A new mathematical model based on the alternative process routings in presence of a queuing system in a dynamic cellular manufacturing system has been proposed in this paper.This model integrates two problems of cell formation and inter-cell layout and also an efficiency factor which is defined for minimizing the cell load variation through the maximizing the busy time for all machine types. In...

This paper presents development of a dynamic model of a two-link flexible manipulator. An explicit, complete, and accurate nonlinear dynamic model of the system is developed using assumed mode method. The Lagrangian approach is used to derive the dynamic model of the system. Several responses including angular positions and displacements of both links are obtained and analysed.

  Most supplier selection models consider the buyer’s viewpoint and maximize only the buyer’s profit. This does not necessarily lead to an optimal situation for all the members of a supply chain. Coordination models have been developed to optimize the entire supply chain and align the decisions between its entities. Little research has been done on the application of these models in the supplie...

Employing the Differential Dynamics Method, a nonlinear dynamic model is set up to describe the international financial crises contagion within a short time between two countries. The two countries’ control force depending on the timely financial assistance, the positive attitude and actions to rescue other infected countries, and investor confidence aggregation, and the immunity ability of the...

gantry crane system becomes an interesting issue in the field of control technology development. In this paper, dynamic model of gantry crane is extracted using Lagrange method. This model has been linearized and weaknesses of state feedback control of this model is reviewed. To solve these problems, state feedback gain matrix is calculated using LQR method and results are fully investigated. F...

In an evolving community consisting of many individuals, it is often the case that the individuals tend, over time, to become more specialized in performing the tasks necessary for survival and growth of the community as a whole. In this work, linear and nonlinear mathematical models are presented for providing insights as to when and why this functional specialization emerges.

Drying-process of many kinds of farm produce in a close room, such as mushroom-drying machine, is generally a complicated nonlinear and timedelay cause, in which the temperature and the humidity are the main controlled elements. The accurate controlling of the temperature and humidity is always an interesting problem. It’s difficult and very important to make a more accurate mathematical model ...

introduction accurate estimation of the absorbed dose in radiosensitive organs, located away from the target volume during radiotherapy, is one of the main reasons for the development of reference phantoms. the international commission on radiological protection (icrp) reference phantoms can provide a more realistic view of the human anatomy in comparison with the previously used mathematical p...
