Ultrasonic stress measurement is a nondestructive technique that has increasingly been employed to evaluate the welding residual stress of different materials. This study compares contact and immersion ultrasonic waves ...
Optimization models in emergency logistics: A literature review
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article Review)
Optimization modeling has become a powerful tool to tackle emergency logistics problems since its first adoption in maritime disaster situations in the 1970s. Using techniques of content analysis, this paper reviews ...
Exact methods for the quay crane scheduling problem when tasks are modeled at the single container level
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
The scheduling of quay cranes (QCs) to minimize the handling time of a berthed vessel is one of the most important operations in container terminals as it impacts the terminal's overall productivity. In this paper, we ...
Pareto-front analysis of a monotonie PI control law for slip suppression in a robotic manipulator
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents a novel slip-suppression controller for a two-fingered robotic manipulator, where the goal is to minimize the slip distance without using excessive force. To do this, we consider monotonic PI (MPI) ...
