 nanocomposite with 2 wt.% Ca addition
(
Elsevier, Ltd
, 2013 , Article)
In the present study, new AZ51/Al2O3–2Ca magnesium nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by simultaneously adding 2wt.% aluminum, 2wt.% Ca and 1.5vol.% nanosized Al2O3 (50nm) into AZ31 matrix using a disintegrated ...
