Abstract: In this paper, a method for determination of refractive index in membrane of fuel cell on basis of three-longitudinal-mode laser heterodyne interferometer is presented. The optical path difference between the target and reference paths is fixed and phase shift is then calculated in terms of refractive index shift. The measurement accuracy of this system is limited by nonlinearity erro...

This paper presents a two-phase clustering algorithm for machine-cell and partfamily formation in the design of cellular manufacturing systems. The proposed algorithm begins with the determination of initial cluster centers via a linear assignment method using the least similar group representatives in its first phase. A fuzzy C-means clustering method is followed in its second phase for part-f...

In order to enhance consumers’ experience of online shopping and reduce their unnecessary car trips for offline shopping, a new mode, namely, establishing the virtual-shopping-experience store, is proposed in this paper. A bi-level programming model then built with aim optimizing location stores. The upper-level submodel utilized optimize stores, as well selection virtual-reality (VR) devices p...

This paper develops a mathematical model in dynamic virtual cellular manufacturing systems with the multiperiod cell formation problem, production planning, dynamic virtual system reconfiguration and training workers. Since workers have important role in doing jobs on machines, assignment of workers to cells becomes a crucial factor in cellular manufacturing system. Also we have shown the role ...

cellular manufacturing system (cms) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. in this study, cms is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. the model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...
