متن کاملOn the Modelling of Bucket Brigades
This paper deals with the modelling of a particular class of manufacturing lines, governed by a rule imposing the self-balancing. Bucket brigades were first studied as stochastic dynamic systems. Thus, a sufficient condition for self-balancing was proved. Under some particular conditions, bucket brigades may be regarded as nonlinear dynamic systems. Simulations have shown that their state traje...
