In this paper we present a new heuristic algorithm to minimize the makespan for scheduling jobs on unrelated parallel machines with machine eligibility restrictions ( R^ I M .1 C^^). To the best of our knowledge, the ...

The work shows that the sampling in a digital PD controller of a flexible system may cause instability, while the continuous PD control system is stable. A procedure is introduced to define the stability regions analytically ...

This paper evaluates the dynamics of a novel manpowered transportation vehicle. The vehicle has a novel mechanism that maximizes the mechanical input work and utilizes the weight of the rider for propulsion. The rider ...

This paper presents a solution algorithm for solving the single machine early/tardy problem having fuzzy parameters in the constraints. There are several cost structures: job-independent, job-dependent and symmetric, and ...

This paper presents a solution algorithm for solving the job-shop scheduling problem involving fuzzy parameters in the constraints. It is considered that the processing times are those fuzzy parameters and the maximum ...
